Gotta love ebay. Really. You see, another one of them fabled computer/video-gaming rarities has turned up and it's no other than the utterly amazing Commodore SX-64 (a.k.a. Executive 64), the portable sibling of the famous Commodore 64, complete with 5,25" disk-drive and built-in crisp color monitor.
Oh, and you might be interested in finding out that the SX-64 was the world's first color portable computer and also the only one you could ever use to play with Little Computer People too. Then again, it lacks a cassette port and can only run disk or cartridge games, but, really, who would notice.
To find out more about said 23-pound miniaturization wonder have a look at Wikipedia, OldComputers.net, Vintage Computers and/or of course the aptly named SX64.net.
For a rare chance to actually own a Commodore SX-64 try this Commodore SX-64 ebay auction. Seller ships worldwide.

is lovely... sx-y even
ReplyDeleteThe SX-64 isn't rare. It isn't as common as a breadbox 64 but calling it rare is a stretch. There are always 5-10 available on eBay.
ReplyDeleteQuite s-xy. Like the sx-y thing I 'd say dear Elderly.
ReplyDeleteOh, and anonymous, I'm afraid you're dead wrong. I've been searching ebay for quite some time and it's the first time in months I found an SX-64 and it was only one.
Really? Here's an another:

If you search closed auctions you'll find seven have sold in the last week and dozens in the last 90 days. I guess you need to be more thorough in your searches.
Hmmm... truth is I'm mainly searching the co.uk parts of amazon, which means you could well be right...
ReplyDelete..still sxy though.... which is rare in a console....
ReplyDeleteNot when you search "s-xy consoles" @ ebay, it isn't...
