I scored a Roland MT-32 MIDI Synth Module cheap today from Fleabay!
I've wanted one of these ever since Sierra started supporting them in their Quest Series of Games! :D

I dunno how many games support MIDI, let alone MT-32, but I know the Sierra titles do, and I expect LucasArts games do too. You'll have to get an RS-232 to MIDI converter, but otherwise it's dead simple to set up.
I bought a Compaq Armada 1700 laptop from electronics recycling center store. The one in picture is not the exact unit but similar. Mine's a lot dirtier. :lol:
It powered up and at least booted Win98 to some point. Going to have to see if it has enough guts to run XP. It does have Pentium II which is the absolute minimum to run XP. Don't know about the memory though. Needs a thorough cleaning too.
This was absolutely positively definitely the cheapest solution to my need of writing disk images on real floppies as it comes with a floppy drive. It also has a serial port so I'll be able to use it with my OBD-II interface. I'll also install my Saab workshop manuals on it. :)

I bagged a stock, still sealed German a500 with KS1.2 cheap on fleabay for my KCS Power PC Board today. :D
Now trying to decide if I buy another CF-IDE68k or get a HxC for it. :D
ACA 1232 + Indi ECS :cool:
Got this through from Brian, just got to carve up the case on my a1200....
couldn't quite afford the Sean Kelly 60-in-1 Vectrex MultiCart so i picked up this 32-in-1 Vectrom for about 1/3 the price instead.
appears to contain all the games that were originally commercially released for the Vectrex anyways (save for the games that used the 3D imager and AnimAction, and Minestorm as well (which is built in to the Vectrex anyways))
but also has:
Pong (kinda like breakout, but no blocks to destroy)
Patriots (Missile Command clone)
Vector Vaders (Space Invaders Clone)
Nebula Commander (kinda like 2 Death Stars duking it out)
and
Tour de France (unreleased prototype)
Clean Sweep and Mr. Boston are both included and the same game (i believe) so really a 31-in-1
cart is not menu-driven and games are instead chosen by 6 dip-switches, a little bit of an annoyance, but oh well.
Can't wait to play it!
