PC-1600 with VFD mod

via Mark

"Here's my PC-1600 upgraded with version 2 software and a vacuum fluorescent display. This is a very easy mod to do. I did go to the trouble of gluing a grey gel filter to the inside of the clear window using optical glue. That step is optional, but these displays look a lot better with a dark filter in front of them. This VFD is Newhaven part number M0220SD-202SDAR1-1G. Arrives ready to install, no soldering necessary.

For those who are using the PC-1600, or are curious about it, I highly, highly recommend Jason Romney's PC-1600v, an OSX based emulator and preset editor that for me has completely unlocked the power of this excellent device. Check it out at http://cd-romney.com/pc-1600v/"
