I was feeling left out with all these collection threads, so I thought I'd post a little Jaggy stuff There's also a big version of the pic at http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~nb104/images/jagkits-big.jpg if anyone wants to look a little bit more closely. [with apologies for the watermark] On the right is my modified retail Jag (50/60Hz switch, and a BIOS switch to flick between development and retail BIOSes) with a retail CD drive and a 2MB Alpine board; in the middle is a prototype JagCD with Jeff Minter's old 4MB Alpine in it, and to the left is another prototype JagCD with a prototype 2MB Alpine. In front is a Procontroller and one of the official flash carts, with a parallel port sticking out the front Stone
Dam, there some beefy PCB's. Wouldn't take those out in a strong wind, the whole thing would topple over. Unrelated sidenote: I see you're at southampton doing something electronics-y. I'm applying there for elec eng for 06 entry!
I'm a bit worried they're going to charge off my bed and assault my Supergun, actually They're actually really unstable. Especially on the proto (as it has no cart shell) it's fairly precarious when you hit the buttons on top, or attach the parallel cable... Good stuff Well, I'll be in the third year by then [if they don't throw me out...] so I might see you in the department or something Stone
Cool stuff Stone, I love the left one. Is it just the case missing on the Alpine or is there other differences with it. Nice 4mb in the middle! Did it come with that one? I thought all the protos had 2mb when they first started making them? Do you have the butch interface card for them as well? Not the external Falcon connector one, but the one that plugs into the second cartridge port on the CD player. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Only the Alpine is definitely his, the rest came from elsewhere. He didn't want it any more *shrug* Have a closer look All the DIP chips are socketed, and all of the possible chip/capacitor spaces are populated, unlike the other two. Also it's got a dark green soldermask (just bare copper tracks on all other Alpines), a different switch manufacturer to most of the others (I sold one that had similar black switches, and the caps next to them populated). Nope, that's Yak's 4MB. One of my proto JagCDs didn't come with an Alpine. Neither of them have a seperate Butch chip; they've only one cart port each. Basically they're slightly-modified versions of the retail PCB, with no case, no BIOS and hand-numbered revision on the bottom Stone
