This week on "Chickenhead Chronicles" I am unboxing the awesome Commodore 128 goodies I picked up at EE Surplus a few weeks back. I got ahold of a really nice C128, a pair of lovely 1571 drives, a Teknika monitor with RGBI and Chroma/Luma/Composite and a nice 9 pin Star Micronics printers along with a huge box full of software! Today we will be exploring and troubleshooting the hardware and discovering a problem or two along the way and you get to hear me singing the theme to Ghostbusters!

Thanks to Richard Black for reminding me, I forgot to link to the World of Commodore meeting next week! Check it out. The schedule should be out soon.
