Sell it to me!

Hook it up, and test it. I can give you $20-25 plus shipping if it all works.

It should be self-explainatory to hook-up, but if you need help, look here, Lemon 64 Manuel, Installation pages.
And here is the rest of the manuel, Lemon 64's Commodore 64 manuel.

We can talk deals over PM. Thanks!

Ok, I have that disk drive that vb_master wants, but I don't have the RF thingy nor the video cable. I have most of the documentation. I just can't get it to work on a TV. Hmmm selling it would be nice but..... I want to see what it can do first. BTW, that disk drive is reallly heavy... also I have a printer.

I wouldn't need the printer.

You could word process or run GEMOS, but that's about it. It is extremely hard to get GEMOS running on it. Why do I want one? I want to program on it, do other stuff, ect.

You can buy those cables on Ebay for about $6-9.

You might be able to use a NES RF box to test it out, so if you have one lying around, you could use that, theroreticaly.

where can I find the pinouts for the video to make a custom cable?

Here's the pinout in a .txt file.

thanks, I hope to get it working soon.
it was my neighbor's commodore, she is like a grandma to me.
she said she used it to do labels and some word processing on "homeworld".
I might sell the system, maybe some part of it.

I would be interested in the main system, and the floppy drive, I don't need the printer. I can give you $20-25 plus shipping for it. I would like the power cable and your video cord, as well. We can talk more over PM, thanks!
