Merry 2024! Today marks the addition of the Quadlink Software Revision 3.0 documentation addendum, found in the manuals of later versions of the product. Thanks to Steve Hutton for the scan! https://www.diskman.com/presents/trackstar/scans.htm

Just a heads up y'all, I've listed the bulk of my Trackstar collection on ePay... Check out Brandon's eBay stuffs! I'm a "research collector" and "collect to use" kind of guy; everything I listed has outlived its purpose for me, thus it's all better off in someone else's hands. So if you're...

Thanks for the kind words. Proper research & archival of these weird gizmos is very important to me, so I'll keep working at it regardless of whether people care or not -- but it's always nice to know that some folks are enjoying & getting good use out of my website. 👍 I can't overstate how...

A Supervision prototype cartridge appeared!! (Cue cricket orchestra.) Oh. My. God. Which scintillating game could it possibly be? Happy Flappy? No. Devil Paradise?? Of course not, don't be ridiculous. It's... *sigh* ...Sonny X'Press. Because of course it is. Yep. Sonny, that parasite-ridden...

Thank you! I'm glad you find the website useful. :cool:

LGR upped a neato vid about the Trackstar cards. Check it out if you're interested in seeing everything these babies can do!

If the opportunity arises, I gladly will.

Fun [?] fact: It's a clone of my very own Quadlink card, which I'd lent to him. So I can totally vouch for the quality & authenticity of the project. He did a fab job.

Today I've finally finished & released Trackstar games pack #1, which is a hard drive image containing 180 unique games: each of which has been compatibility tested. If you're tired of mucking about with floppy disk images, this is your chance to go gonzo! Simply load up this pack on your...

A bunch of really neat scans were just added to my Trackstar website, mostly relating to the Trackstar 128. There's a full color leaflet, a question and answer flyer, keyboard overlays, and a flyer with some absolutely smashing chariot artwork on it. There's also a Trackstar Plus new product...

An ePay auction for an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly recently caught my eye, as the seller claimed it mentioned the Supervision. Consulting a scan of the issue, I quickly realized said seller was full of snot. BUT!! This made me wonder: Had EGM sullied their mag at some point, by...

I'm a patient man, and optimistic that somebody, somewhere, still has this stuff on hand. Added to which I've had great luck tracking down bizarre, obscure software like this over the years. So I'm prepared to wait.

Hey, y'all. I recently picked up an "IBM 80" by Small Systems Engineering, which is an ISA card w/Z80 chip for running CP/M-80 on IBM PCs. It requires a custom version of CP/M 2.2 to be used, which I sadly don't have. I've thoroughly checked for the software + docs at all the usual places...

Hey, who wants to pull their old-timey Trackstar v1 (from 1984!) out of mothballs and give it a go? *raises hand* I stumbled upon a complete kit last week, and made great haste in archiving the software and documentation. So! If you've got one of these majestic dinosaurs lying around, but no...

More Supervision scans?! To quote Charlie Brown, “AAUGH!” It's all the variations, damn it. If it weren't for all the different, seemingly endless versions of the packaging, instructions in a half-dozen languages, et Cetera, then I'd, very likely, have been done with all this stuff and nonsense...
