bovik Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Count me in! I'll take one for an NTSC 800XL and one for a PAL 130XE. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 please, check Your order status - if anyone was omitted - let me know to all that didn't pay for the boards already - sooner the better, but there are few days before preorders closes (and so the payments should) if anyone has some troubles, is short on cash at the moment - just let me know currently i've managed to purchase THS8134B and EP1K50TC144 - the other one was not fully covered by money i've received so far i would not want to wait for part for 8 or 12 weeks, so i had to rush things a bit Sebastian current preorder list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSparky Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Candle has class and I know he won't ask this, but if you're from the USA, please add 4% to your total if sending via PayPal. The exchange fees etc. take 4% out of his share. He does a great job in doing these batches, let's make sure he is properly compensated for his hard work.

StefanD Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The VBXE demos I saw last weekend are fantastic! I'll take one PAL XL and one PAL XE, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl7ukk Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi candle please 1x PAL XL and ...........1x PAL XE dl7ukk (at) darc (.) de thanks Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+rdemming Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Candle, I want another one too for my PAL 800 XL without Freddy chip. And also a simple stereo + IO board if they become available. Do I understand it correctly that if you have no Freddy chip, you need to provide the 14.xxx crystal yourself since the correct crystal is not on the motherboard?

candle Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 thats right Robert - for NTSC users its easier, as VBXE comes with crystal build in, but PAL users either need to buy it at Best Electronics, or source it from dead XE system in previous preorder thread i've informed that i found some crystal manufacturer in Poland that is willing to make even small series of crystals of any value reuqired - including Atari ones - but there was no intrest in that then Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 tfhh from ABBUC found some time ago a hint in the ABBUC-forum that you still find a crystal oscilator with 14,187576 MHz at Darisus. The ordering-number is QOM014,1875 . So, I order another VBXE2 for a 800XL without Freddy. Sleeπ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 true, but it should be noted, that, regardless of what the name says, its generator rather than oscillator, and its in dip-14 case - it would fit into XE or XEGS boards, but for XL one need to piggy-back solder it somewhere near VBXE, and connect it as it is mentioned in VBXE2 installation guide for XEGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sleepy: if You still want another VBXE just PM me (having all things considered that is) as usual, here is updated preorder list and again, if anything is wrong with this list - just let me know few people have confirmed their payments, but they didn't arrived yet, so just wait for a day or two (mostly that would be bank transfers) if anything else doesn't match - shout loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syfo-Dyas Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 few people have confirmed their payments, but they didn't arrived yet, so just wait for a day or two (mostly that would be bank transfers) if anything else doesn't match - shout loud Oh, I didn't know payments were due yet.

candle Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Syfo-Dyas: i'm pretty sure not to omit anyone while sending PM about payment detais, so please check your PM box on AA, if still no luck - just let me know preorder closes 5th of may, and this is final date for the payements - if someone needs more time - sure, but i need to know this - sooner the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Update: in post #59 I wrote that you can get the crystal oscilator with 14,187576 MHz for the XE at Darisus. I tried to order some, but unfortunately they´re not longer available. :-( (happily I got one piece so that I can put a vbxe into my XL) Sleepy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1k Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 im so sorry, but 105 euro is too much for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 im so sorry, but 105 euro is too much for me.. Same here, although the boards are worth every last penny. Shame, since I would have put one in my 600XL. Hard times at the moment, and any spare cash I get is going on Candle's 1MB RAM upgrade.

IndusGT Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Just so that we're sure if you have an NTSC XL with a PAL chip, which board should you order? And do I need the above mentioned crystal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 on what frequency it runs? i mean exact frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndusGT Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 on what frequency it runs? i mean exact frequency I am not technical at all, but here in the US so we can run all the european software we take an NTSC XL an put this chip from best electronics in: CO21698 creating a hybrid xl apparently it is 50 Hz display.

candle Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) so basically, one would have to replace NTSC Antic, with its PAL counterpart? no other modifications required? or should i say GTIA? Edited May 1, 2010 by candle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hello Candle This is the upgrade IndusGT is talking about. greetings Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks Mathy it seems that all it does is running PAL ANTIC chip on NTSC system with NTSC system clock, thus for this VBXE2 for NTSC system would be reuqired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
