Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Palmerston North.
I once came across a
New
Zealand website supporting the SC3000H, probably
yours, yes?
Nope, the site's not mine - I'm completely unfamiliar with the Sega line of
home computers, though I am pretty familiar with the game console lines. I
used to have a fairly comprehensive collection of Sega games and consoles,
all gone now. Well, I still have a Genesis CDX and a Genesis Nomad and
games for them, but even those have to go.
The SC3000 is practically identical to the SC1000 game console, but that
doesn't help me much; it was one system I never owned. One main reason I'm
wanting to get the 3000 sorted out is that it's in such fantastic condition
otherwise; has its original box, is pretty much flawless cosmetically, has
lots of accessories. I don't want to sell it not working because it's
likely it won't be of much value to anyone that way, so may not be cared
for well. If I fix it, I think it's likely to be treated a lot better. I'm
really quite keen on helping preserve this stuff for the future, even if I
no longer feel I can do that by providing much storage space for it!
Have you subscribed to the forums at
http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/forums/index.php ? It gets a little
bit of activity these days and is a great way to network with others
interested
in this old iron who live within affordable shipping
distances! (-:
No, I haven't - I really should. I often find the politics/bitchiness that
goes on in forums to be a bit off-putting though. For some reason, I don't
find it bothers me nearly as much on mailing lists. I should join anyway,
even if I only lurk!
