Who wants a cheap x68000?
Original model with 2mb ram (1mb onboard, 1mb internal expansion)
No cables, no keyboard, no video adapter. I'll throw in copies of the disks for Dracula (seen running in the pics)
All I have done to this one is replace the SRAM battery, everything else is still original (including the power supply) It runs fine, but I suspect at some point you'll want to do something with the power supply. Though these power supplies don't seem to fail as much as the "tetris block" power supplies in the ace/expert/xvi/030 models. Bottom line, I've got too many x68000s to fix up and I'd rather spend my time on the newer units. I'll be happy to try and answer any repair questions down the road, but I don't have time to offer repair services later. There is a lot of documentation etc available at nfg games / gamesx.com should you need help down the road.
Asking $150 + shipping. Its cheap because its as is and its 26 years old.
If you want an original keyboard with it add $60.

Grab an xpc4 and you can watch it on anything! Of course the xpc will cost 40k...
-
Judging from the pics, it works with a standard PC keyboard and monitor?
Hmmmm......

Sorry if that's a stupid question, the only stuff I know about X68000 is what you guys talk about in the chat room, and I forgot most of it.

1. No, totally custom
2. Yes with most VGA CRTs, but you will need an adapter.

I thought I already replied once. My issue is time. I dont like to take in x68000s for repair since I dont want to sit on peoples machines for a long period of time. Shoot me a pm again describing the issue you are having.
-
Is that my old unit?
Yes sir, I installed another original power supply I had from another OG model that had a bad mainboard.

Glad to see it's back to life. Someone please give her a good home.

which games do run ok on the machine and which do not so much?
-
Most will run fine. 16mhz is really only needed for the later games like Super SFII, Mahou Dai, Geograph Seal. The biggest annoyance with the older machines is that they are SASI, not SCSI.
-
If I come into enough money here soon, I may be tempted to jump on this. There are a lot of games I really want to play for the X68k!
-
Both systems are on hold for now :) Ill probably have more sometime soon.
-
I just subscribed to Retro Gamer Magazine and the x68000 is repeated listed as "Japan's best gaming secret" and every time they do the run down of various games the x6800 ports is listed as the best.
Maybe I should start taking this thing more seriously...

This is so true!

Yes you should :D

If you get a rig that can play all games and also ensure I will have access to some games, I am in.
PM me if this is an option, I will pay a fair price for your troubles :)
