Microsoft is interested in my CD32 and Amiga gear.


Are you talking about the model that Sega resold as the SX32 addon for the Genesis?  If so, then it makes you wonder why emulators such as Gens can't run amiga software...

Especially since (if I recall correctly) the SX32 came with a slightly changed version of the CD32 and and/or a bridge chip to the Genesis?

Just don't send it DHL...anywhere! If your wondering why, click here[/url (search for 'DHL').  It might be a little of topic, but since it's related to shipping, it is relevant...since your goal is to get rid of it, right?

Anyway, I too had to send an HP back to them for service back in 2000, and on the way back, DHL delivered it to the wrong addresss...in a different state.  At the time I was living in Georgia.

I am quite curious as to why?


Me too!

I dont know if I should sell it to him.


Okay, I would gladly buy it...just PM me with the info and your e-mail addresss...assuming you check your e-mail more often than your a.org messages!  :-D

Again, a CD32 would be MILES better can the glitch-prone UAE emulator....that's why I'm interested.

The only question is, in the above case, what would I need to connect it to a DB15 switchbox? Perhaps via USB???

@Flashlab

I wasn't calling anybody an idiot.  I was simply pointing out the inability of DHL to properly and prompty deliver packages on time and at the correct address.  I was only trying to warn lierbag28 about who to avoid.  Especially since I've encountured their crooked billing/shipping department myself.  :crazy:

Okay...I recceived a message from leirbag... it basically says:

1. You can send me the money via Western Union

How do you send money via Western Union?

2. I get the cash in one hour!

Does he mean he receives the money one hour from the time you transfer it via WU or that it is too late now (he sent the PM at 11:52 AM CST)?

3. It has:
- some internal soldered wires for more power
- a PSU that's mssing the power plug that plugs into the CD32.
- a fan in the front that was cut into

Other than that, it comes in its original box with 2 joypads and Microcosm game.

So what would be required for connection the CD32 to either a TV or a DB15 (VGA) LCD monitor whose sync ranges are:

Horizontal: 30-81
Vertical: 56-76

So, what do you guys think?  A good deal?

It ends at 3:52 EST

Hint: see my post on the previous page (near the top) for more details
