Title: Retro Replay
Post by: motrucker on October 22, 2006, 11:53:02 PM
Does anyone here have the Retro Replay cartridge? Using it with a C-128? How well does it work as a freezer, monitor, and with the Silver Surfer?
I am really tempted, if it works OK on NTSC machines.

I use it all the time, works great. Any specific questions?

Yup - How does the Silver Surfer work? I just happen to have one laying around here;)
and does it really work somewhat like the old Action Replay for freezing memory resident programs? - both 64 and 128.
And finally, where did you get yours from. The German sight I found that sells it what a fortune for shipping.

You plug it into the clockport on the Retro Replay and you close the flash jumper on the Retro Replay. Turn on the machine and load a program that supports it. I use Novaterm all the time and get at best stable 57600 BAUD, in 64 mode (Novaterm uses 64 mode on the 128, but access the VDC 80 col chip).

I don't think I ever used an Action Replay, but I've used the freezer on RR all the time. Works great, but 64 mode only.

My own company was a reseller, but I havn't been selling for some time now  :-( You could always buy directly from Individual Computers. Or, if you are going to wait a while, I may actually start selling C= 8bit stuff again in a month or so.

Keep me posted? Sounds like something I should add to the old 128 system, but I'm not a real hurry.
I'd rather help support you, too.
