Hey @poponon, good to see ya again! Never forgot your unique avatar. Wish I could say there were more eyeballs here to help sales move along but I did my best to rebuild PCEFX, make it viewable on phones, etc.

Admittedly your best bet is any of the PC Engine/TurboGrafx Facebook groups if you can't sell this on eBay.

Just in case, gonna tag @elartur77 since he's been buying/fixing NEC hardware lately and is active.

Buy/Sell/Trade / RAU-30 Supergrafx to CD Rom Ad...

Last post by poponon - 04/19/2025, 05:37 PM

I'm looking to sell my RAU-30, the supergrafx to CD rom adapter.

Picked this up a while ago but never ended up getting a supergrafx,

I was thinking like 150$ but feel free to make an offer.

About the only Duo memorabilia I own is this TTi CD case (fits 12 CDs) which I bought together with my Turbo Duo in the 90's, though a piece of it cracked off on the other side, needs plastic repair glue. Can't find photos of it online, I even tried an image google search but found nothing. I could swear I've seen it shared on Facebook years ago though. Anyway, I thought I'd log my photo here. I keep my best games in it like Ys Book I & II, Ys III-IV, Cosmic Fantasy 2, Exile 1 & 2, Dracula X, Dragon Slayer, Gate/Lords of Thunder, and Valis II-III.

This differs from a DUO in one very significant way (and several smaller ones)
The DUO maps the CD system ram and ROM, where that is handled by the CD system card in this case
The duo uses 1 SMD ram chip for data buffer where the IFU uses 2 DIP package chips to do the same
The sample ram is the same on both

The lines are evenly spaced, likely a stuck data bit
Test CD player (music)
Should be informative

Could actually be bad ram
I have run into that before
Obviously check traces
Logic probe is your friend, floating lines don't work
