Commerce
Overview
A rather grand title, but there's not much here, I added the "Commerce"
button to the menu banner to provide a quick way to get to the few retro
computer bits & pieces that I have for sale, ranging from components for
my Memotech computers to some add-on devices for Memotech and PET
computers.
I am not a dealer or trader in any form other than as a private eBay
buyer & seller, there isn't a fancy web shop or on-line ordering
facility - given the tiny quantity of items that I sell, there's no
justification for that, "orders" or enquiries should be sent by
e-mail.

Components for MTX Computers
As a user of Memotech computers I have needed to source some
very old components, quite often requiring purchasing in larger
quantities than I need in order to make them economic. This
means that I have a limited number of components that I don't
envisage using that I am making available to others who may be
interested. |

SDIP-64 to Breadboard Adapter
MTXPlus+
uses a Yamaha V9958 Video Display Processor, this device uses a
Shrink-DIP
64 package. To allow the VDP to be installed on a standard
breadboard or prototype board, I had some adapters made and have
a few extras for sale. |

Commodore PET/CBM EPROM Adapter
PETs make extensive use of 2532 EPROMs which are not
supported by many modern day EPROM programmers. This adapter
allows a 2532 to be programmed in a device that supports 2732
EPROMs. |

Commodore PET/CBM Multi-ROM
Board
Designed by Steve Gray, this board allows a single Option or
character ROM socket in a PET/CBM to be loaded with any one of
16 available ROM image files, selectable by DIP switch |

The Good Stuff |
Commodore PET/CBM |
petSD+
A petSD is a modern mass storage solution for Commodore PETs
with an IEEE-488-bus. It can be used instead of and alongside
vintage floppy disk drives. The petSD makes file sharing between
the PET and the PC easy by using standard SD cards for storage."
Designed by Nils Eilers,
being sold by me in kit or pre-built form. |

Memotech MTX |
MAGROM
Martin Allcorn has designed a ROM board that plugs into the
MTX cartridge connector - just like the original Memotech games
ROMs did, but with a difference. Martin's design features the
ability to store many MTX games programs on the ROM card and
uses an on screen menu to allow the user to select the game to
run.
Designed by Martin Allcorn, available as an
assembled unit only |

CFX
CFX
is a spin off of the Compact Flash storage system developed for
MTXPlus+, our modern day, fully compatible, MTX "super
computer". It uses a modified Memotech SDX ROM to give an MTX
computer the ability to load and save data from a CF card using
MTX BASIC "USER" extensions.

MTX PC
Keyboard Interface
A small PCB that fits inside an
MTX computer to allow a PC (PS/2 or USB) keyboard to be used
with an MTX. Can either work in parallel with, or instead of,
the existing matrix keyboard.
Designed by Martin Allcorn,
Bill Brendling and myself, available as an assembled unit only |
