Looking for items in US

Looking for the following items in the US:

1. Power supply for flat style c128

2. RGB cable to connect c128 to 1084s (8pin to 8pin)

3. Fast loader cart for c128 (already have 2 for C64)


Thanks in advance for any info or leads (not ebay, please)

1. I don't think I have any extras, but I'll check later today.

2. I use an extension cable that I found at MicroCenter: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0200562 My monitor is a C= 2002 and uses the 9-pin sub-D connector that is found on the 128. When you say 8 pin, are you talking the round connector?

3. I know I have one (and only one) but I'll have to get it out to see what name/manufacturer it is.

Thanks!  Iappreciate your time in checking about the power supply, James.

My current power supply is making some awful buzzing noise, so I think it is dead/dying.  I won't use it anymore for fear of frying the 128 itself.  It obviously is my first concern, because without a power supply, the 128 is just a rather big doorstop. :|

Oops!  You're right about the monitor cable, I meant 9 pin to 9 pin.  Silly fingers mistyped on me.  I'll check that link you supplied.

I'm not too worried about the fastloader if I can't find the first two items, though.

I did not find any spare flat 128 power supplies. The fastloader is Mach128 from Access, and claims to work in both 64 and 128 modes.

As far as the monitor cable, almost any "extension" cable with sub-D connectors will do.... joystick, etc. Just be sure it's not a null-modem cable, as that would cross two wires to make the computer think it's attached to a modem instead of another computer.

I've got a couple of these to sell.  $12.80 plus shipping.

Thanks for all the great info, folks.  It's really appreciated.

A friend had an old CGA/EGA extension cable in his collection and that worked GREAT for the RGB monitor.

I also managed to get my hands on a whole working C128 system with a good power supply, so my only real concern now (and it was the most minor one), is to find a fastload cart for the 128.  I'm in no rush for this, but have a few lead to check out.

You guys are great, and again I thank you for your help.
