3DO Blaster Users Guide is missing

Post by Andreas W. » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:54 pm

Heyhoo!

My 3DO Blaster arrived today and I´m so happy....I have no words to describe it :-)
It came in the original Box and everything is there...but the Users Guide is missing.
I know that there is a PDF somewhere on the net but I can´t find it.
Does anybody have an idea where I can get the document or a scan?

Best regards
Andreas

I uploaded it a while back. I'll have to check to see if it is still up.

Now I can finally start my project: 3DO Blaster in a 386DX40

Hi and thx for the info!
The link to the PDF is not working but I was able to download the scanned version.

Nothing can stop me now, because now I know how to jumper the base address :-)

I´ll put the 3DO Blaster in my 386 Dos gaming PC.

It is a AMD 386DX40 with a Cyrix 40Mhz FPU, 32 MB Ram, 16MB ISA IDE Cache Controller that can take up to four HDDs, 8GB HDD (two 4GB HDDs working together as one), Sound Blaster 16, Gravis Ultrasound ACE with 1MB Ram, Diamond Speedstar Tseng ET4000AX 1MB VGA card (fastest VGA card for DOS games), QIC 80 streamer, 3com network card and a Commodore 1541 Floppy for reading and writing old C64 floppy disks (connected via X1541 cable).
I am planning to update this little beast with a 486DLC CPU and FPU (486 CPU with 386 pin layout) when I put in the 3DO Blaster card.

Not bad for a 386...eh ? :-)
It took more than 10 years to find all the parts.

I´ll post some pictures as soon as I start the project (could take a few weeks because I am still searching for the 486DLC CPU).

Cya!
Andreas
