I just tried mine out today. It is great! The joystick navigated menu works fast and smooth, all the games I tried worked fine.

It is also tiny. For anyone that has seen the Ultimate Expander, it is even smaller than that. It actually fits flush with the rear of the case, it doesn't stick out at all...nice. Don't worry, it is still easily removed...though with 127 games available, you won't need to remove it very often!

I think it has a screw hole for mounting.

Why not put it into standard Vic-20 cart case?

That's what it was designed for!

25th unit sold already!

Still looking for a person to help me test a PAL version and select the ROMs for it.

I'm interested in testing the PAL version. How much work/test would it be?

I´m also interested in testing or buying a PAL version.

Best regards from Berlin

Wow! Don't all rush in!

I can only give out one free Behr Bonz for PAL testing.

I will give it to the person who says he can:

- Make a list of 127 recommended games for the PAL version

- Test the images using his own VIC and memory expansion & report any defective images (I will purposely send you one or two defective images in the bunch to see if you can discriminate accurately)

- Test the prototype PAL Behr Bonz cart & report any defective games

- Retest if any faulty games was found.

Does that sound fair?

Finally tried mine out, it worked great.

And, it generated a lot of interest this weekend at the Midwest Gaming Classic. jcompton and I brought a VIC-20 and C-64 setup, with a Behr Bonz and MMC64 respectively, and our table in the "museum" area had way more interest than last year.

Nearly all of the 40 ECCC invitations we printed and left on the table were taken by interested people. I hope a bunch of them come out!

Bah! I knew I was missing something. I am always out of the loop on these things. Another event I missed. We need an "Events" sticky.

why not open a separate thread "Behr Bonz PAL conversion" with links to rom images so that we can check/fix them in spare time and report on the thread itself

Hey I missed this post. Sorry.

Thank you very much for exhibiting the Behr Bonz!

No problem; did you hear from anyone who said they'd seen it there? Quite a few people said they wanted to get one.

Is Behr Bonz a pun or what? Last names?
