Archived from groups: rec>games>vectrex (more info?)

Hello,

I own a very old Sean Kelley Vectrex Multicart (I believe this
would go as a 1.0, circa about 1995 or 1996) and was even before John
Dondzila wrote any of his games for Vectrex. I was wondering if it was
possible to upgrade the cart to version 2.0? Perhaps Sean might be
able to do this, if he still makes these at all?

Also, I have a Top Max programmer and could make a new eprom, but
I don't know if that's all that I would need to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Very Much,
Michael Kelley

I actually asked Sean way back if he did "upgrades" and he didn't. So
technically you'll have to buy 2.0 fresh at the full price. Whenever
you find Sean selling them on eBay of course.

I had a 1.0 myself and sold it in the past when I got 2.0. Actually
regreting that. So if you are interested in selling your 1.0, let me
know Smile

(I'll next see Sean in early July and if you still haven't got a 2.0
multicart by then, I'll ask him if he's got any spare for me to have)

My betting is if you put the V1.0 on ebay you would get more money for
it than you would pay for a V2.0 if you're a gambling man. If I still
had my spare V2.0 which I sold in December, I'd offer to swop you
immediately! Smile

I have the 1.0 version as well.
It has a small problem in that it does not always work the first time, I
have to turn the Vec on and off a few times to get it to work.
Does anyone else have that problem?
I cleaned the contacts and checked the circuit board and everything seems
OK.

Considering Sean sells them for $75, then you shouldn't really pay any
more than that personally. Despite people on the bay selling them for
stupid prices (and seemingly others willing to pay).

if youre interested in gaming only then i'll have jumperless multicarts
in the middle of may that don't need the vectrex to be switched on/off
between gamechange with same/more games than the sk one for agressively
less money..
i'll keep you updated once the card is finished;-)

Well I sold my SK multicart when I got Richard's first VecRAM cart
(for my palmtop). I wrote Pythagorean Theorem exclusively on my
palmtop then compiled and transferred to the Vectrex .. all on the
palmtop!

Now I have the VecFLASH cart .. but I still rely on the VecRAM cart
and palmtop for quick developments.

(HP200LX is the best palmtop ever!)
