Post by: UglyJoe on May 04, 2015, 06:26:02 pm
Appears to be a Disk Writer in someone's private collection: https://twitter.com/kazzykazycom/status/594858898969927680/photo/1 (https://twitter.com/kazzykazycom/status/594858898969927680/photo/1)

If anyone's seen the GameCenter CX movie, there's a (real?) Disk Writer in it.  Arino even said in one episode that it was on "special loan" from Nintendo.

Oh, haha, yeah.  I didn't bother to look at his other tweets where he shows in-progress photos of it being built. :-[

I have one of those.  It's a toy.  It is used for Disk storage.

You can see it in this video briefly:

I also saw this machine in the GCCX episode (did not see the movie yet). I did not know about this device before. Was it used to purchase or fix or advertise FDS games?
