Sharp X68000 XVI inbound (tomorrow...)

[trixster]

Amazing find! I’d love to get an 030 for my XVI!

They are easier to find here in Japan, but prices are often steep at the end of the auctions.

Hi HigashiJun,

Btw a question:
Is your oscillator 5V powered for sure or maybe is it 3,3V version?
TTL or CMOS - it doesn't matter. Masterclock should be buffered anyway.

@tOriman

The oscillator is 5V, like the original one.

Hi,

@tOriman

The oscillator is 5V, like the original one.

I just asked because in the designations of oscillators it is often just one character that differentiates the versions. It would be a shame if it did a KABOOM when powered up!

Cheers

Yes, that would be not funny at all...

And a nice arcade stick has just arrived:

Cleaned it a bit and enjoyed playing Final Fight and Street Fighter (with 2 buttons only).

The Behringer mixer should reach me by tomorrow, as it's already on its way.

Guess I have to wait next month before buying the Roland sound canvas...

Very nice indeed, looks like a good stick.

Very nice indeed, looks like a good stick.

Yes, love its looks.

If I'm not wrong, it was the best arcade stick you could get for the X68000.

The MSX version is hard to get and prices are quite insane those days.

Yes, I can well imagine, a lot of sticks died mechanically and we were in a time where broken stuff just went in the bin.
