> I'm surprised some of the C64s still work. The C64 PSU are notoriously flimsy but the C128 PSU is known to be exceptionally good (and not to be mistaken for an Amiga 500 PSU: physically they look the same but the pinouts are different and shall fry your machine!). My C128 (the one I had back when I was a kid) still worked last time I tried it: during the Covid 2020 lockdown. Not only it still worked, with the sound and everything, about 2/3rd of my 5"1/4 floppy disks were still working too (I know that that won't last though). Obviously the disk drive was still working (a 1570 in my case, a weird hybrid between a 1541 and a 1571).
