Got the Stack mobo. Just need the BUTI+ and a MegaCart, and that's my VIC setup complete.

Got my first VIC 20 in January 1983. Wow nearly 30 Years ago!

Got my second VIC 20 in June 1998, it lasted for 48 hours before it went BANG!

Got my third about a week after my second went bang, it never worked.

Got my fourth (and current one) about a year ago. I'm surely going to dig it out of the loft tomorrow and plug in my Protovision Competition Pro and my Mega Cart. I haven't switched it on this year so far!

no, no, no you've got it all wrong, start hawling and hoarding the chips and capacitors, there will by vic-20s until the fifth coming of christ!

ps: I got my first Vic in 2008, my second in 2009. Yes, vic-20 is still recruiting.
