Had?
Have! I could open a Commodore museum--Pet (4032x2, 8032-just the motherboard)
Vic, 64, 128, SX64 and many many peripherals--4040, 8250 dd for the Pets,
1541x4, 1571x2, 1581x1 drives for the 64, et al, modems, joysticks, writing
pads, printers, cartridges, 500+ disks, 2000+games... (and some disks still work

like me who added a reset button).
