Muzz73 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 As I understand it, the latest run of Incognito boards have begun shipping out. I am wondering if anyone ordered extra boards, just to see the run happen. If so, would you sell me one? I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Many thanks!

Android8675 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I would just sell mine if I didn't think it one of the most valuable pieces of Atari Hardware I've ever owned. Good luck dudes/dudettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have one that I never installed into my 800. I don't think I'm ever going to install it. I have an Ultimate1 for my 130XE anyways and I'd like to use the money to get some more Atari 8-bit programs to archive. PM me with an offer. Whoever buys it will not only have an Incognito, but they also will know they are contributing to archiving more Atari 8-bit software.

Hyperboy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What was the original price on the incognito? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What was the original price on the incognito? Mostly patience 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What was the original price on the incognito? With shipping, I paid approx $85 for 1 on the first run, but these are worth 2 to 3 times as much Workmanship in these are top notch...

MrMartian Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 And, now that I have mine and have played with it for a whole day (!!!) I'd say a) priceless, b) never gonna give it up.... Thanks Candle!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 And, now that I have mine and have played with it for a whole day (!!!) I'd say a) priceless, b) never gonna give it up.... Thanks Candle!! Yep, same here... I have 1 Incognito in an 800 with the full install, (including the Disk Swap Button under the Power Light and IDE access light). My Incognito Proto Board or spare Incognito Board will eventually be installed in my original 800 that I bought in 1981. The board that I don't use in that one will be a backup (Just in case)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me - I need to get around to doing the disk swap and IDE LED mods to my Incognito 800. I have started finally using it as my daily machine for the past 2 weeks, and am loving the keyboard on this beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 That reminds me - I need to get around to doing the disk swap and IDE LED mods to my Incognito 800. I have started finally using it as my daily machine for the past 2 weeks, and am loving the keyboard on this beast. Cool, the disk swap switch can be a bit tricky to add. I found some micro push switches at the local electronics store (now gone) that have a taller shaft and used the tip of my soldering iron to melt a small sliver out of one side of the Power Light Diffuser where the shaft would rest in and used a small pocket knife to clean the excess melted plastic. Used some super-glue to mount the switch to the power board (after cutting the traces needed to separate the connections for the two LED's). I used a high intensity Yellow LED for the power display and a high intensity Red LED for the IDE activity. It shows as Orange when active. Thinking of changing that to a high intensity Blue LED to show as Green during IDE activity instead... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 There are instructions on Candle's site for adding the button without altering the appearance of the 800 at all, using the actual power LED's light conductor as the button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The clear diffuser still needs one side of it to be shaved down so it can be raised a little so that a micro switch can be mounted underneath of it and traces do need to be cut in order to separate the contact pad to solder the IDE activity LED's power. Other than that, the external appearance of the 800 remains the same, except for the slightly raised diffuser that now acts as the switch...

flashjazzcat Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) ..Yes: as I said, the appearance of the machine remains completely unaltered. Edited February 22, 2015 by flashjazzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) And I never said it would be altered, my previous post just explains what needed to be done in my case of the taller switch, I did go by the instructions on Candle's site ...

flashjazzcat Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Since no link has yet been posted, I thought it might be preferable to any synopsised version for those who aren't aware of the original guide and might be nonplussed by all the smileys.
