kurtsh<p>I got a COPYIIPC Option Board in pristine, unopened condition. </p><p>It copied magnetic traces disk-to-disk.

kurtsh<p>I managed to get a pristine, sealed-in-the-box Copy II PC Option Board. I own 3 of these but this is the only one in an original box with the cover letter, manual, floppy disc, etc. Man, I loved this little piece of hardware back in the day. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weakbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weakbit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/centralpoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>centralpoint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/copyiipc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyiipc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/transcopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transcopy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintage</span></a></p>
