I want to buy a C64 - anyone in Europe has one to spare? TX!

Picture all those that are being scrapped for SID chips to use in the Hard Sid board... Poor little fellas...
LOL - it's like killing Elefants for teeth... [just ocurred me] - Somebody ought to start a protection league.
If you just want a C=64 to run demos, why not use one of the emulators?
Cause someone once said "Emulators are not like the real thing" :)
Sort of. But since I am a fanatic of demos in every machine, I want to collect the most precious of them, to watch how my favorite demos look like in the real thing. And I am also thinking to start coding for a C64 oneday, it's twice the fun doing it in the real computer..

OK, I can understand that. For our demo party, we're going to have an "oldskool museum" with demos running on a bunch of ancient computers collected by a friend of mine. So I know where you are coming from. For me, I think I would just download an emulator or watch an AVI file, but I'm not as much a fantatic of old computing equipment as my friend :)
Hey! no emulator *fully* emulates the C64 itself! How can you emulate the feeling of having one in front of you? [And the peculiar SID sound? And the palette?]
I once had the idea, of an emulator, having for extra a 3d view of the real computer :)
I think I have seen it. An emulator or something, where you move around a virtual 3d coin-ops room, hearing sounds around from various blip blop games. But I don't know where it is this. A friend showed it to me..
BUt what about a good 3d model of a C64 working!

@weasel: i tried running Star Commander in Windows 2000... but it didn't work. I followed the fabulously complicated installation process for that Userport driver and finally managed to have SC detect the drive. any attempt to format a disk or write on it failed though. the program just freezes before it gets anything done...
I still haven't tested my cable yet (moreover because I haven't got it yet) but I believe your best bet is to get a MS-DOS bootdisk and work from there.
yep, blackie... FreeDOS works fine
jazzman:
Well, this ltp-port driver is a bit 'tricky' at the very beginning...
It's still kinda in 'beta-testing' but you can tweak it out already now to work just fine!
The important thing is the right combination between the driver and the star commander!
Important: Use the _latest_ version of star commander (although it might be beta-release!!!)
First try to get the commander running with the drive in 'normal' mode...if this is successful you can upgrade to 'warp' mode and try re-tweaking then...! ;-)
Do you have the correct Xcable? You surely need the XE version of it for getting it to work. All previous cables won't work anymore! :-/
Hope that helps you out a bit...
