Thread: Show off your collection/setup

    Like Tezza, my collection is stored in cardboard boxes (each system has it's own labeled box or boxes) and displayed on my web site.

    The video game systems, while in boxes at the moment, are preparing to move to their new home. I am designing a cabinet for my living room where they can all live together. To play any one system, all I will have to do is press the button associated with that system and enjoy. They will all be connected to a central switching panel so there's no need for manually unhooking and reconnecting each system as I want to play. I may have to have to design it to allow two systems to play at the same time on two TVs - one for me and one for my gf - otherwise I may never get to play

    Well, it's not really Gorm shelfs, it's Biltema's Trähylla... They were once cheaper than IKEA's Gorm.

    And there are not that many Compis machines... Only three, one Compis II and two ordinary Compises.

    Does every 8 Bit commodore user have a stack of 1541's ? I know I've been guilty of that for a while although I think I've dwindled my stack down to 5 (not including the 1541 II's)
    (I'll have to get shots of the attic when I get it cleaned up a bit)

    I have 5 or so 1541 and 2 1571 for my 3 C64 units and 1 c128. One is permanently attacked to a PC to dump image files to disk.

    Sooner or later working 1541 drives will be uncommon, and I suspect there are more C64 then 1541 drives now.
    What I collect: 68K/Early PPC Mac, DOS/Win 3.1 era machines, Amiga/ST, C64/128
    Nubus/ISA/VLB/MCA/EISA cards of all types
    Boxed apps and games for the above systems
    Analog video capture cards/software and complete systems

    I have never owned a single 1541 drive. I do have two 1541-II though.. well, three actually although the third one is untested. For a short while I had a 1581 but I sold it to a better suited person. Of course I have a small pile of IEEE floppy drives in the basement, most which are broken though so likely to end up at the dump next spring.
