Manual for The Final Cartridge III

SmallCleverDinosaur · January 26, 2009, 10:30 PM

Does anyone have the printed manual for the Final Cartridge III that can be scanned and mailed?

The manual I have is in German as I purchased the cartridge from a German eBayer some time ago. Happy to scan it if you can read German.

There's one up for auction on eBay right now (link), and the description says it includes the instructions.

Thanks for the offer. But I'm afraid my German is very poor

That auction has already reached USD 50 and that might be a little to much for the manual (and a duplicate cartridge). Maybe I'll ask the seller if he can scan the manual before he sells the cartridge

Actually, the auction started at $50. We have to wait and see how far it reaches...

A better idea might be to try to find out who the buyer is, and ask them to scan the manual. I doubt the seller would have much interest. Still, I suppose it's worth a shot. Unfortunately, the buyer info is confidential, so if the seller isn't interested in scanning it, then you'd have to at least ask the seller to pass on your request to the buyer.

If I can find my FC III cart and instructions, I can photocopy them. However, I still have to finish photocopying the RAMLink manual.

Yeah, I photocopied the manual for

I mailed the seller and asked him. Let's see if he answers. I also offered to pay him for the extra work

That would be greatly appreciated as always

But photocopy? Don't you have a scanner Robert? (You must have, you have everything

)

Heh, I don't have that SCSI flatbed scanner that works with the Commodore 128 in 80-column mode, GEOS, CMD hard drive, and the scanner application from Roy and Ronny Bachmann.

Funny how I remember that from years and years ago,

SmallCleverDinosa, you may not realize that Robert is one of the "Commodore-only users" that avoids using more modern PC's when possible.

Does this mean there is actually a SCSI interface for the C128?

Ahh... That explains a thing or two. I'm beginning to get the full picture here

I use PCs for efficiency. Then I use my C128 for fun.

Blacklord · January 31, 2009, 02:05 AM

Hmmmm... wonder if it's possible to run a PHP enabled web server on a 128

Considering you can do it on an IBM XT & there is at least one web server (kinda) for the C64 I can't see that it's outside the realms of possibility......

Yes, in the form of a CMD hard drive with its SCSI connection.

I just figured you used a Video Toaster, Robert.

Lord Ronin is the guy that absolutely WON'T use a modern PC... Robert will use one when absolutely necessary.
