Title: ROMplus ROMBOX from Britannia
Post by: Joss on 20:56, 19 September 12
Hi!
A ROMplus ROMBOX from Britannia is being announced at Ebay Germany. Does anybody knows something about it? I found in cpcwiki ( Britannia ROM Board - CPCWiki (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Britannia_ROM_Board) ) a reference to it, but no photos or schematic can be found there. It looks very simple ..... and is only for 464 and 664 .... I don't know why  ::)
I was asking the bidder and it looks like there isn't much information about it in I-net


@Gryzor: perhaps the photos from ebay can be used to complete the information here ......


P.S.: I am busy with my keyboard project .... but I think after it I will begin with a Rombox ...... sorry if I make too many "noob" comments .....

Well, this romboard takes 16 KB EPROMs, so therefore you have 15 slots (0-15, except 7). With the right cable you can use it with a 6128 too.

However I assume that the collectors will outbit you here. Better get a MegaFlash (provides 32 ROM slots, is tiny and 2012 technology  ;) )

I am the second bid, and I will try to get it.

Hi,


So it's Y O U   that has outbid me  :o ? ? ?


Well, it doesn't matter all to much, as I guess it's go for a much higher price than I'll ever bother paying for it.
(Bryce's MegaFlash is much neater and smaller, and more reliable)
My wild estimate says it'll go for something in the region of 100-200 EUR, or even higher ! ! !


Yours

(english: good luck! ; spanish: suerte chato!  :D )
I find it "nice-to-have"  but the a high price will take me out of the bid ..... I think .....
I think it could be cloned easily ....  but not by me, by someone smarter ....

I have seen, the auction was closed and thinking it was sold before the end of it but the owner told me the auction was closed and renewed to allow international bidder:
