I answered you here: Cheers, andY

Hi Maurico, you recently asked me in this thread about the firmware on my TRAK AT. The Trak arrived yesterday and I took a few pictures. The label is unfortunately extremely faded, but comparing it to another TRAK label, I would say it says: ATARI 1.13 T TRAK Micro Corp. COPYRIGHT 1983 (The second photo is for comparation) Cheers, andY

You could try get in touch with David, he is the contact person in these forum to ATARI. -> Davpa Cheers, andY

Hi Simius. @Preorder list andymanone: Pls correct me for "2" / Country DE Thanks! andY

Btw: Here, there seems to be still a dealer who offers Silent Butler XL/XE complete as NOS for 9€! Cheers, andY

Yes, you´re right, I primarily use Windows/PC MIDI tools, but I also fiddle around with MIDIJoy for ATARI 8-BIT and MIDIcar for ATARI 8-BIT. Cheers, andY

@NorbertP: You forgot the Germans in the pronunciation in your voting 😉 we call it like : "Geh Teh Eee Ahh" 😊 And the "G" pronounced hard (like the "G" in goal, goat, gun, girl, etc.) Cheers, andY

A special eye-catcher is the 64k extension in black (dark brown) 😎! Cheers, andY

Hi Mauricio, Yes, I will check it as soon as possible after delivery (I bought it today😉). But if it's useful for you, I can provide the schematics and the manual for you (see attachment). Cheers, andY TRAK-ATusers_guide.pdf

My very latest bargain on Ebay was an cool ATARI 8-BIT "TRAK 5,25 inch floppy drive" with track display😍! It was offered for buy it now 49,95 USD and I didn't hesitate for a second and hit the buy button😎. Cheers, andY

The NUON-to-USB adapter is also already pre-ordered 😎 But sorry for the stupid question: Where can I find the pre-order option for the N64 controller adapter? Cheers., andY

Thanks a lot for your great masterpiece, Poison😎👍! I got it last days with my ABBUC-Mag, and love it at all♥️! Cheers, andY

Maybe I am blind 🧐, but I don't see an option in the ATARI Shop to select another currency, let alone to select another country for shipping (See screenshot attached). What am I doing wrong? No, not at all I will take out my anger on you! On the contrary, I am very glad to have found an interface to ATARI with you here👍! I love the VCS and would like to have a second one (one to collect for the showcase and one to play and modify). Maybe you have seen my little graphics hack with an Nvidia graphics card 😉? Cheers, andY

Hi @davpa I do not want to beat you, but quite the opposite 😉. I am glad to have someone from ATARI HQ here who listens to the users! in my eyes one of the biggest problems is that ATARI doesn't think outside the box and doesn't sell anything outside the USA. The USA ATARI community is big, BUT the ATARI community outside the USA is at least as big, I think much, much bigger! I wonder why ATARI doesn't have this in mind? I am from Europe / Germany, I am an ATARI enthusiast and collector since the eighties and I had been one of the first supporters and backers of the VCS crowdfunding campaign! I was also proud to see my VCS back in December 2020 under the Christmas tree😍! (It was like a Déjà vu - nearly the same feeling, like seeing my first "ATARI 130XE" in 1987 under the Christmas tree 😊) But the problem is, even if I can get friends, family or acquaintances excited, they can't buy a VCS or accessories in Europe! Also all the sales offers, "Black Friday" etc. that I always get by email from ATARI, are of NO use to me (!), because I can't order anything from them in Germany! Otherwise there are a few money-hungry vultures who buy in the USA and then offer the VCS in Germany for 700€ to 800€ then on Ebay. But that's not useful, because for that price nobody here would buy a VCS. The result is rather negative, people lose interest in the end. I know you're not the right person to vent my anger on, and I don't want my anger to hit you, but maybe you can pass on my thoughts to your marketing department, with the hope that they wake up, maybe 🙄? Cheers, andY

Would it be ok if I ask maybe a few noob questions here at the beginning? I'm trying to read up on the subject, but I think the insiders here can certainly explain it better than various websites 🙂. Cheers, andY

Thanks a lot, mate 😊! I´ll join soon👍! Cheers, andY

Yes! Thanks a lot😊! I am also very happy to find like-minded people here! The Nuon thread here on AA I would never have seen, if not "The Helper" would have made me aware of it on his website 😉! Cheers, andY

Thanks 👍! Yes, it was a seller / collector from Germany. However, he was a bit suspicious to me, but a friend of mine lives near the seller and therefore offered me, to test all things on the spot and to buy and pay only if there are no problems. And it all worked out best in the end😊! Cheers, andY

I do not want to hijack this thread, just wanted to say that since last Saturday I am the proud owner of a nice N501, incl. Controller and 12 physical games (4 original, 8 homebrews) in top condition 😍! I'm primarily into ATARI 8-bit, ST/TT/Falcon and JAG64, but Nuon - I have to confess to my shame - somehow never became seriously known to me, so my joy is all the greater, because now I could spontaneously make a really good deal😎. I am just about to read deeper into the matter and have already read a lot on the site "nuon-dome.com" and "Helper". This is a very exciting topic for me and a new chapter in my (Atari)history and I am happy, to be part of it now 😊! Cheers, andY

I still have from my youth, from the beginnings of my electronics career, still some real Russian EPROMs 😉. Picture just done, see attached: Cheers, andY

Hi Norbert, I´ve a lot of spare parts for any kind of ATARI computers and consoles... Where do you come from? If you´re located in a european country, so I guess, maybe I can help you... Cheers, andY

Sorry, for the late answer to your question. What you see there in the video is an "ATARI Megafile 44", a external Hard disk with a built-in SyQuest SQ555 drive (and 44MB removable disks). Here some pictures from the Megafile 44 (black version) and a 44MB cartridge: Cheers, andY

Not really sure, what you mean, but now I got it 😎. Cheers, andY

Seen last night: An old episode of "Friday the 13th" with Mickey, Ryan and Jack from 1987 😉. First season, episode 12, "Faith Healer". An ATARI ST and SM124 on a ship:
