Well, you don't have to panic about the monitor, I don't recall Acorn making one specifically for the Master Compact. But the bases seem to all get separated from them sooner or later. I expect that because it's "just a PSU and disk drive", people don't think they're that important. I have an Amstrad CPC6128 that is sans monitor - which also had the PSU for the keyboard built into it, so I've never run it. Took all the screws out of it to use the built in 800kB 3" floppy drive in another project, and never got around to doing anything else with it. Yes, I have a handful of suitable diskettes, one of the 'lucky few' from the sounds of things - regarding the floppies, not so much without a suitable PSU!
I've looked at the GoMMC and other storage add ons for the Beeb, I'd love to have one too. I guess now after such a glowing review I'll have to divert a larger portion of my fix funds towards purchasing one.
