As of 7:53 CDT today it comes back as an "Invalid Item" when I click the link. Gee, what a shocker . . .

So I took my handy-dandy Radio Shack multimeter to the power supply of my 7800 and it's outputing 13.6 volts despite being rated for 9 VDC. Anyone have any idea what the usual range is for 7800 power supplies? How about some idea about the internal components of the 7800 - do they tolerate over- or under-voltage well at all, or do I need to rig up/find/buy a new power supply before I give the machine a whirl?

Perhaps the "01-01-70" is a print out of a test result using some piece of equipment without a real-time clock (the Atari manufacturing department equivalent of a VCR clock blinking "12:00", for instance). BTW, I just got a 7800 off Ebay with a board dated 2784, s/n AT8427168, has the expansion port. Just FYI if you're still tabulating serial numbers. Set me back $51 with seven 7800 games (incl. a Copyright 1984 Pole Position II white label) and four 2600 games.

Microbits Peripheral Products, if I recall correctly. ~Herb -- 1 x Atari 400 1 x Atari 800 2 x Atari 600XL 2 x Atari 800XL 2 x Atari 1200XL 1 x Atari 130XE . . . "Have you played Atari today?"

Thanks for the tip! I think I'll give that a try. I recompiled the emulator using sdl as a target rather than x11 (per suggestions from the developers on Atari800-users@lists.sourceforge.net and, under SDL, I at least have sound. Unfortunately, the emulator is running full-screen and I really don't want that. I loved the fact that it runs as a windowed app under X11. Thanks again for the information and I'll give it a try.

I've downloaded and compiled Atari800 1.2.2 configured for X11 under Mandrake Linux 8.2 (using gcc 3.1.1 and kernel 2.4.18-6mdk) and everything seems to work except sound. Looking back over the compile messages I see that the pokey modules were included but beyond that I'm at a loss to do any real troubleshooting. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance . . .
