Bizarre CD32 floppy drive for sale on eBay

I would like to see a PPC accelerator for the CD32 to run OS4.
...with a 750CL @ 973Mhz...

Why bother it will only take a few days to port OS4 to gamecube or wii  :-D

You are probably right.  :-P

@AJCopeland
Don't know how.

However there plenty of CD32s around (100,000) to make it a viable OS4 for Classic target.  The included CD-ROM eliminates the need for the boot floppy.  The CD32 expansion bus has everything the 1200's expansion does and more.

I was running the SX-1 and 3.1 before the harddrive started dying and I built my first Windows box.

100,000 is the official # quoted from Dave Haynie and other sources that were produced for sale.

About a year later, lots of spare parts, including replacement drives showed up on the market.

I still have mine and it works, though I have to put a weight on the lid to make it close all the way and read a CD.
