Super Duper

[budz2355]

Friend found one of these carts from Navarrone in a thrift shop. Any idea of value?

Speculation? Rarity? Anything? I feel like I have seen these before, but I can't remember if they are on par with a Super Space II for rarity ..... Appreciate any insight !

It's on the RARE listing with info:

Description:

 

Use the high-speed Super-Duper program cartridge to duplicate your disks' single and double sided, then lock away your originals. For single drive-systems, a special data- compression routine stores most of your information in expanded memory to reduce disk swapping. Most disks are copied in one or two passes— and Super-Duper works even faster with multiple-drive systems. The program automatically formats blank diskettes before copying and allows you to verify Your back-ups byte for byte against the originals.

They don't show up often (may once or twice a year).

 

I got mine in the Marketplace forum here at Atariage for $15 (along with a dozen or so other cartridges) .

(interesting sidebar: The gentleman who sold it to me didn't have an internet connection, so we had to go through an intermediary (who was a friend of his AND a member of AtariAge). HE sold about 50 TI cartridges/disks and a bunch of hardware, all without ever visiting the site where he was selling them.

 

eBay price is whatever someone is willing to pay, but usually any 3rd party TI carts sell at a greatly inflated premium (when it comes to collectibles, there's the REAL price (yard sales, flea markets, pawn shops, thrift stores, forum buy & sells, fan-fests etc) and the eBay price.

 

Keep in mind that the key word in your question is "value", and value isn't price, it's worth...which is determined by the buyer not the seller (and is influenced by timing as much as anything).

If you are interested in the program and not getting an actual original cartridge, I can supply an EPROM that can be placed on one of the Guidry cartridge boards (or any other board suitable for an 8K EPROM). Send me a PM if you are interested.

This would also run on a flashrom then

Navarone cartridges are uncommon-but not particularly rare. Super Duper was released in three different case styles: ROMOX (uncommon, and the one pictured here), Personal Peripherals (rare), and TI (uncommon). Like all Navarone cartridges, the ROM is 8K, so it can be used with a FlashROM cartridge or burned to an EPROM and used with one of the cartridge boards (Guidry, Black, or Red would all work nicely). That said, the real price is dependent on cartridge collector need for that title--and the overall market for TI cartridges is somewhat thin (there are probably 20 or so hard core cartridge collectors out there, with another 30 or so that have extensive sets they've built up over the years).

Is that rpk for flashrom? i didn't know FR99 took rpk files if so. Or does it need further converting? I'm confused about your attachment.

an rpk is a zipfile renamed rpk so just rename it to zip, unzip the binary, use it with flashrom discard xml files as they are to tell mess what to do. rinse repeat
