Hi,
I have a couple of Nuon items I'm considering selling.

I have what I believe to be is Pre-released
Motorola Blackbird. I purchased it 4 years ago for my nuon collection.
It will include:
Base unit
Power cord
Remote Control with mouse (new in plastic)
Keyboard with mouse
Manual with "Preliminary" on all of the pages
Demonstration CD (new and sealed)


I also have a loose Toshiba SD-2300U with Remote and Manual.
It in perfect working order. It does have a few nick on the housing.


If any one is interested I'll consider any reasonable offers...

3DOMan your PM box is full. So I will post my reply here.

They have some information here on Nuon-Dome:

http://www.nuon-dome.com/hard_blackbird.html

It a Multimedia system. It has 32Mbytes or ram (upgradable to 64) I played around with the GUI a bit. It has quite a few user settings.

You can network it using wired broadband and load games applications etc (demonstration will be included). It doesn't have an optical drive.
It has lots of ports such as:

Front: 1-PCMCIA, 1-satellite card,2-DB-9 Serial Ports.

Back: Network, 2-Debug ports, Parallel, IR Blaster, Firewire, SPDIF COAX Optical Audio, Surround Audio: Left Right Center Sub Channels, S-Video in & out, PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse, Peritel Port?

Its still factory sealed. I never opened the case. Its very heavy and well built.
The Keyboard is slick it has one of the best built in mouses I have ever used. The Remote has standard function plus a mouse as well. I forgot to mention it will include a IR Blaster cable.

Let me know if you are interested. I can email you some pictures if you would like.

Cleared my inbox...does this run NUON games or just uses "NUON technology" ?

Also, was this system ever released retail?

To my knowledge, it does not play Nuon games. However is does run on Nuon Technology. I suppose it is possible to run Nuon games if you had access to the source code and some programming knowledge.

The one I have is a Reference model. I believe it was for development or testing. Hence the Debug ports and no DVD drive or front controls.

I could be wrong. Maybe someone here has better understanding of the system and its history.

A boxed Toshiba just sold on ebay for $50. A couple loose units sold on there recently for less than that. You should definitely lower your price.

I'm not in a hurry to sell. I have to at least break even on the sale. Sooner of later it will sell. Probably later than sooner. :D

Anybody have any more information on this Blackbird device? As far as I can tell it's a tivo-type device that was only released in Australia for a short period of time? And can't even play Nuon games, despite using "NUON technology"

It's appeal to me is quickly diminishing...

Kevin used to have one, he probably still does. As far as I know, it only used the Nuon chip as the MPEG2 decoder. It did not follow the specs for memory and IO, so the games are not compatible. We could never get it to do anything, so it was nothing more than an expensive paperweight for him.

No problem. I don't want somebody to buy something from me they will later regret.
Its a nice piece of hardware for a collector. But, it really doesn't serve a real purpose.
I'm lower my asking price on ebay and take a loss. Just so I don't have to take it with me when I move.

I comes with a demo disc with games and applications. You have to copy the data over from a PC. It has network setting for FTP etc... I think you can steam Mpeg2 movies over a LAN network. I haven't played with it very much its all speculation on my part.
It supposed to have a IDE connection inside, I have never opened it to verify.
Also, It does give you the option to stream movies over Parallel, Firewire port etc.. The manual is pretty vague, it outlines the system, basic setup, and some trouble shooting.

Some progress was made to port the internal flash memory to Linux. I can't locate the data anymore the site went down a while back.

I do still have mine and was able to get it up and working with some serious tech support from JagMod. If you go to: http://www.nuon-dome.com/hard_blackbird.html you'll see a write-up with screenshots of what I was able to get it to do. There is a Web browser, and some games included on the CD it came with.

I'd never be able to get it going again because it's been so long and I barely remember how we made it happen. But, it's not just a paperweight if you're willing to get down and dirty and get it setup right.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
