Panther Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That's 40 (dropping the fraction)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Nice! looks like we're good to go. Just waiting for Sebastian to wake up. Maybe his baby will wake him up early I'd like to add, if anyone else wants in, please subtract their qty from mine. 10 is o.k., but less is better (I'd like to end up with 3 for my own use.)

Panther Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 And I really only need two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That's cool. Then in the interest of fairness, I suggest additional orders are subtracted from the person that has the most extras first until equality is reached with the next higher order, and subsequent qtys are subtracted equally. Sound good to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Well, that means it's unlikely I'll be receiving less than six, but that's fine. So, are they ready to ship yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1024 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If there are any left I would love one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoughtcatcher Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I would also take one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Not to hijack your thread Dragos, but I went ahead and put together an updated interest count tally. Yes: ==== Dragos 2 TheEditor 1 (maybe 2) Dragon375 2 MrMartian 2 Stormbringer 1 Foster 1 Archon800 1 corkentellis 1 Joe Stella 10 (ideally 3) Britishcar 1 Mechanicjay 1 Panther 6 (ideally 2) BigFOX 1 vazquezrick 1 Chris Strong 3 Ransom 1 Grizaptimus 1 (maybe 2 if $) redman 1 eeun 1 Jason1024 1 Thoughtcatcher 1 TOTAL 40 Maybe: ====== Subby 1 (if he has the $) Android8675 1 (if there is a run) ApolloBoy 1 (if he has the $) orpheuswalking 1 (if it comes in purple) I went through the thread, recounting and adjusting the numbers. The total I put down is solid commitments, with possible increases and decreases, as well as a "maybe" section. I don't know if the maybes have the $, and I couldn't tell if Android8675 and orpheuswalking wanted one or not. So depending on the maybes, the number might adjust. Panther and I have both expressed interest in reducing our numbers as possible. The minimum total here is 40. More are of course welcome. What do you think Sabastian? What's next?

+Firedawg Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This is a fantastic high quality board made by candle that will truly give your Atari 800 new life. I own one and have installed two for some friends. It will be well worth the wait when these boards get produced and are in your A800s.

Kyle22 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It is one of the highest quality boards I have ever seen. I LOVE mine. -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android8675 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 You can put me on the no list, if I got one it'd just be to jack up the price on ebay... haha kidding, but seriously, don't count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Firedawg Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Edited comment - Thanks Panther! My apologies to Android8675 for assuming his response as negative. Received post via my phone and responded without further knowledge. Shall not go down that road again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think he just meant to be taken off the "maybe" list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android8675 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Seriously, is there a no list? It's good to know that Android8675 wants to be on the 'no list', now we know he is not interested in the device. lol I think he just meant to be taken off the "maybe" list... Edited comment - Thanks Panther! My apologies to Android8675 for assuming his response as negative. Received post via my phone and responded without further knowledge. Shall not go down that road again! Yeah, I wouldn't of posted to be taken off a list that I wasn't on in the first place. I was originally going to buy another Incognito (I got one of the first sets) because I saw you guys having trouble getting the necessary 40 minimum. Glad someone stepped up and got 10, and since I probably would of just resold my board for a profit I removed myself. Thank god I get email notifications when people respond to my posts so I can seethe in anger for a few moments. Kinda breaks up the monotony of my day. Apology, grudgingly accepted.

Thanks for the recap of my postings, so very kind of you to re-post. Do not accept anything grudgingly, its not being pushed on you. As to anger, no anger at all, just dismayed, then a correction made by me, that is what a man does when he is wrong. You find it necessary to drag it through the streets, well if that is your thing then have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android8675 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Na, i'm good. Just a nice Seethe to wake me up from a rather humdrum boring day back at the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMartian Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hmm... I'm guessing that it might be time for me to start looking at doing that switching power supply design for the 800 that I've always thought of.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 How do you mean MrMartian? What is the advantage to that? Higher capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartian Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The current regulators are standard linear regulators... They bleed off the voltage as heat.. A switcher turns the power on and off to regulate.. So, the long and the short is, less heat. Longer life for the whole thing, since it's not doing heat-cool cycles all the time..

BillC Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hmm... I'm guessing that it might be time for me to start looking at doing that switching power supply design for the 800 that I've always thought of.. All that's really needed is to replace the 7805 with something like the Murata OKI-78SR-5/1.5-W36-C, which is rated for 1.5A. On an Incognito upgraded machine there shouldn't be any reason to replace the 7812/7905 since AFAIK the 4116 RAM chips on the 16K boards were the only 800 components requiring +12V/-5V, which is the reason they aren't required for the XL/XE machines.
