And good luck finding a SASI hard drive (although I hear some early SCSI drives are compatible). I believe the correct part number for the original X68k is CZ-6be1.Īlso, the original X68000 uses a SASI interface for hard drives whereas later ones use SCSI. Also, you need to make sure the RAM upgrade card is for the original X68k and not for later models. You can buy a 4 megabyte add-on card, but they're terribly difficult to find. So if you're going to go through the trouble of buying an X68000, you might as well get one that'll play every game. Most games work just fine with 1 megabyte, but some really cool games like Granada X require 4. The original X68k only comes with 1 megabyte of RAM, while later ones come with 4. A few games like Gradius have the option to run at 15 or 31 khz.Ī word to the wise: Do NOT get an original X68000. Maybe 90% of X68000 games will run fine with a PC monitor, but some games run in low resolution 15khz mode and the vast majority of VGA monitors won't go lower than 31khz. And a modified monitor cord (it's compatible with US VGA/SVGA monitors, but the pin layout on Japanese PC's doesn't match the pins on US monitors).
