boxpressed Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Title pretty much says it all. I need a POKEY for a 5200 but have no soldering skills. Ballblazer is cheaper than Commando, so I thought I'd go that route. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The POKEY is soldered in both Ballblazer and Commando. I don't think there is quite enough clearance inside Atari's 7800 cartridges to permit a socketed POKEY (at least not in the area where the POKEY is located). Besides, Atari was probably too cheap to put a 40-pin socket in every cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks all. I think I'll have to browse through Best's catalog to come up with the additional items to get to the minimum order amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Brad at Best is great and has lots of awesome stuff, and alot of it is inexpensive.You order it, he ships it that day. I just bought a brand new 800xl mainboard for $39.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
