Well, SCCAN member Charles G. gave me a C128DCR board which he could not get working (I wonder what happened to the rest of the computer). Several months ago when I was in the Pacific NW I handed it over to Ray Carlsen for repair. Ray diagnosed and repaired it - bad JiffyDOS chip and missing 8502 and Kernal ROM (the last two probably when Charles scavenged it for parts). I pick up the repaired board on Wednesday.
Now that the board is working, what should I do with this extra? CBM engineer Bil Herd has no C128DCR; he's always said that the West Germans took his original C128 creation and modified it. I have the idea to gift the board to him. What a surprise it will be when he gets a board which is the stepchild to his original!
