Given that you have the 1983 DSE catalogue, throw up a couple of pics of the VZ200 pages!

I never had the diskdrive for the VZ's, i think i have a memory expander (a whole 34kb hehehe).
I solely bought my vz300 along with the RTTY kit to use with my scanner back in the day.

I know a guy down at Traralgon who has a crate of VZ's, about 50+ of them all versions.
He has a HUUUGE shed in the backyard and owns just about EVERY computer ever made.....seriously!

He even has the prototype Commodore"65" (yep, 65, not 64)....which was eventually released as ....drum roll....the Amiga !!

Well worth the drive to see his stuff. he has around 50 of everything, no effort to find a spare drive or cable or software.

His name is Anthony Beckett, and his webpage is: http://www.thepcmuseum.com/

Go to the "About Me" link along the bottom of the main page, and then scroll down the bottom of the 'about me' page for an insight into his shed back in 2001.....

I was there in 2005 and it was 'fuller' than the pics heheehehe.

He's a great guy, knows EVERYTHING about Everything with computers, who/when/where....

If you think you have an interest in computers, or know a lot about them, you're kidding yourself...this guy is king!! hehehehe.

I should get down there again sometime and have a decent look thru his stuff again...as far as i knew (back in 2005) just about EVERY computer on the benches are fully operational.
The computers in crates under the benches are spares to keep the bench ones alive.

Enjoy!
