Title: Amiga 1200 Twister Mk2 serial interface
Post by: sheepz on February 05, 2013, 11:04:40 AM

I am selling alot of my Amiga stuff to fund a MOOG synthesizer so please look at my other amiga hardwear and softwear thats for sale!

I have an unbox twister Mk2 serial interface for sale that plugs into the clock port.

Have not used it in over 5 years and dont have anyway of testing it so its sold as is.

I bought it from power computing and used it for my first modem, comes with the softwear
disc that still works.

will be on eBay starting at £20. I live in Aberdeen Scotland and will post world wide.

thanks
Barry!

Was looking at your listings and saw Silent Service II.  It reminded me of something funny.

My brother used to play the original on ZX Spectrum a lot but he got into a habit of leaving it running and expecting me wait for him to come back and finish his game before I could use the computer.
I think I may have let him have his way the first few times, he was the elder brother, but then I'd reset and play what I wanted.  When I'd heard him come into the house I'd reset into 48k basic mode and and use the usr* command to create authentic looking system crashes, I even found an address space that made a sound like the engine sound in the game.

I think he must have concluded that the game would crash if left unattended for long periods since I don't remember doing it too many times and I know he'd have gone nuts if he'd had an inkling I was behind it.

usr* launches machine code beginning at the memory address you specify.

..and then you went on to create fake webpages with login screens that looked like authentic well-known ones and collect usernames/passwords? ;)

That would be a neat trick from a 48K ZX Spectrum ;-)
