Well, thanks to bidding from work and not checking what I already own first, I've ended up with a spare copy of the "Commodore Care Manual: Diagnosing and Maintaining Your 64 or 128 System". It's a TAB book, so it doesn't suck too bad, though most of what it covers is pretty elementary. A lot of it involves either common sense or some simple BASIC diagnostic programs. Like many of these types of books, the C128 coverage is pretty much tacked on to the earlier 64-only edition. Covers peripherals, too.

Anyway, if you live in the US of A and would like to have my spare copy, I'll be glad to send it to you, postpaid. First to post here gets it.

I've never heard of that book. I'd like to read it.
First to post?

Robert, even though you already have more Commodore stuff than God, you're the winner!
PM me your address and I'll get it shipped off this week.
Guys, watch for at least a couple of more freebie posts over the next few days. I've found a handful of duplicate books and programs I'd like to hand off to someone else who needs them. (I'm not going to mess around with eBay for stuff that will cost more in shipping than I'd get off of them anyway.)
Robert, you're ineligible now for any of my future giveaways. One per customer. :)
Believe it or not, there are people who have more Commodore stuff then Robert... not many, but a few. ;)

Nah, Bob Kadylo of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada has warehouses, semi-truck trailers, and ship containers of Commodore stuff. He has far and away the biggest cache of C= stuff in North America.

Ooo, I never win anything, except at raffles at union meetings.

I hope I don't miss out on any good stuff in the future. :-)

P.S. What am I saying? I picked up a free PAL, plastic C128D at today's TOGA meeting, and next Saturday a former Commodore/Amiga user is dumping a truckload of stuff into my storage.
Robert, I think I speak for all of us when I say: You Suck! :)
