A long time ago I had an Action Replay II.

I modded it and was planning to rebuild this using pluggable eurocard-prints.
Then it got lost, somewhere.

Today I went to Almelo with Tyrone.
In the morning reverse engineering a lift controller print, and afternoon going to a guy selling a lot of Retro stuff.

And there it was, an Action Replay II for Amiga just catching dust.

I had to buy it, and got a sh*tload of 27256 Eproms for free!
