@adespoton Delta Tao updated and published the original Dark Castle as well when they got the rights to do Color Dark Castle.

I think a lot of Japanese games are packaged that way, especially Sharp and MSX games. I really like that alternate artwork on the front cover. Would love a scan when you get around to it just to recreate it pixel-for-pixel.

Sweet!

@zefrenchtoon Wow, that's pretty cool. Is the game itself in Japanese? I'm sure it'd be great to put the scans up on Macintosh Garden.

Hard to say the price. Seem to go for between $500 to $700, but there are a LOT of fake auctions right now that are multiple bots selling the exact same item from Japan for a stupidly inflated price that might affect the sale price. They're fantastic accelerators, especially for a IIci. Your...

They're not hard (mechanically.) It's just that the grease likes to harden and crystalize. It's a lot of physical work to safely loosen up the grease. I just used IPA. * Edit: I just found out that "crystalize" is spelled four different ways: crystalize, crystallize, crystalise, and...

I'd love to get a copy of Warlock.

Their exact reply was, "Maybe but not sure when i will get them." So who knows.

@KennyPowers I just messaged the seller on eBay. They said they might still have access to the machine from where they pulled the adapter and upgrades. Hopefully they'll keep in contact and let me know. :)

@KennyPowers Hmm. I wonder if the seller has the rest of the machines still?

Awesome!

Hmm. I wonder if a Radius Rocket would make for an overpriced and over-engineered MP3 player.

FYI: Sun also used a 13W3 cable that was not pin compatible with Apple's 13W3. So even with an switch adapter, it won't work.

I don't know, but I would think not, considering it requires a dry cleaning disk versus the traditional cleaning disk with a wet solution. Maybe gently with just a q-tip, but no IPA?

Nice work, and thanks for the writeup. Will be useful to others. That monitor is way more complicated than I expected. It's a whole computer in there.

The problem is that the Imation Dry Cleaning Disk you need to clean the head is pretty rare and hard to find. Unfortunately you can't use a regular floppy cleaning disk, it'll damage the drive. You could try contact this seller and see if they'll part with just the cleaning disk...

With how fast it was, I wonder if it could have just done multiple passes to simulate variable speed.

That rung a bell in my head when you asked that. I looked back in the AppleSauce Discord because I had this feeling that I actually asked that question once, and apparently I did some time ago. Disk Blitz said he's actually looking into adding USB support to the AppleSauce and supporting the...

@adespoton I'll give that a try, thanks. I wonder if that has anything to do with the plastic bag trick with credit cards? If you have a card that's having trouble reading, run it through the mag reader with a plastic bag over it. For some reason the static from the bag makes the card easier...

Do you have a Commodore calculator and Commodore typewriter to complete the setup? :)
