Intelligentleman Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Just opened it up... Looks almost brand new. Unfortunately, a tiny spring fell out of the cassette drive... Eek!

Guess I'll just have to set all this up and test it out! Possible that little spring is unrelated to the device. Box was open, after all. Who knows for how long...

Intelligentleman Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Almost forgot... This really rounds out the computer ? Super high quality product BTW, if you're considering these carts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rietveld Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just turn on the computer with the cart plugged in and press 'V' to load the demo cassette. Those games use the keyboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for now, that Aquaricart has more than enough content for me to play with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can load them from your phone using the CASS cable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Is it weird that I'm excited to open my copy of FILEFORM? I find the packaging and copy to be fascinating, if not particularly good at explaining wtf this program ultimately does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Congrats! Looks minty. A suggestion on the Data Recorder: be sure to remove and replace the belt associated with the counter. They are prone to failure due to age and can lead to a sticky mess if you try to run it with an original. Here's an example. "Loom bands" are a cheap replacement that work perfectly. You can get a 500-600 pack of 'em for $4-5 shipped. About 499-599 more bands than you need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
