Now I wish I was not broke !

That 32X manual seems really interesing, and would save me lots of time as I intend to delayer the PCB and get full schematic and pinouts of all the chips... bit these manuals have full schematics and pinouts !

I'll be on the megadrive 1 and accessories
Of course, will be scanned right after I receive them (if I receive them)

I open my paypal for anyone who want to help me

Looks like a few sega forums (sega16 & sms power) are trying to coordinate things to buy them.

Take care of not being in competition between you guys, try to discuss about who take what ;)

Yeah, before I make a bid on the 32X manuals, I'll see if there's a group effort I would contribute toward.

Needless to say, if I did bid on and win the 32X manuals, I'd certainly scan them.

wow! thanks foobat!

of course, I won't bid on what omp will bid
I'll make it clear with him on what I should bid or not


but a bad news : these manuals are duplicate not original...so do they deserve the value he's asking for ?

depends on the content and how much time it will save people starting new projects on the hardware in the future. Are you buying the manual or the content?

I see your point...
you're right...but why 100$ for this invaluable MCD1 service manual ?!!! :cry:

I know..answer is on the question ... "invaluable" ;)

I'm not sure who is coordinating things, but there are donation site links in this thread, I think (not sure) omp set them up:

The 32X and GG manuals seem the most interesting, IMO.

yep, omp set them
He is current focused on SMS2 / GG stuff it seems
He'll bid on more item if he got enought funds

I'll myself will send you money I receive to increase the funds if he needs it.

About what's the most important, anyone has his opinion ;)
SMSPower thinks its SMS, SaturnForum thinks about the Saturn stuff and I think MCD Tray 1 is the n°1 (but I'll bid on MD1 if I had to do it myself because it"s too pricey)

Again a week, things can change a lot..I'll see how it evolves
