Well if you make a few prototypes Cpu, I'm sure you can sell around 20 of them instantly here and at DP for a nice markup :)

oh, and put me down for one, I always like to make more work for you ;)

I may be wrong... but I seem to remember Kevtris(creator of Kevtris for the colecovision) speaking about a Coleco multicart he had made on IRC a while ago... or was it the Intellivision. :? Anyway, he's always on #rgvc on EFNET, usually at night. I guess someone could ask him :P

Kevtris sure did have a Coleco Multicart, but I don't think he ever sold any -- I think it was just for himself. It had a nice menu system too.

I don't need a cuttle for the CV, as I have the ADAM cart copy program! :D

I have just about all CV carts on Floppy or Datapack!

What did it take to make this and how available are the parts?

Cool, now if you could just get a close up scan of the other side of the board then I can rip off your design... I mean admire your handywork. :D

Selling these could give you some business for a long time. Do you have a price in mind or is this a one shot deal?

I wouldn't count on mass produced cart CPU made. That looks like a plain vanilla EPROM emulator board attached to a CV EPROM board. Such emulator can set you back a hundred or so.

That is indeed very cool, complete with a custom label. :) I'm sure CPUWIZ would make these on demand for those willing to pay.

Hmmm... I wonder what potential uses that could have on the ADAM...

If you decide to market these CPU, I'll take one. I have a laptop I have nothing better to do with than use to upload files to cuttle devices now. I'm even considering a Supercharger mod now. :D

I just thought of a use on the ADAM. It would make it easier to burn the images to floppy disk. Previously you had to put the cart in, boot into basic, and run the cart copy program. power down when done, and repeat. With this, you could easily copy them all in one go.

I wonder if there's a way to get such a device working with the ADAM supergames.
