Sharp X68000

The most interesting part to me is that with 2 MB of RAM and a 68030, it’s essentially a late-1990s/early-2000s Palm device in desktop form.
bri3d•8mo ago
Early 68030 Macs were probably closer; the X68000 had a ton of proprietary audio and video accelerators that made it very unique.

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)

I'm in Vienna, Austria - would you consider shipping it to me to add to my retro computing collection?
The_SamminAter•8mo ago
There’s several going for roughly 30,000-40,000 yen (before shipping) on [buyee.jp](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•8mo ago
That 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•8mo ago
Oh 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. ;)

I wonder if they would work with a PiStorm, or other accellerators of working in similar ways. Meaning not some hard to get 68040/60, but some modern not even that big ARM, some minimal glue logic via CPLD and some additional RAM on a small board, which plugs into to the original socket instead. Running Musahi or EMU68k and some firmware for the CPLD/FPGA.

Seems to work very well for Amigas, AtariSTs, and 68k-Macintoshes. Equivalent to some 100s of MHz for applications, games & demos not so much.
