Just got a 4 port cart expander for my 128D :-D
« on: September 22, 2006, 01:21:38 AM »
Now to see what are compatible used at the same time.

First off the 1750 512k ram expander, that should work with everything. Aaah sweet, 640K 8bit computer. Well that is until I hack it to 2Mb :-D

Next will be the retro replay with Silver Surfer, should work at the same time with the RAM. I gotta have a high speed serial port to use the 128D on the internet you know!

Finally, for now, will be the Pwr/Link for use with 64HDD. Having a hard drive on the 128D is also quite useful. This will be the question mark, I don't have it yet. It's still in transit from down under. This may not work at the same time as Retro Replay, which would suck. But if it doesn't, there are more than one way to skin a cat ;-) I can use a y serial cable(and maybe a switcher) and just disable the Pwr/Link when i need to use the Silver Surfer. Witht he Y-cable access the 64HDD through the serial link (slower). I also have a 1581 and the 1750 ram disk for mass storage.

Any other C= power users still here? I know you are :-D

@neuroflip
Nice site!! That's a hell of a good soldering job you do there!! My soldering looks like a mess compared to you :-)

@Argus
Yes and no. I own a MMC64, but it's MMC card support isn't like a hard drive. :-(

@-D-
I saw that one and was temped to buy it myself as a backup. Last time I checked there was only an hour left and only bid up to $61. Shipping was reasonable too. You should have gotten it.

@buzz
First try I can't get either the MMC64 or the Retro Replay to work at all :-(

@recidivist
WOW!! You are a power user!! I bow to you :-D I used to drool over the CMD stuff, but back when CMD was still in business I couldn't afford the price tags. Now I can afford CMD stuff, but it's impossible to get. You say you don't use your Commodore stuff anymore? If you feel like selling it, I'd be VERY eager to unload it from you. I'm dying to get my hands on some CMD stuff :-D PM me if you are interested in selling :-D

I could do that, though some of the others here may need assistance setting up to cruise BBS'es.

One question, Temporal Vortex is a multiline BBS with a chat area? If you want to set up a time, I can probably make it. :-)

Heck i may even log in on my Vic20 :-D

@spihunter

You did probably set the 40/80 switch right? And the CVBS/RGB switch on the monitor etc? Just making sure.
