joeventura Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just curious as I walked up to my work table last night and saw my Multi I/O hooked to my 800XL waiting for my Rodime SCSI drive to come in so I could test it and my two ATR8000s that I need to test, was wondering what was sitting on your workbench? What Atari stuff are you tinkering with, what project do you have underway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bripilot Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I just ordered my first 32 in 1 OS, a new APE XP, and a new happy board from Steve. Once they arrive, that's what will be on my bench. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatohead Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Propeller dev system. Atari 400, 16K. 7800, Supercharger, some audio gear, USB gadgets and either a win32 laptop, or the Ubuntu tower, which ever seems to be more handy at the time. Oh yeah, lots of older books, datasheets, etc... Don't look at them much these days, but I feel better knowing they are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
