3DO motherboard

[geeoh]

I have a 3do motherboard. Are any of the parts useable for anything?

[Niku-Sama]

is it from an FZ-1?

[Triton]

is it just the mobo? or does it have all the parts from the system with it still (not controlers etc but all the stuff inside)

[geeoh]

It's the first model, the one with the motorized cd tray. It has all of the parts, but it's disassembled as of yesterday as a result of boardom.

[Niku-Sama]

can you take some pics? (3DO's just interest the crap outa me for some reason)

[Triton]

im interested in 3do as well

[geeoh]

I'll post some pics, but I'd like to know if I could hack it, or use the parts off of it. I am obsessed with harvesting electronic parts and taking things a part. It has a lot of chips on it. I was thinking of using the shell to house my portable, and use the cd tray as a drink holder. I already have another 3DO that has the flip top, and tons of bargin bin games and controllers.

the FZ-1 (the big one with the CD tray)....is hard to find....if you hack any 3do up it should be toher other one...

and the tray wont work very well as a drink holder....theyre too flimsy....i'll find you a link to a drink holder in a minute.

[way off topic]Hey neat avatar, geeoh. Do you think the next Batman movie won't suck? There's at least some hope since they finally got rid of the rubber nipples The batsuit even has pneumatic wings![/way off topic]

They should have stuck to Burton's vision. Although it wasn't perfect, it breathed new life into the character, and removed the gayish Adam West stigma, and as a result, made more people like myself a Batfan. Nothing can top Batman '89. It was quite the thrill ride. It remided me of the Superman films (as far as the acting and the characters went) combined with Edward Scissorhands meets Beetle Juice. There will never be a Joker like Jack Nicholson in my book. I always took the Joker as a silly clown like Caesar Romero portrayed before seeing the first movie. Hopefully the future Joker won't be like the one from the independent fan film "Batman: Dead end".

After seeing Schumacher's Batman of ten years ago, I gave up on the movie franchise and still to this day haven't seen the movie that came out in '97. After seeing Schumacer's movie "The Bird Cage", I now can see why he put nipples on the Batsuit, and did a few ass shots on it as well. I doubt this new film will be much better if it's anything like the Catwoman film that came out last summer. I remember that it was reported shortly after Batman Returns, that Tim Burton originally was going to make the Catwoman film based off of Michelle Pfeiffer's excellent portrayal. Pfeffier, in fact was going to reprize her role, but it never did materialize. It shows how little respect WB has for Batman fans by casting Halle Berrie as Catwoman, and creating such a crappy and irrelevant film that wasn't true to the character. I bet WB is trying to cash in on Spiderman. Casting Berrie as Catwoman, would be the same logic as casting Steve Urkle, from Family Matters as Peter Parker.

Well, since I am from Chicago, and I've actually seen them shooting the film around where I live, I'm going to see the film. Hopefully it's not the same crap that Schumacer dished out in the last decade, but a something better than what Burton gave us, or at least as good. If it sucks, they should update the Six Flags Batman the Ride, and make it crash at the end of the ride to symbolize the Batman franchise.

Last complaint though, new Batmobile sucks, but better than the one in Schumacer's film. However, it's nice to see that it's keeping the industrial look that the former Anton Furst created in Burton's two films. The new Batsuit seems to keep with Ringwoods version, but I think that the the jaw area is cut too thin, and the bat chest plate is too dull. I know they are trying base this off of the pre-1960's costume, but I like the Bat chest plate from the first two films. Finally, I hope they don't have Robbin in any of the films ( I think there is no need), or if they do, make him a her. It has been done before thanks to Frank Miller.
