Danish NC100 ob DBA.DK

robcfg · 23:21, 29 November 11

Hi everybody!

CpcManiaco brought this to my attention: http://www.dba.dk/andet-maerke-amstrad-nc100/id-78394980/

I didn't knew that there was a Danish NC100 and it would be nice to get it, scan it, scan its PCB, dump the rom for the MESS emulator...

So, could any of our danish fellows here help me get it? Obviously I'd pay the item, the shipping within Denmark AND the shipping to Spain.

Please, please, pleeeeeeeease!

110 euros... ouch.

Very interesting, that they should produce a special edition for such a niche machine, for such a small market...

mr_lou · 13:23, 30 November 11

It seems rather expensive.

I've often thought about trying out one of these, but never been able to find any "usefulness" for me. Unlike the CPC which can be used for many interesting and fun stuff, I can't spot anything fun or interesting to do with an NC100....

robcfg · 15:01, 30 November 11

I do agree is rather expensive, but then again I haven't seen any other like this one.

Anyone with a DBA.DK account willing to help me?

Edit: I forgot! I can have it sent to Germany too as this Christmas I'll be visiting my grandmother. Maybe it's cheaper....

Well I'm in Denmark. I've just sent the seller an SMS bidding a lower price.

robcfg · 17:23, 30 November 11

Many thanks!

If you manage to arrange a deal with the seller, tell me and I'll transfer you the money. Then we can talk about sending it out of Denmark

Actually a lucrative market : corporates guys who need such device.

mr_lou · 19:59, 30 November 11

I got it for 78 euro including shipment. Already transferred the money to seller, so now waiting for it to arrive. Will probably take at least a week, since he'll be waiting for the money to arrive before sending and such.
Looking forward to checking it out. Have always been curious about these, though doubtful I'd find it interesting. Nice to be able to take a look at one without actually buying it.

robcfg · 22:04, 30 November 11

Wow, Thanks so much!

Take your time to check it out, I'm in no hurry

When the package arrives and you can ask for the postage either to Spain or Germany, tell me and I'll send you the money right away. Of course, if you prefer that I send you the money you already paid, I'm a private message away.

Ohhhh, I'm quite happy today! First this, and then I got a couple of games in which I worked on.

One stone, two Amstrad enthusiasts. Yay

Cholo · 18:36, 01 December 11

Good you got it down in price

800 dkr was waaaay to much (still ive seen worse too).

mr_lou · 13:10, 07 December 11

The NC100 has arrived, and I've tested it briefly.
Everything is in danish, not just the keys, but also all programs and instruction manual.

Where should I send it?

robcfg · 14:56, 07 December 11

Nice!

I'm sending you a PM.

Thank you very much!

Don't worry! You'll have my nice 300dpi scans of the unit, the PCB and also the ROM dumps. Eventually the manual will be scanned too

Gryzor · 18:59, 07 December 11

300dpi? Pfffft!
Just kidding - thanks!

Bryce · 23:36, 07 December 11

Do you have a scanner? You can get some pretty good images of small PCBs by scanning it

Although I would be very suprised if the hardware was any different than the standard NC board. Other than the ROM Image and the Symbols on the keys it should be identical.

Bryce.

robcfg · 00:31, 08 December 11

Indeed I expect no surprise, but there's always room for surprise.

The nice bit there is obviously the rom content. Soon on the CPCWiki and the MESS emulator

robcfg · 15:53, 13 December 11

Hi, folks!

My mother has kindly informed me that the Danish NC100 has safely arrived in Germany

Thank you very much, Mr. Lou!

mr_lou · 16:17, 13 December 11

Anytime.

It was nice to have an opportunity to check it out for myself.

Nilquader · 11:40, 14 January 12

Have you already dumped the ROM? I would love test it on an emulator...

robcfg · 15:53, 14 January 12

Yes, you can get them in the downloads section of the nc series page.

They are now officialy supported in the latest version of MESS.
