I seem to remember some one was looking for one, just found this on Wheedle

http://www.wheedle.co.nz/general/Commod ... er-1907733

Not sure if of any use

Photo & Description is identical to this one on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=687029053&permanent=0

Description has been copied and pasted from other auction ?

At face value looks like someone has cloned Nats-crafts listing ?

sets off all kinds of warning alarms.

Cool machines, if I remember correctly, 3.5" 8 bit IDE?
I wanted a stab at it too, but bids are already a bit high for me.

You never know with prices. I sold a working one in perfect nick on Trade me about 2 years ago. It went for a mere $20.

If only keyboards cables and mouses had of been attached at factory with little chains

I wonder why there are so many computers with no cables and keyboards is it because the keyboard and cables can
fit in the bin and the box part just wouldn't fit, 10 years back so it hung around until now ?

Yes, and just on the keyboard: it does have a special connector, so you can't just use the standard Model F/Model M clone keyboards.

The one listed on Wheedle has since been withdrawn. Likely it's the same machine.

As far as I know, it's a standard 5 pin DIN XT port on the side.
I can test/supply a matching Commodore 101 key keyboard if someone has a generic XT clone keyboard to swap. I have 3 of them.

HDD is XT-IDE, but you can actually low level format it if it needs it. Someone posted the instructions on here a while ago, good bit of info to know.

Hmm...maybe I'm confusing the PC-10 III connector with my Commodore PC-5 keyboard connector. It's been a while since I gazed upon the PC10-III.
