thougt i share some pictures of the 3do m2 dev system first pictures are of the sealed system and documents, last are from the cdrom drive i didnt unpack the actual 3do m2 dev card and the cdrom emu card but will do that in a few days also (photos also =) also there are a bunch of cables and a cd with the toolkit and a 3.5" floppy with the cdrom emu driver which i havent unpacked also (damn iam a lazy guy) oh and sorry oldengineer and tachikoma i still hadnt enought time to do that postage thing but heres a little peek on what i meant
Wow, what a beautiful sight, thanks for sharing m8... ...And my oh my god you got an awful lot of reading to catch up on looking at those manuals!!!! Enjoy
zappenduster: i wish the M2 became commercial because i liked that console it is a beuty among many diamonds damn pretty
it looks nice but the technically side may be a big failure from what i have gathered on infos about the powerpc 602 its no really the cpu you would like to have in a console (at least not in 1996) but we will see when i get my new mac where the board fits, in the mean time i can only post some of the old pictures maybe this afternoon (have to get a webserver ready for the site)
This reminded me of the episode of The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror X: Desperately Seeking Xena. Comic Book Guy is a supervillain called The Collector. Lucy Lawless is dressed up as Xena, and he captured her. There is a fight scene, in which he reaches for his double ended lightsabre..... Hehehe.
at a item like this which is still worth a lot of money you just HAVE to decide if you are a collector or if you are a curiously user and want to know anything in my case iam just a lazy guy and unpack everything very slowly =)
It is a tough one, isn't it? Leave it and don't use it, or try to use it - although the point of that is minimal, as it is a dev kit for a machine that doesn't exist!! Does its output work on the kiosk machines?
what kiosk machines ? in somedays ill think i get a mac where the whole stuff fits in so maybe we see the first moving pictures of a running 3do m2 dev from what i have read in the documents it should at least be able to get that thing play videocds (ok pretty expensive vcd player) :-D
If I ever have a large sum of money which I had to spend on development hardware, an M2 dev kit would be what I'd spend it on. There's always something special about hardware/software that was never released to me.
That is a pretty nice item to have in the collection. Will you actually try and use it for anything as can u just for home brew stuff. And def brain overload with the manuals
i am already on the hunt for a fitting mac and got some more software gathered so i definatly will try to power it up more infos should come next week right now iam pretty bussy with my normal work
check the ebay threads my price was pretty close to the ebay prices btw. i think there where already 3 or 4 more sold, one for 2500$ fastbuy
