Now that I have a working Commodore 128 on my desk, I have started scouring the net for cheap accessories to complete the system. I was reading through a pamphlet for hardware and I kept thinking, wow this all sounds familiar. Then I remembered this promo video for the 128. It is has amazing early computers hardware shots and impressive animations. Beware, this might make you run out and get a 128 of your own.
