Re: Pre-Orders: Final Expansion 3 Rev 11 [2nd Batch]

Another good one is to get the date and time of files along with the directory listing:

@$=T

Re: S-Video conversion possible as plug-and-play solution?

I did another machine. This time I used 360 ohm and not 75 ohm like before. Hello, I did your mod today and I love it!! I have a cheap, old LCD TV that looks as bad as the photo of particularly bad composite on: http://sleepingelephant.com/denial/wiki/index.php?title=S-Video_output I was trying to ...

Nice one!

I was going to say DRAX Advanced. There are a couple more DRAX from the early 90s that I really like.

At least it's nice that he makes an effort to check it. No, you can't be too sure, maybe they stuffed some Wizard of Wor chips in the production line of Voodoo Castle. :-) Or perhaps at that time so they got the same (wrong) markings. Protos are often in programmable ROM of some kind, aren't they? ...

Wizard of Wor proto?

Jeff-20 wrote:We've been begging for someone to take on Wizard or Wor for years. More so after Berzerk was released. There's even a gap in the Commodore serial numbers indicating a prototype may even exist.

Wow, I didn't even think about that... good question. Yes, it was this board (the older of the two boards) that was missing the 2 RAM chips. All RAM is in sockets. They are in the top-left corner of the RAM bank. If you look closely, the two new chips have 3-lines of text and the others have 2 lines...

opened worldwide

Good call-out. I've opened the auction up to worldwide shipping. I got two of these in a set off of eBay from a Denial member who didn't have time to go through everything and test them. (There are a lot of switches!) One of the units needed a couple of memory chips (were missing). Both boards are n...

(A 3.5mm jack will be exposed to the end user.) The Class 10 SDHC Card will be substituted with something slower. Buyer ...
