Hi there ,
I have a fully functional system including community , national,
ecodisk,volcanos and the countryside disks. It has taken me some time to
get this up and running and would concur with the thoughts re transport.
The lv rom is 43*40*16 cm and is very heavy and fragile I would not like
to carry this on even if allowed . You also need a bbc master including
the second processor and scsi interface card again fragile items to pack
then you come to the disk packs the standard package is large and heavy
approx 34*34*6. I think the cost of transporting would be prohibitive
and the risk of damage huge.
Regards graeme

The players are pretty big - about four times the size
of a DVD player
(at least), not to mention quite heavy (for what they
are). I doubt
they'd be allowed on as carry-on luggage.
It's the vibration I'd be bothered about rather than any temperature
issue though. The quality of the solder work on all the players I've
been inside is about the worst I've seen on any electronic equipment,
I never even considered temperatures, I'm simply thinking of how
non-carryon luggage is treated. You don't want some idiot deciding to
see how far into the pile the box can be thrown.
As for the size, it doesn't look that much larger than a standard
Laserdisc player (though it looks a little thicker than most).
Zane
