CD64 Plus Unit for Nintendo 64

I found this many years ago at Englishtown Flea Market
in Manalapan, NJ. I never sold it and still have it in my
collection.To me, it still is the most unique and rarest 
piece of hardware I have ever found. It's called the CD64 
Plus and it's for the copy and backup of Nintendo 64 
games onto a disc media, CD, and plays from that disc 
media. It connects under the Nintendo 64.

A game cartridge slides into the front of the device and a 
CD ROM drive can be seen at the base of the unit. You'll notice
that the molding on the top of the device represents the shape
of the Nintendo 64 system's front bottom.

 A parallel port is located on the back side of the unit. This
is for dumping ROMS to the PC

 At a top view you can see that the shell is a see through 
black color. A little access door in the center is where the 
memory is located.

I have had this for a very long time. The idea was always to 
one day involve it in a project. It is very unique and a 
one-of-kind find. More can be found out about this 
from the following sites.

  1. I had one of these in the late 90's..i wish i would have kept it because these are very rare now. Didnt come with any type of owners manual and at the time i wasnt very savvy to computer use. The good thing was it came with a burned cd that was loaded with games. Worked great as far as i can remember.
