dstone Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'd be interested in a 1050 or two, I've been running cart-only on my 800xl and would like to explore the system some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 No, not really. Everyone seems to want a 1200XL, though. I also have 800s and 1050s. (810s, even) Bob Mystic Orpheus the oracle predicts... BOB's PM box has EXPLODED! I updated my PM to you, several items I'm interested in depending on shipping.

+bob1200xl Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 How about a 600XL? I seem to have more than a few of those... What would you put on the PBI? Bob I could use a stock 800XL with working PBI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 There seem to be a lot of 1200XL requests out there... If we get too many, I'll have to try to inventory what I have. There could be 30, there could be 80 - I dunno. I know there are 'many' that will never be used. No point in wasting them, but a complete inventory would take a long time. Maybe I could just pull 20 or so to keep and pass out any others that I come accross. (not counting the NIB units) The Epson printers are mostly wide-carriage models. Bob I could use a NIB 1200XL if you have any left or a 1200XL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been (and plan to start again) running tests using MIO(s) with modified firmware (Warerat's 1.4.0) and larger SCSI drives. My current setup is an ICD 1MEG MIO with a 4GB Seagate SCSI drive on it. I had LOTS of stability problems with my 800XL's on this type of setup. All of the XL's I tested were unstable but as MG66 pointed out in another thread, had some type of modification in them, be it a Rambo, APE 32n1 OS, Video mods or MegHz 512K RAM. Right now I am unable to find a stock 800XL with a working PBI port in "My Attic". I have 2 stock ones but both PBI ports are non-functioning. I also want to expand this testing into 2 other MIOs I have (1 ICD 256k and 1 MG66 1 megger). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Bob, We are close neighbors. I could certainly help you clean out that attic, if you want. I have no specific requests, just would like to get at a complete kit for A8 computing. All of my stuff is currently in my parent's basement. Its hidden amongst all the other accumulated clutter of over 35 years of occupancy. Let me know. We can exchange phone numbers by PM.

Divya16 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Looks like about $46 to mail a 16x15x3" 1200XL to Aus... so if the price is right, it could be doable. He didn't mention any price so I guess it's free + shipping & handling. I guess if he got rid of most of his 1200XLs, he my have to change his AtariAge user ID to something else. Put me in the queue for 1200XL. My relative can pick it up; he's in Sunnyvale, CA. Or an Atari 800 if they are not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Not to worry. I'll keep a couple of dozen 1200XLs. I need more than a few so I can modify them and try different upgrades and such, which used to hack them up pretty good. Now, I do mods without serious, no backout changes. This means I can re-use a 1200XL again and again. I even have blank plastic that I can cut up, saving the original cases. I'm making a list from requests in this thread but I can't say how many of anything are available at the moment. Like I said, I may fill 'orders' as I find more hardware.

tschak909 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 i would like a 1200XL, if possible. am in US. I'm reducing my storage capacity and have a whole bunch of monitors and printers. Mostly mono monitors, Epson FX printers, some DeskJets, a few HP laser printers (III & IIID, 4MV - that kind of stuff) (an HP 7475 plotter?) I also seem to have more 1050s, 800s, and 1200XLs than I am allowed under the Geneva Convention. The monitors and printers will go to e-waste. The 8-bit stuff will get stored, although I think it would be best if some of it, at least, found a home where it might be used by someone.

Goochman Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bob - I would take a 1200XL also if there is enough to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yeah, put me down for a 1200XL too. Any idea on price yet? I'm imagining that a look into Bob's attic is kinda like that last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the ark is being stored in a giant warehouse, only it's all Atari stuff.

People like you are needed in Atari scene and forums. If you haven't trashed the HP Laser printers, my relative wants a couple; he's into PCs although he still plays Atari 800 pac-man and Joust.

+bob1200xl Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I hope you live close because the LaserJets weigh a ton.

Shawn Jefferson Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm still looking for an 810, do you have one you want to sell? What's the "going rate" nowadays for one of those things? Expensive to ship I bet! (I'm in Canada, west coast). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 If you still have any 810's left I would like one, it's the one Atari made floppy drive I don't have for my collection, although I figure my Percom AT88-S1 is a close cousin. I live on the right continent, and even fairly close to the west coast, but Vernon, BC is just a little bit north of you. I would have requested a 1200XL as well if I hadn't acquired 3 on eBay earlier this year, but I figure that is enough for me. I'm also sending a PM. Bill No, not really. Everyone seems to want a 1200XL, though. I also have 800s and 1050s. (810s, even) Bob Mystic Orpheus the oracle predicts... BOB's PM box has EXPLODED!

Of course I will refund you all shipment etc. costs. Thank you, Tomasz Piórek / electron Edited August 31, 2010 by electron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizWor Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Bob, for the monitors and printers, consider recycling through best buy. Here in New Hampshire, they charge $10 per unit with a limit of two per day, BUT they give you a $10 gift card for each. I just cleared out all of my CRTs except for one 36" tv. I'd love to have a working, unmodified 1200xl or two if total cost to ship to 03819 is not too much. Please pm me when you determine price.

+bob1200xl Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 I just dumped a dozen old monitors and a couple of LJIIIs for free, actually. Places like SVDP make a few bucks apiece from re-cycling them. Good thing... I'd go broke if I had to pay for getting rid of this stuff.
