Hi
I have here a Superbrain (original version) with QD spec floppies. 64K RAM, runs CP/M. This machine is fitted with a uIDE with boot ROM, this is a sold state hard disk system designed by me and documented in full here: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/UIDE_Universal_IDE_adapter_cards_for_Z-80_computers
It is all fully working and the uIDE is loaded with CP/M software (some of which may need configuring for the Superbrain's display).
The case is in good condition and the machine itself is refurbished. PSU recapped, and there is an auxiliary MeanWell 12v PSU for the floppy motors (which have the MOTOR_ON modification so they do not spin constantly). The reason for the extra PSU is well documented in the Superletter magazine - the Intertec PSU is a bit weak, and so adding another unit helps it last. Of course, it is still supplying 12v to the Superbrain's mainboard.
I will supply it with various Intertec boot disks (it boots from floppy as well as uIDE) and a uIDE utility disk.
I'm looking for at least £450. That's not bad when you consider the uIDE with ROM board, ROM and bus cable costs £80.
Let me just remind you that this one is fully working. That in itself is rare!
Collection only, from West Sussex (UK).
Cheers
