I have two antique VIC-20s and a Commodore 64, a couple of external floppy drives, cassette drives, joysticks, software, etc. Before I add to our landfill problems, does anybody have a use for these beauties?

I could use the C-64 & software. I'll even pay your shipping costs <G>. Bob Hayes

Charles, See your email for my offer! Thanks! Jamie

Charles, Rather than just toss them out – I think you might at least try giving them to one of the charitable organizations such as the Salvation Army. Or a small school. Church?

Charles, If you have any software, especially carts, for the VIC-20, I would be very interested. I bought a friend a VIC-20 + OmegaRace last year – it almost brought tears to his eyes 🙂 I might be interested in a cassette drive, but only if there are some functioning software cassettes to go with it. Ditto the drives (did VIC-20 software come out on floppy at all?) Thanks! //Jonathan, \\//via AutoPilot

The first 1541 drives were VIC drives. —Betty

I have a box with about 40 cartridges from way way back… I think it's in storage someplace… I'll have to go dig them up. Gee, I wonder if my VIC-20 is back there too?

FOLKS: I _really_ want a VIC-20 with an Omega Race cartridge. BAD. I'll trade neat Amiga software for one. Please. 🙂

Denny- I have a VIC-20 with Omega Race… I think.. isn't that the game where you run your ship around a rectangle shooting at the meanies? Bouncing off the walls and stuff? I have it in storage someplace. Ought to make a collectors item someday… -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot \\// MAC Quadra 700 & 486 emulation via Amiga!

Jonathan, If you have anything in storage that you want to part with (reasonably, of course), drop me a line. //Jonathan, \\//via AutoPilot
