I don't know the story behind it, but I doubt it was done with a 3D printer. I think this is a hack special with a combination of laptop and real XL case parts professionally "melded." This is the "ATARI 1500XL" project, made by User "Beetle" from the ABBUC forum.... The story behind you´ll find here (sorry, only in german language, but you can use "Deepl" or Google Trans): -> The ATARI 1500XL Laptop Gtx., andY 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Correct, it was built by @Beetle along side his 1450xld , real XL pieces "cut 'n' shut" and is a real Atari , not a laptop using an emulator Edited January 8, 2020 by mimo Added link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main goals was to keep native mode, do not make any drilling in the Atari body case, do not touch the Atari scheme https://camper-assistant.com/atrkb.html looks like can be used with 800 with not alot modification. Cool! For purposes of aesthetics, I’d use a 600XL for my 1088 keyboard, since the 600XL already looks like just a keyboard. As I’m trying to wire a 600XL as a PS/2 keyboard to be used in Atari native mode, do you have any tips on wiring? Are soldering points the same?

I think, comparing with my variant (for 65XE), need only three wires (red lines) to be rewired (for 600XE). All other differences in both J8s (about data lines) can be programmed in Arduino sketch. Need to try... Note: in my variant, keys Start, Select, Option, Reset, is not used as not applicable for PC. But for you it can be the block? Other note. This is method with no one wire required to be soldered to the Atari PCB soldering points. Edited January 8, 2020 by iot4c 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
