I saw today in forest old 3'' floppy disk (for Amstrad CPC maybe), fake handheld with 2 "displays", fake camera with "7 MegaPixels" on it. Every year there is more junk.

Got this nice CF to IDE (2.5) mainly for my (ancient) Libretto 50ct...
The HD is 'slotted' like PCMCIA card and there was no way to put a CF card without disassemble the unit.

Yep I hope so, need to know if my DivIDE works and I just cant justify the price of a 128k heatsink at the moment Going upwards of £60 even close to £100

I so wish I still had the one I used when I was a wee nipper.

I suspect most/all of us made the same "mistake", more or less: we gave away our old little computer or console, and then (maybe years later) we regret it so much . But hey, this is life... the show must go on...
I think/learned we are not sentimentally linked to the machines themselves, but to those beautiful years with no real worries...

Nothing to do with Amiga's or gaming but i bought another plated lizard and wanted to show it off It looks a bit patchy as it's shedding at the moment

Sorry about the picture quality... It was taken at night with the red heat lamp switched on (it should have been asleep like me ).

Bought this yesterday to use on my PC, haven't got my USB-converters yet so I haven't been able to try them out. I also bought a brand new PC, but that's not as important
