Expality 2000 test VR unit
Mid 2013, I picked up some more VR kit. None of it was tested to be working fully, but it was found to be part of the sale of the 2 Sit Down Units found on eBay 2012. I`m glad I didnt pay £1200 for it! But saying that - to me, having spares and the possibility of building a second VR machine is priceless!
The total equipment I bought included one Visette, one Expality computer, and enough spares for a second Expality, although not complete.
During investigation on the kit, I found that only one Amiga 3000 Motherboard was working - I have not yet written the other one off, as I plan to see if it is revivalble at a later date.
Here are the updates and photos, with the latest on top.
