Hello Larry ,

Well the Genius Modules go +-1100 Euro, + Munchen +-350 Euro

So i think is reasonable price ,maybe with a bit negotiation :roll:

The module is a sound one for sure with a very high rating

Mephisto Genius 68030 33 MHz 2340 ELO

So this will not go cheap but i agree a little barter may get the price down but at the end of the day as always it's a case of who want's it and at what price someone is willing to pay.

I'm interested in the modules but not the munchen. I got a munchen
complete with 32 bit Portorose modules a couple of years back. I know how
heavy the munchen is and shudder at the thought of flying one down to this
corner of the world.
Incidentally, my munchen came from nearby New Zealand, and at a price
I could'nt resist. It's got fantastic furniture and conversation value, a real
piece of history. I guess it will be a part of my estate.

Yes exactly, i wonder if this is going to affect the price of a module genius for
Mephisto. I wonder waht should be a good price for the module now?
I know the modules are stronger but probably the style is very similar or same. Probably if they sell many of these dedicated computers the next step could be A stronger genius.
The modules probably will take a hit
It is kind of like buying a polgar10 when you already have polgar 5

leds - Muchen board

Post by dedicate computers »

The Muchen board has serious problems with leds! Currently I have one, but in the past had two and had to change the leds because it didn't the brightness.
