Wanted - 800 XL (with the Rev B keyboard. Has "tall" keys and a sort of
pebbled surface on the keycaps) and a clean, working 1050 drive.
 
This is for a friend, strictly for entertainment. No "extras" are needed/
wanted. 
 
Will pay around $160 for both (the going rate in mid-michigan)
 
Additional features, again, while not wanted, will help make the sale at that
price. The "crummy keyboard" machines are going to need to have something
really wonderful to make up for the awful keyboard.
 
Speaking of good keyboards - Howard's XL he has for sale has one: I know, I
went through a bunch of BS to get it for him!
(Howard: Hpope you like the J.T. keys better! Personally, this Amiga 2000
 kicks. All it takes is money...)
 
Interested parties should leave a message on my Lansing BBS, The Club, 
at (517) 372-3131. Uninterested parties should call the Club II in Detroit,
as I just received the usage reports and the 8 bit crew there is well managed
and hoppin' (313) 334-8877. The Club II still has the life history of memory
upgrade software online, including 1 huge ARC file that is the combination of
everything we've ever recieved. 
 
With memory prices the way they are, will upgrades ever be the same?
Still, well worth it to stick Japan for it's insane trading policies.
