JohnBuell Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Here's a couple of what I think have been the coolest. Thanks to Santa Bob and Santa Mark for a couple of these First is the GORGEOUS 1200XL from Bob. Thank you! Next is Mark's AWESOME RGB converter box, connecting an SC1224 and a 130XE, and running one of my all time favorite games! Lastly, some items I got recenly from an eBay auction that I thought were interesting. First is a pair of AMIGA joysticks. I knew they made them to fund Amiga development, but I had never seen or owned any...until now! Next is some of the boxed software I got, and another item I hadn't seen before, a GE computer recorder! It's actually pretty neat. It's a light weight tape recorder that comes with an adapter box that plugs into standard jacks, and has a special data port on the back of the adapter, and a SIO-data port cable. One thing I'd LIKE to try is to find out if it can be totally run off of batteries! It looks like it could...wouldn't that make for an interesting Atari XL laptop peripheral? As I wrap up for the year, I want to take a moment to thank Jon, Bob and Mark again, and everyone else on these forums who've been supportive in my return to my 8-bit hobby (addiction). You guys have all been great, the advice is fantastic, and the hardware and software development is still top notch! Atari Forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sigh, I soo wanted a 1200 and a 1450, we had them in our catalogue just before we pulled out of Atari and other home computers. The dribble factor was high, sadly they never appeared here anyway.. Jealous.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNIXcoffee928 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, this is my Merriest Christmas since I was a kid, and got those cool GI Joe Adventure Team setups...

flashjazzcat Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Great photos John. That SC1224 looks particularly sweet. Nice to see the SIO2SD box has settled in as well. It's a pleasure to see these gadgets being used and enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clearly demonstrates the dangers of improperly earthed PSUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
