three 1050 Floppy enhancements in one...

[+CharlieChaplin]

Okay,

 

this is not a Mega Speedy with a dozen or so upgrades, but at least 3 different 1050 upgrades in one:

 

- TOMS Multi = Turbo 1050 enhancement

- Happy Warp = Happy 1050 enhancement

- Mini Speedy = Speedy 1050 enhancement

The creator is from Poland and while the enhancement itself is a good buy, I fear that shipping costs outside EU are not that cheap. But maybe its still interesting for those that could not get (or could not afford) a Mega Speedy enhancement. Last not least, Poland is a PAL country, this device works well here in my country, Germany, which is also a PAL country. I do not know if this device will work correct under NTSC equipment - so ask before buying (and don't blame me).  This 1050 enhancement (and others) can also be found on ebay from the same seller:

The 1050 is independent of the country, it will work on any 8 bit, only the PSU needs to change

240V AC for PAL/EU, 120V AC for NTSC , but still the same input to the 1050.

That and the high speed firmware rom which has already been NTSC fixed in the MegaSpeedy RomPack that floated about for a time.

Could not agree more. Best fun I ever had was resurrecting the MegaSpeedy project and building a few units. I still have spare boards waiting on parts to build up another 3-4 boards.

Yes, but that does not count for the 1050 enhancements. The (mini) Speedy 1050 originally did NOT work with NTSC systems, think there were timing problems and the firmware required some changes. I do not know if the creator of this 3-in-1 device sells original Speedy upgrades (PAL only) or if he has Speedy's with the firmware change for NTSC...
