Wanted : REALTIZER software/image. This is a message in a bottle : I'd like to use my Realtizer, unfortunatelly the floppy is dead, eaten by the chemicals from the color filters. The disk is melted with the case so i can't put it in a new one : It's dead and it stinks petroleum ? Unfortunately i haven't been able to find a copy online. I just can't believe this software is 100% lost. "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope." ?

Hi Steve, I'm interested by : Unboxed XF 551 - tested working. Atari 800 48K - unboxed in pretty good condition - boots to memo pad +Shipping to France. ...Of course if the price are soft and realistic If you have pictures of both... Thanks.

Ok it's not user friendly until you find this search tool : http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html I tried to use "atari" as "assignee name" AND all names from http://www.atarimania.com/faq-atari-400-800-xl-xe-who-designed-the-atari-8-bit-computers_17.html in all other fields. I guess it's more or less what Jed did, that's why i hadn't more results. Too bad. ?

Absolutely...but as said before, the search engine is...well...not really user friendly

But still nothing about the XL line...

Hi, I found this picture, I wonder if it exists somewhere for the 800 xl ? ? Thanks.

Oops, of course, you're right

Yes indeed

Hi, I was watching some old episodes of "Magnum PI" (i know i know, i'm not very proud of it ?) and it seem there is an Atari 400 in one episode (Season 4 (1983–84), episode 3, "Smaller Than Life", ~00:26). The keybord is strange but it definitely belongs to an Atari 400/800. https://youtu.be/bzDblp4gvCc Best regards, Marsup.

Not yet, living in europe the shipping cost will probably be high for a 2$ switch.

The on/off switch on one of my XEGS is dead. A previous owner fixed this by soldering it so that it was always ON as soon as the XEGS is plugged. But that's ugly and this needs to be fixed. Conrad has a lot of this kind of switches but not the same. I don't want to spend money for something that won't fit Any idea ? Thanks.

Yes you can find it here : https://atarinside.dyndns.org/blog/index.php/atarinside-items/atari-logo/ And B.T.W i'm looking for the booklet (or a scan).

Hi, are you sure i's an XLF PAL ? I mean the output is a coaxial cable but with a Freddie inside ? Could you upload a picture of the motherboard ? Thanks.

Ok Thanks, to both of you, Phaeron (i trully always enjoy your detailed explanations because i learn things) and luckybucky.

DrVenkman was right ! Thanks ! It seems to be a problem with some files related to my Nvidia driver and ATRtool 27e. But the 27f version fixed the problem, well done ! Thanks for this great tool !

Hi, i still have no luck to run this program but this time with win10x64. Again, I have the process in my task manager but no window. Maybe because i'm dual screen ? On a mono-screen it seems to run. I tried with compatibility and with admin mode, no luck.

Thanks @santop. That's the "error" message it should gives (the one with the real cartridge on a real 800xl). But it's not the message i have in Altirra so i guess Altirra (windows version) is a bit sensitive with the .ROM file. At least your test shows that my dump is good

Here's the final result, with some painting and 4 screws, it should be OK @Stephen, adding holes in it for the leds should be easy (good idea). See attached file for the 3D model. 3D Sio2SD 1050 case.zip

Oops, i don't know what happened with my file, anyway, here it is a a link : http://minu.me/fofg With a DOS disk in Altirra, it's better indeed, it gives the floppy directory. But the original cartridge in a real 800XL is throwing an error instead of this garbled chars. Atari Schreiber - CART - RXG 8036 - Copie.zip

Hi, I have some troubles with the german version of "Atari Writer" cart i've dumped. It looked fine until i did more tests with it : Everything is fine until i use the "Inhaltsverzeichnis" Menu in Altirra (Table of Contents). So : Is it a problem with my method ? With my file ? A kind of copy protection ? I'll appreciate your help. File is attached. Thanks

Hi Id' like to order an assembled one (shipping to France). Thanks.

Hi, If you have a usb phone charger...Try something like this.

Thanks. Yes I thought about it but for only 3 led, the cost is too high. You need these things and these pipes and they are not sold by unit (+shipping..). I'll post the final result here with the 3D file (3mf) if someone is interested so, tell me. I'd be happy to share it anyway.

Hi @all, it's still a work in progress so it's not perfect but just for the fun
