Sega Service manuals on ebay

[omp]

Hello all

There are currently some Sega Service manuals on ebay.

There are a couple of forums (SMSPower, Sega-16 and Spritesmind) joining forces (lol!) in an attempt to snare these important documents.

The intention is to purchase, scan and SHARE WITH ALL these documents.

I have started a fund raiser and will be bidding for most of the 16 bit and Saturn manuals.

The 8bit stuff is being done by SMSPower.

If you would like info on this please reply here.

I am donating by selling 3 modified consoles (on ebay) Sega Nomad (LCD screen etc), SMS2 with FM board and AV modded Atari. I have also started a chipin fundraiser.

Cheers Pete

good luck with the auctions!

I'll be glad to chip in $20 towards the procurement on these docs. How much do you think they'll go for?

They could possibly go for quite a lot, but believe me they will be shared IF we (as the team) win them. I was spreading the word so common sense would prevail, but there maybe less than charitable folk that will bid nuts money purely for the bragging rights....

Just saw this now, and so glad that you guys were able to pick up a bunch of em. Did you end up taking in enough cashwise to cover the costs?

[omp]

Yes, received enough cash. With the Saturn manual, the people got partial refunds.
I got the following manuals

32X
SCD2
MD2/Gen 2
MD2/Gen2 Sup
Sega Saturn
MCD
Whatever the hell the IC one was.

SMSpower scored well with the 8bit stuff minus one (but could possibly obtain?)

The Mega Drive and Accessories manuals were obtained by another forum and will be made available.

That's amazing. What's the current plan for making them available? Are they going up on a dedicated site, or being posted to the various forum communities involved?
