PC Engine development system - Hudson Soft C62 development unit

Where do you keep all this stuff?

 

Thanks for showing us this! Nice unit!!!

 

Love that stacked style. Thing of beauty really.

 

WOW! That is an amazing piece of development hardware, and the first I've seen of it. I wonder how many of these Hudson made, and furthermore how many are still surviving today... would love to have one, when I hit the lotto I'll make you an offer hehe!

Thanks so much for sharing, can't wait for a vid of the SuperGrafx kit.

 

:lol:, thanks for the vid though

 

Thanks for showing us! Much appreciated.

 

Damn, Assy. That's a rad bee tower you've got there. How much was it? Considering to sell it?

 

The "processor" on the bottom board is really just a programmable peripheral interface (6 bidirectional parallel ports) which is probably controlled by the NEC's parallel port. There is 1 megabyte of RAM (made up of 32 x 256K x 1 bit SRAM chips), so 256K, 512K, 768K, 1024K straightforwardly refers to the first 2M, 4M, 6M, then full 8M decoded to the HuCard address space. Effectively the complete system is a glorified ROM emulator, but without direct external access to the RAM so the bottom board must provide a loader program (and maybe some debug stuff too). I guess the front button simultaneously selects which board is active (so you could have 4 EPROM or 3 RAM boards since they are volatile) and resets console.

Weren't they like $300 each?

 

Nice unit Thanks for sharing the video very interesting

 

So you got more of 'em, and each for US$1400 each?
