Yes, I read about the risk of weakening the plastics and yellowing could come back after some time. I wasn't sure about doing it on the IM-2 but...
Yes, I'll start with one of the APF IM-1
Well, I'm not planning on keeping 3 of those, they're huge! At some point I will sell at least one of them. When I have time to open, test them...
Yup, as I stated, nothing much interesting in the first 3 ones apart from the keyboard version. I just remember I posted something about it on...
There are hundreds of famiclones where I live so it's hard to keep track of them, I purchased most of them coz they were dirt cheap, I needed some...
Thanks ;) I saw the new thread, my archives folder is a big mess but I'll try to contribute, thought most of the gray hardwares I've been...
Thanks retro, that was actually my plan ;)
Here you go, I present you the unreleased, undocumented and pretty much completely unkown APF Imagination Machine II :[ATTACH] As you can see on...
You're right brPariah, some local companies reversed engineered hardwares and probably some even manufactured those clone locally, hence the...
You'd be even more surprised at how many videogaming items I've came across in 13 years living in Asia you wouldn't find much info about or even a...
Hehe, I give you a few more hints: no pic of it...at least in color, is available on internet. Officially it was never released so either it is a...
Lol ya, they would deserve a good retrobright. Luckily those were made in USA with hard thick plastics. Now here comes the teaser, sorry for the...
Thanks, that's not all of it, I'm saving the masterpiece for later ;)
Thanks for the info, the pic is hosted on a Google gallery so there must be some rights issue, weird... here I reupload it[ATTACH]
Not much, as most clones, but you don't see them often outside of Asia. Actually I came across one at a flea market but it was in such a bad...
Hard to score one of those... How about a hat trick? ;) [IMG] They're yellowed but seem quite in good condition, maybe never used and put in...
It's actually quite a common clone in Asia. I believe it was made in Taiwan, like most clones of this era. Here's an alternate version: [ATTACH]...
You can boot up without RAM. I find it odd that you need to move a jumper to get it working, unless you remember having done something with it in...
Have you tried to boot without the floppy unit, just with the base of the MGH? I get the bootup screen with mine.
I don't think you can fry the FDD unit as there's a protection diode. Even if it wasn't there, the 7805 and the caps would blow before anything...
Separate names with a comma.
