You need a record player. I'm sure somebody in your family probably still has one. You need floppy disks or a zip drive with zip disks. Whichever you prefer. But the most important piece of equipment you need is records. :D

if you have a 2k you need the OS on a floppy (or zip) to start up the machine. the latest OS can be found at http://www.forat.com/service/ , its under the XL and above the 60. unzip it and put it on a disk. next thing you need is a turntable, records, a pair or headphones AND cables.

have fun
