I just went to the link, and there wasn't any bid on the items. Maybe the
auction was started over or something. For those that don't know
(assuming I cut and pasted the correct link into my browser), that person
is selling a Power Console and a Tsushin Booster (modem). AFAIK, the
Power Console was never released and it was made for the SuperGrafx
(Battle Ace in particular). It was supposed to come out at the same time
as the SG and Battle Ace, but I never saw it. It supposedly had a 4 or 5
port tap, throttle, keypad, flight stick thingy (the actual controls), and
maybe some other stuff. Not sure if the controller is analog or not
though. Also, it's the only thing that went into that mysterious aux(?)
port on the front of the Super Grafx. Also, when it's hooked to the SG,
it basically encloses the SG. From all the pics I saw, it seemed like you
had to remove the Power Console from the SG to put in/take out HuCards.
As for Tsushin Booster, IMO it's probably useless now. Would be a cool
toy to hack on and try to get the PCE to talk TCP/IP. heheheh.
