The pictures in this directory have a very international background. George Page, an American Commodore collector, sent the photos of his disk drives to me, a Finnish C= enthusiast, while I was in Lübeck, Germany. The pictures were scanned by my German friend Andreas Boose, and transferred to Finland by disk and over the net.
Below is the description George Page sent me with the photos. Hope you enjoy them!
Also thumbnails of the pictures are available: 1-10, 11-20.
