- There are two classes of "Doctor" systems, both of which are described below:
-
- The multi-system "Doctor" gives the ability to play cartridge games from floppy
- disk to as many video game consoles as possible. Typically, the following game
- consoles are supported: (all by one "Doctor")
-
- Mega Drive Genesis
- PC-Engine
- Supergrafx
- Super Famicom SNES
- Game Boy
- Game Gear
-
- The Turbografx-16 is NOT supported by rampack-based copiers at this time.
-
- The user copies a video game cartridge by inserting it into the copier. The
- machine then writes out the game onto a 3 1/2" floppy. 8 megabit games will
- require a 1.44 megabyte HD disk, but smaller games (up to 4 megs) can be put
- on a 720 kilobyte DS disk.
-
- Disks are standard MS-DOS disks and games are stored as DOS files, readable
- with any MS-DOS compatible computer equipped with the right floppy drive...
- To play a game from disk, the disk is inserted into the unit, along with the
- RAMPACK. Think of the RAMPACK as a blank cartridge. The machine loads that
- disk into the RAMPACK which then mates with the appropriate adapter, so that
- it may be inserted into the matching video game console.
-
- The RAMPACK is equipped with a 256 kilobit save circuit and save games for
- both the Mega Drive (Genesis), and the Super Famicom (SNES) are supported.
-
- The user needs to supply his or her own 9V (~1 A) AC-to-DC adapter. The
- one that comes with the above video game systems will work. You can get
- one at Radio Shack for less than $10.
-
- I am charging $850 for a multi-system Doctor, or $800 each for 2 or more.
- Shipping is extra ($10 for delivery in continental US.) Checks require 2
- weeks to clear - please be patient! Orders paid by a money order(s) will
- be processed immediately. Delivery typically takes ONE week. Will deli-
- ver to your home within the greater Bay Area.
-
- What you get for your money:
-
- Main Console (with 1.44 megabyte 3 1/2" floppy drive)
- 8 megabits Rampack
- Copier
- Adapters for the following systems:
- Mega Drive (Genesis), Super Famicom (SNES), and PC-Engine
- Mega-Drive-to-Genesis converter for Genesis owners
-
- Adapters for Supergrafx, Game Gear, and Game Boy are available
- separately for $50 each. Please inquire about availability...
-
- Also, please NOTE that Doctor systems from me come with factory warranties.
- (1 year) However, the customer is required to pay for shipping back to the
- authorized repair facility. I don't know of any import house that provides
- warranty service on their "grey" goods.
-
- The one-system "Doctor" in general is just as functional as a full-blown
- multi-system "Doctor," albeit for ONE system only. The following videos
- are supported: (one system per Doctor, please specify when ordering)
-
- Mega Drive Genesis (same unit)
- PC-Engine
-
- Don't expect to get all the features of a multi-system Doctor, however.
- For example, whereas the multi-system Doctor is equipped with a 1.44 megabyte
- 3 1/2" floppy drive, the one-system Doctor comes with a 720 kilobyte DS flop-
- py drive. 8 megabit games require 2 disks and you swap disks when prompted.
-
- Works the same way as described above, except no RAMPACK is used. Instead,
- the main unit attaches right to the video game console. Otherwise, the two
- types of Doctors are equivalent.
-
- I charge $550 for a one-system Doctor, or $500 each for two or more. As
- before, shipping is $10 for delivery throughout the continental US. The
- previous information applies regarding payment by check and delivery.
-
- I also import Mega Drive cartridges. Price will not exceed $35 for each title.
- Shipping is $3 and includes first class postage and a padded envelope.
- Please specify title and inquire about availability.
