Is that like the guys who used to nail their spectrums and ram expansion to
lumps of wood to try to fix the dreaded "ram-pack wobble"? :)

Ive seen a few of those around, mostly at the recycling plant :) Never had the
(mis)fortune to use one though.

My SXes are detailed here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SX-64 - yes, it
really says 10.5 Kgs. I think this might be a misprint. They seem much heavier
:)

These things wouldnt run linux, however they would run lunix, the unix variant
for the commodore 64.

There, back on topic :)
