derSammler<p>Just wanted to quickly clean and test a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> 1541 Floppy Disk Drive in order to sell it (since I own too many of these) and was not prepared to find what's inside. This is some serious modification. Anyone ever seen something like this? It has a switch tacked away on the left side to select between "slow" and "fast" (as can be seen from the German writing on the white bar). But what does it actually do and how? There is no additional interface, so it is not a parallel speeder or anything. The ROM seems to be original as well.</p><p>Might this be to get the drive working at full speed when connected to a VIC-20, maybe?</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>
Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>Data-East/Sega Version 3B platform is an interesting beast. When Data-East first came up with a pinball machine that had a dot matrix display, their approach was to make the display board an autonomous thing that just listened for commands from the CPU board. All the animations and stuff are run locally.</p><p>The original one had a 6809 on it like the main CPU board has too, but when they went from 128x16 and 128x32 displays to the huge 192x64, they needed a bit more muscle to handle it.</p><p>So the new version of the display board runs with a 68000. In a lot of animations the difference is pretty noticeable with the huge framerate increase and all kinds of creative transitions between the animations.</p><p>4 games were released with this platform: Maverick, Frankenstein, Batman Forever and Baywatch. It was in production for less than a year, from fall 1994 to summer 1995.</p><p>After that Sega downgraded back to 128x32 displays and a 6809 CPU.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinball</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retro</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/motorola68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorola68000</span></a></p>
