I was cleaning up today and ran across an old 64K battery-backed SRAM card
for a Sharp OS-781. The box mentions the OZ-7000, but I was wondering if
this is one of the cards that will work with a Commodore CD-TV (there's a
PCMCIA-ish slot in the front, and ISTR 64K was one of the sizes mentioned
in some of the documentation for what would work in there).
Specifically, my recollection is that the CD-TV takes a "Type I" card, and
this OZ-781 _is_ 1/2 as thick as a Type II (with one row of pins, not two).
Do I have a match? (I'll still have to find a CD-TV to replace the one
that was stolen in a burglary years ago - so long ago, in fact, that the
insurance company paid out 100% for the loss with no questions asked,
based on the pricetag on the corner of the box - $795). It was a fun
little box that fit well with the other components by the TV. I did replace
it with a CD-32 later, but the two just don't compare, stylistically, even
though the CD-TV is, essentially, a repackaged A500, and the CD-32 is a
crippled A1200 (but I do have an SX-1 expansion for it).
Speaking of expansions, has anyone ever seen the MPEG cartridge for the
CD-32? I don't "need" one, since I can watch VCDs on my Apex DVD player,
but I've always wanted to find one at a reasonable price to see how well
it plays VCDs.
