   better to look in the thrift shops these days... you'd be surprised what folks   
   take in to them for others to pick up and enjoy... i once found a complete   
   C-64 with original packing, manuals, software with additional hardware and   
   software in a local thrift store for $20US... if i had had the cash available,   
   i'd have grabbed it then...

   yeah, some ports do not like being connected and disconnected while powered   
   up... old SCSI is especially bad about it... it definitely doesn't like having   
   the wrong device plugged into it, either... eg: centronix ports used for   
   different items like printers and external SCSI HDs or scanners...
