haha thanks. Appreciate that. I want to do the standard full tear down and overview + do a lot of mod stuff (Pico power supply, max out ram, go SCSI2SD, etc etc)Someone get this man one now. He'll probably do incredible things with it and make awesome videos about it.
lol well I need to keep Esoterica shit on "Esoterica" don't I?Don't do it.
yeah it's a great device. Especially for arcade stuff. Revived that Crypt Killer pcb with one...so easySCSI2SD is a godsend.
Good luck on your hunt. I've always been interested in one of these myself but not enough to pull the trigger.
In fact, it was a Dr. Shroom post I read a few months ago that convinced me to not bother buying a X68.Don't do it.
That was my initial idea but I know 9/10 defective units will just have a shit power supply. I’ll manage to buy the 1/10 that has roaches and electrolytic fluid eating at the board.You could probably find a defective one on yaj for a decent price.
Probably just a bad power supply.
the worst., Roach goo is just foulMy first X68k had dead bugs in its keyboard
yeah I may just try and grab a "wont power on" junk one on YAJ and assume it just needs a power supply conversion to a PicoMy brother's was sold on Yahoo Japan as junk. Luckily it was able to boot games, despite the CMOS error message it always displayed. Never got rid of the message until recently. It was a great find. That was at least a decade ago though.
