    Not sure what made me chuckle more - the "1989" comment or the
    tagline. :-)

    Congrats! I was pretty happy to get mine. Although, I'd still like a //c+ :)

    Did you put the custom ROM in yours? And are you using anything other than
    the stock/built-in floppy? My floppy drive is disconnected and I have a
    ribbon cable for the floppy emu sticking out of the back.

    There are several, if you aren't on them already!

    Captain's Quarters
    Dura-Europos
    Sanctum 2
    The Brewery
    Aerodrome
    ... I'm probably missing some.

    No I haven't modded mine, its all original. The previous owner took very good care of it and kept it very clean; the stock drive works perfectly.

    I bought the Adtpro serial cable and an Ebay auction for 200+ blank floppies so am able to slowly acquire all the best software I remember using.

    I still don't quite understand why its difficult to write Nibble images or what the whole point of that format was. The DSK format works perfectly.

    I edited my original message to include addresses on this side, but I'm not sure if you'd get the change. Maybe I can copy/paste if you don't :)
