Mark Wolfe Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oooh, that's kick ass! I'm definitely going to get one if possible. It really is cool and for $30 sum bucks you can't beat it.

+remowilliams Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Seriously? Ooh, that's good news. Any idea where I could procure one? IIRC one of the 'multisystem' type DIN cables should work, like this one. I think a TI99 composite cable will work as well, though I'd have to verify that. Also, IIRC the Vic carries +12V on one of the video port lines (meant to power a RF converter) so don't hook that one to your TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) @jessragan: ebay has 'em all the time for like 4 or 5 bucks. look for a 5 pin version, same as on the Atari 800XL @crazyclimber: vic-20 has never been so easy to find these days. hell, I have one I can trade if you want. it's boxed even.

I still need to put mine in a case though. read my first post.... the contact website is linked above I am uncertain why you directed me to contact Francois. I already have the cart. I just hadn't placed mine inside a case yet. I just rectified that though, minutes ago. It now resides inside an extra copy of Avenger that I had. I figured that I had procrastinated long enough.

That link you gave for a cable is pretty high priced. I see them all the time for half that. Whomever is looking, just do a basic search on ebay for 'commodore video cable' and you'll find one for cheaper, just be sure it's 5 pin.

eightbit Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have to bump this for a GREAT developer that still makes them I received two of these today and I have to say that if you have a Vic-20 and don't have one of these you are doing yourself a disservice! I don't want to publicly post the developer's email address, but if you want one PM me and I will pass it along. Really nice guy and really really great product and he has encouraged me to let others know that these are still being manufactured and sold. This thing had me consumed with Vic games half of the night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eslapion Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I am eslapion and I have restarted production of the Behr-Bonz multicart. I have about 30 units available. Complete information: New lower price - 36$US or 32.50 Euros!The printed circuit boards have arrived in Montreal.There is a new menu in the Behr-Bonz cart.A friendly menu for the friendly computer!Thank you e5frog ! Up/Down cursor keys to browse, or F1 and F7, select with Return. Browsning can also be done with joystick up/down + fire.Quick select using key 1-8 then choose game with lettered keysaccording to column on the right.This cartridge designed for your Commodore VIC-20 computer comprises 127 games, all of which were originally published as game cartridges between 1981 and 1984. No additional expansion is required to play them, except a joystick and, depending on the game, a pair of paddles.The new Behr-Bonz will be slightly different from the Original with a new color in the menu and a button to reset to menu without the need to turn your VIC-20 off and on.The Behr-Bonz multicart circuit board is exactly the same physical size as a Commodore made game cartridge so it can fit in the plastic case of a game you already own (4.5 x 9 cm). No plastic case is provided.Just like original Commodore cartridges it uses gold plating to protect your cartridge port connector and for the longest possible lifespan. It is protected by a 90 day money back guarantee. Please note that out of the 100 original units made in 2008, not a single one was found to be defective nearly 7 years after their initial release.-The price per unit of the Behr-Bonz multicart is 36$US or 32.50 Euros. Quantity discounts are available on quantities of 5 units or more.-Shipping to the US is 10$US, Australia, South America, all EU countries and Canada is 12$US or 11 Euros - shipping cost is the same wether you order 1 or up to 7 units.- YOU MUST SPECIFY WETHER YOU WANT A PAL OR NTSC VERSION - if this information is not specified then I will determine it myself according to the video standard available in the country of the shipping addressIf you are interested, just send an e-mail indicating how many you would like to purchase to eslapion(aT)videotron.ca with the subject "Behr-Bonz purchase".You will be added to a mailing list and informed - DO NOT PM ME HERE!E-mails coming from unknown e-mail addresses with any other subjects will be deleted by the spam filter.There is at least 3 improvements to the original cart: - A "reset to menu" button. The original cart would send you back to the selected game when resetting the VIC because of the way it "locks" to the selected game to prevent games who write gibberrish in the IO2/IO3 region from causing problems. - Improved PAL version menu colors. The colors of the menu are white text on black background and a blue border. This is an indication the version is 2015.- Games can now be accessed quickly by pressing numbers 1 to 8 then the associated letterFAQ:* How do I disable the Behr-Bonz ?Presently, if you want to return to BASIC startup without disconnecting the cartridge, just press '6' then press 'K' from the menu.This actually selects one of the Scott Adams game but if you never start the game, you're effectively disabling the Behr-Bonz and falling back to an unexpanded VIC.* How do I jump directly to my favorite game without having to scroll hundreds of titles ?Press numbers 1 to 8 then press the letter associated with your favorite game. All games can be accessed quickly by pressing one number then one letter. Edited August 31, 2018 by eslapion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It looks like the latest batch sold out in 2019. There is a cart on eBay right now for the LOLWUT price of $144 which is nearly five times the original price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
