If i live to be 100 I don't think I'll ever get this type of find.

(see thread here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106272), same protos)
I'm in the process of working with Sean Riddle to get these prototypes archived. Since the power supply in the console I have doesn't work currently, that'll be the only way I can see what's on those carts.

Sorry for duplicating your thread! I didn't see it before, but I'm a regular at Benj Edward's site. :)

I'm sure someone here must have a working Channel F; have you tried the Buying & Selling forum?
Anyway, it's awesome to hear that you're looking into preserving them.
Which reminds me; is anyone working on getting Jerry Lawson's protos dumped?

I haven't checked around the forum here yet. Money has been a little tight as of late, and I'd like to try to restore the system I have first. But one way or another, I'd like to get a working system. Emulation is great for preservation and history, but it just doesn't *feel* right sometimes. :)
