- Almost nothing. You might be able to get a couple hundred for parts.

- Didn't know it was broken. I fired up my machine for old times sake the other
- day and PCE ran just fine, just like it always did. Though, as Michel pointed
- out, since you can now run Medley on a PC there's not much use for it.
- Twisted idea: bring up SoftPC on a Sun and run Medley in it. You're now running
- an emulation of a d-machine (sort of) on an emulation of a PC... Anyone
- got any machine emulators that run in Medley and we can see how far we
- can take this? Something like an IBM 360 emulator would be great :-).
