These are great machines and as an Atari ST user in the old days I was very intrigued by them. So some time ago I went out of my way to buy and import one from Japan at some expense. They're really nifty, and really quite far ahead of the Amiga and ST in terms of capabilities.
Great industrial design, too. The original black model has a wonderful case.
I had some idea I'd try to port EmuTOS to it, which wouldn't be super hard, but I never got around to it.
(But now it sits in my basement unused. So if there's anybody in southern Ontario who wants it, and will do something with it, let me know. I would just like to get back what I paid I guess. Trying to pair back the hobbies)
- aa-jv 1y agoI'm in Vienna, Austria - would you consider shipping it to me to add to my retro computing collection?
- The_SamminAter 1y agoThere’s several going for roughly 30,000-40,000 yen (before shipping) on [buyee.jp](https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/Sharp%20X68000 https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/Sharp%20X68000) currently. I’m considering picking one up myself, though I’m quite sure I’d have no use for it (please outbid me).
- cmrdporcupine 1y agoThat is quite a bit cheaper than I paid for mine ~10 years ago. Gen 1 X68000, I think I paid total with shipping customs etc somewhere in the range of $1000 CAD.
- aa-jv 1y agoOh wow, those are amazing. I really have to add one to my collection .. but probably, I'd have a better time buying a plane ticket to Tokyo and going shopping for one, locally. ;)
