Won't any IDE drive work? Just won't recogonise the whole space. Been a long time since I've even seen IDE stuff.

I've had issues with other old computers not recognising big 'modern' IDE drives, I might have something that I could partition and see if it works. Also just want to try compact flash since it'll be like having an SSD in the early 90's.

We get it m9, you're old.

/Still have all my C64 junk in the wardrobe, tape, 5 1/4" discs, probably no suitable screen.

I never had any amiga / commodore stuff only ever had IBM PC stuff growing up. But I do have an old monitor with a scart connection which is probably for an amiga of some sort.

I remember playing on what must have been a c64 or something in form 1 or what ever it’s called now. There was this game kind of like at Arkanoid except it might have been a moving tank at the bottom and you shoot moving things along the top . I beat the teachers score and he wasn’t happy lol. Wonder what the game was...

 

Also I remember our first pc was a 386 which dad said the sales man was adamant you’d never need more than the massive 40mb hard drive lol. Before that I’m pretty sure we had a ZX spectrum but my only memory of that was that squishy feeling buttons.
