Hey all.


Col from the UK here. Had a CPC464 with pretty much every peripheral when I was a kid, now decided to recapture my youth (it's not working) and get a few CPC's together.


So far... very very very dirty 464 with bad output (there's definitely going to be a post about that very soon) that came with a GT65 monitor. And just got home from picking up a very nice 6128, boxed, with manual and a 644 monitor, all in perfect working order (although I don;t have ANY disks yet to test it with (I do have a full set of drive belts though)).


So, I will need lots of help, I fully intend to fix what I can (I'm fairly nifty with a soldering iron) and learn a lot.


So, yup. Me.


Tada.

Haha . . . as for me still I find it hard to get over the fact that my very parents threw away my cpc 464 when cleaning up the old house and home and that without proper consultation . . . could it and should it be a grudge to be if only slightly held forever I am not sure even though I am sure I could be playing wonder boy or bombjack or even tomahawk this very evening

anyway sorry such a general cpc topic or post always tends to get me to the point of some sort of rambling

Welcome to the forum!

Good to hear you're getting back into the CPC, and it sounds like you've already got a couple of machines to get you started!

Not having any disks isn't necessarily a problem as I think most users use SD cards these days... the M4 wifi card also emulates a disk drive, and you can connect a HxC disk emulator to the 6128 pretty easily!

Anyway, whatever you do, enjoy the cpc's!
