    Agent - You've still got a ZX81? Is it boxed? Working? If its both, you've got a very rare item on your hands.

    Not boxed, but working, with a 16k? 32k? 64k? (one of them, truly cant remember what was released for it), and a few orignal games.

    Also got a Acorn electron and a few other things
