Hmm...Not sure if this a true "One-OFF".
ReplyDeleteI actually own one of these by BHE, I call it the
"D-vader 64". Exactly as one shown BUT a later revision that has the synthCart PCB built INTO
the C64's body.
With a 3 way switch as synth/off/C64 there is a bit of oddness with the switching and the cartridge port being brutally tight.
Unfortunately trying to view any modern program for the 64 on a 30" 720p LCD monitor
(ex Prophet64) proved impossible due to text being tiny and indecipherable through RCA out.
One thing that kind of soured the experience was support from BHE, they answered a whopping total of 1 question then proceeded to ignore me...lol
