    It hit me while watching you test the power and open buttons, that they're designed pretty much the same way as the ones on the 3DO FZ-1. The buttons on the case push forward, not down. They're chunky pieces of plastic that are mounted on a spring and engage the actual switch, farther inside on the motherboard. You only see small portions of these large plastic buttons that stick out of the front of the case, which are labeled, "power" and "open/close".

      That was probably very early in development. The M2 doesn't look like it would have been easy to develop for since it uses two CPUs similar to the Sega Saturn. Having just one fast CPU I think would have been better for most developers.

    • @VideoGameEsoterica

    A few soundbites from the time:
    My limited knowledge of the Saturn and PSX suggest that trying to
    do dymanically-computed textures on them would be extraordinarily arduous.
    With M2, it's a snap. This lets you easily and cheaply pull tricks like
    "video feedback." In fact, one of our earlier demos had a TV set object
    which was displaying the current camera view. So when you moved the
    camera to point at the TV screen... It was pretty cool.

    Leo L. Schwab -- D
    the demo tape featuring the D&D-style
    monster fight and the racing game were fakes... excuse me, simulations,
    created using Alias.
    The animations were based on a set of theoretical rendering speeds,
    which were later shown to be tremendously optimistic when actual silicon
    arrived.
    Still, the numbers we did get out of BDA were pretty damn
    impressive; 300K polygons/sec in a typical case (2x N64), 500K if you're
    dilligent...
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
    Leo L. Schwab -
    THOSE* demos! You mean the ones with sailboat in the lagoon
    and Bossie the cow (actually a hermaphrodite; it had horns *and* an udder)
    behind the cyclone fence? I had completely forgotten about those.
    Yeah, those videos were generated using a software simulation of
    the BDA chip. They were extremely legit, and in fact the Bossie-behind-
    the-fence demo was ported to real hardware, and worked precisely as
    advertised. I don't think anyone ever got around to porting the sailboat
    program; the people who wrote it were immersed in more important things by
    the time real silicon showed up.
    You've seen the N64 controller, right? Well, the prototype M2
    controller I saw looked very similar. However, it was built using
    prototype plastics. For those of you who have never seen the stuff
    before, it's this yellowish-white substance that isn't very pretty (it
    doesn't need to be; it's for prototypes).
    So here we are, looking at this yellowish-white thing with a long
    central component and two smaller roundish components at one end, and it
    was just completely impossible for us to keep a straight face when anyone
    grabbed hold of it...
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
    Leo L. Schwab
    All public Opera demos were run on actual hardware. The original Opera
    machines were 13 boards of silicon, which were later compressed into
    3 chips, but the "giant graphics engine" was the actual Opera hardware.
    Some of the very early very speculative PRIVATE Opera demos were
    mockups, but these were never represented as running on real hardware.
    They were in fact video tapes of our guesses as to what the hardware
    would eventually do.
    The approach to the M2 demos was another story altogether...

      @@VideoGameEsoterica ahh... sometimes that happens. This unit looks like the one my buddy had. It too didnt work but had the same discolored cd lid. He traded it to a guy at assembler forums.
      With only so many made, its possible this could be that unit.

    What type of pcmcia card i can use on my black fz21 ?

    • @VideoGameEsoterica
      @VideoGameEsoterica  3 года назад

      None really. The PCMCIA card slot in finished 21's were for add ons. Networking cards and such. There is no functionality built into that slot in the BIOS for accessories...so it's just ornamental

    It's still too bad the M2 never reached the home console market. It had potential as a high-end system in the '96-'97 time frame.
    Actually, in my dream universe though, instead of working on the M2, RJ Mical and Dave Needle re-tooled the 3DO hardware into a 1996 cart-based handheld, Atari picked it up as the Lynx III-D, it's an instant financial and critical success, and somehow it saves Atari from their own doom at the hands of the Tramiels. So, we end up with 3rd-party support and maybe some great theoretical handheld ports of SSF2T, UMK3, and then maybe Darkstalkers etc. Considering the state of Atari in '95, that's a really far-fetch fantasy haha.
