Hey Richard,

 RM> Commodore power bricks are said to be bad quality.

This is what I've heard too, so I'll stay clear of the one that comes with it
and wait for a new one that is much better built.

 RM> Having a 1541 Ultimate is definitely a good idea!

That's what I thought. It's a great piece of kit.

 RM> But it might be even better to go the UItimate 64 route.

I thought about that, but 1) desoldering all those chips is going to be a
paaaaaain (I'm already at my skill limit with the caps), and 2) I wanted to
try and keep it as stock as possible. I'm sure you can relate :)

 RM> I assembled an EasyFlash cart once:

Oh dope! Didn't know you could do this. I definitely want to try and keep it
as stock as possible but once I get "bored" I might try this out. Of course,
another $80 I shouldn't be spending ;-)

Thanks for the advice and insight.

- Andre
