I got an unexpanded EX at ebay for a fair price around 70USD. It got few issues: the computer wouldn't POST and the drive light on.
I found out the motherboard was short circuiting in the metal plate, losening few screws and adding a piece of paper solved. The drive needed some lube and a head cleaning.
Now I am trying to find anything that runs on it, or that fits into the 360KB disks. For example: is there a KQ1 copy for it ? Everything I get is in a single .zip for hd install.
Got some files from oldskool site but they seem to either be for 720KB disks or requires more than 256kb.
so is a unexpanded ex so useless anyway ?
BTW: the last memory expansion on ebay was sold this week fro whopping 200 USD! No way, i prefer not to use it at all....
