Finally got one.
« on: September 17, 2007, 05:26:16 PM »
I have been wanting one of these forever. I think I got a pretty good deal, as I have seen them go for much more.
The shipping is what really jacks the price up.
CD32
Now if I can ever find a sx-1 or sx-32.

That IS a good deal, even on this side of the pond. Considering these go for much more in the states, and looks clean.

Have fun, they are nice. I suppose.. :)

I have a SX-1 that I would be willing to sell to you.  Send me a PM if you are interested and make me an offer I can't refuse.  :-)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

The one thing the CD32 needs is a fast RAM upgrade. The SX-32 (non pro) is a great upgrade but not particularly affordable, the PRO version is just not worth the money they sell for. The SX-1 sucks in my opinion cos it sticks out the back of the console.

I tried to make some cheap sx32 equivalents last year, but much more simple, just an RGB out and 4Meg RAM.

The price of the edge connectors is extortionate! You also had to have a minimum order of 500.

I just made two using the samples I managed to blag.

If you need RGB you can solder a scart cable directly to the edge connector, drill a small hole through the expansion cover and add cable ties either side to prevent the soldering coming loose when the cable is waggled.
