    They get your prints when you get a state issued ID of any kind in most, if not all, states anyway.

     

    Wow, that's just insane. They don't take your prints in Washington for an ID card, so I think I'll just stay here where I still have a couple of freedoms.

     

    As far as I am aware, the only states that require fingerprints to get a drivers license or ID card are California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Texas and West Virginia. I sure hope that no other states follow.

    IIRC there's a known issue on the Commodore 64 involving some sort of short that can burn out a chip, so don't use Genesis controllers on a C64 (not sure about Master System controllers).

     

     

    Can anyone absolutely verify this? Is there a work around?

     

    It is true. I would not use Genesis controllers on the C64 unless you wish to burn out your CIA chip. It isn't a given that it will happen, but there is a huge strain on the chip when keyboard and joystick are in use concurrently, which has a good chance of frying the chip.

    I have a couple NIB and a couple CIB Microvisions and all 11 games NIB and a few CIB.

     

    I have three loose units that I have not tested, the screens may be good on them... if they are I'd sell em for $8 each + shipping if anyone wants me to test them.

     

    The Microvision was my first handheld electronic game. I saved for quite some time to get one back in 1979. 9v batteries were expensive and they only last about an hour in a Microvision, so I charged the neighborhood kids between 25-50 cents to play with it. :D

    Just won commodore sx-64 in really good shape. I have been wanting one for awhile to add to the collection, but usually go for hefty price. Anyone on the forums own one? what has been your experience good or bad. I have c-64 too, but haven't got but 1 game for it, but now getting the sx-64 has gotten me wanting to get more games. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

     

     

    I have four (two CIB) and a spare parts unit to keep mine running. It is my hands down all time favorite computer in the history of the seven known universes! A self contained portable color Commodore 64!

     

    When I am running it at home I hook it up to my big-screen TV(since it ies easier to see than the 5") but on the road at parties, vintage tech conventions and friends houses I use the little built in 5" color monitor. It is the ultimate gaming machine and by hooking up a 1541 external drive to it, you can duplicate disks for your buddies straight from the built in disk drive (no more swapping read and write disks 32 zillion times to copy).

     

    I have a trillion or so (ok fine, about 25) extra C64 game cartridges, and a few disk based games, I can let go for cheap (or trade for) so you can have fun with your SX-64. I even ran a BBS off of one of mine.

     

    My brother still has the original one we bought back in the 80's.

     

    You will not be disappointed with that little (big) gem!
