Hmmm...well I actaully have 2 C64's, one drive and cheap b+w monitor. The last time I tried these things were several years back and as I recall I was able to load my Sonorus CZ editor/lib but it didn't work quite right. I have set them up again but I can't seem to get any prompt to show up onscreen. At least thats how I remeber it should work.. turn it on and a prompt should appear so I can type in the load command. Both power supplies and both computers do exactly the same thing. The things will turn on once but won't turn on again unless I pull the power transformer plug from the electrical socket and stick it back in. Very weird. Kinda like rebooting the power cord! Sitting there yanking the power cord in and out of the electrical socket fast and repeatedly will finally yield some garbled jibberish on the monitor screen. Both power supplies and C64's do the react the same way. Very, very strange. I tried finding some troubleshooting stuff on the web and apparently these chips can open up and oxidize and the power transformer themselves are known for being crappy. And I don't know what the hell is up with these things. It looks like I won't have acccess to all my old sounds. Rats.
