Hell! I'm definately up for it! C64? Picked one up some time ago but haven't
been doing much with it except the occasional game.
I've been doing all kind of things with the Apple II and had thoughts of
having some dumb-terminal software tracking the II serial port while I try
to port ascii-files and maybe the occasional binary from the Newt: must be
possible!
As for the Sinclair, the 48k Spectrum was my first ever computer (the
Sinclair User mag was where I 'borrowed' the kamikaze-bear tag and I've
grabbed a copy of some book on hacking airwave transmittions using Z80 and
Sinclair BASIC but there you go!
On the "discontinued" front, newt-wise, Ive been trying to trace a good
supplier of PCMCIA flash cards: does anyone know a good supplier?
