Gearing up to buy a SuperCPU 128!!
« on: November 15, 2007, 03:59:16 AM »
Looks like after a short break, I will be getting back to retro computing in a big way! I am abut to buy a buttload of C= and Amiga goodies, about a garage full. Of the goodies I will be keeping is a SuperCPU 128 :banana:  :banana:

Do we have any SuperCPU owners here?

I have not seen one in action in person, but I have read enough through the years and seen videos of them in action to know I want one. Ever since I got on the internet in the mid-90s I have known I wanted one.

I know full well direct software support is limited and I know it's limitations. Even still, this is the one piece of hardware I have wanted over any other, ever. Now if I can source a CMD hard drive, I will be set 8-)

Nice find (re the SuperCPU), aren't those almost impossible to get nowadays?


Damn right they are hard to get :-( Maurice Randall bought out CMD, but his Click Here Software has been unwilling or unable to fill orders.

Well, I went and picked up my new system today. 9 hours on the road later, I am officially the proud owner of a SuperCPU 128 :banana:

I picked up a few more bits, a couple I may sell, but mainly bought just for myself.  I had intended to buy him out, but we couldn't agree on a price I guess. This gentleman has quite a lot of equipment, both Commodore 8bit and Amiga. He really doesn't do the eBay thing much, but he would like to sell his goods. I would recommend him if you are looking to pick some stuff up. His prices would be fair to good, but not ridiculously cheap. He does have a lot of good stuff, including some hard to find and rare items. He's old school and he really knows his stuff. As an example. buy a 1541/1571/1581 from him and you will know it has been aligned, professionally tested and cleaned. Amigas? He tests, cleans and changed batteries in all his models, he also isololates the battery in a unique way. Amazing the time and effort he spends for prices probably much better than eBay.

If you are interested, PM me and I will give you his contact info.

@AmiDog

That ray casting engine looks awesome, something said that could not be done!

You have any other projects for SuperCPU?
