+mytek Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Some like the one being Auctioned on Ebay ,, but some motherboards wiere sold.. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/186380-1450-xld-motherboard-build-assorted-questions/?p=2349640 Thanks rdea for the excellent link! It took me over an hour to read it from start to finish, but was well worth it. I just gotta say that was a very dedicated effort on Vandal's part, and quite the contribution he made to this community. The daughter board is the modem. The daughter board uses a TI modem chip. Some mother boards use a 74HC942 chip instead of the daughter board. The SC-01-A speech chip is above and to the left of the modem. Hi Kyle, thanks for the explanation. So the answer is NO to being able to just duplicate a module from this and stick it into something like a 1200XL. I guess what you and I discussed a while back will still need to be pursued at some point - Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 2nd bidder is the guy who won the 1090, will there be more than 10 bids and will it go for $3000-$5000? 13 hours to go. Will be interesting to watch the last 10 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So, it's a 1400xl and you priced it at $1400. I just checked now and it's up to $1450. Does that mean it gains 2 floppy drives, a 300 baud modem, a voice synthesizer, and a parallel disk interface? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 It has the modem and a voice synthesizer. The 1450 has a connector for a parallel disk controller. The 1450XLD has a built-in disk controller. 5K? Better not go that high. No telling what ebay will do if it exceeds my monthly maximum.

Justin Payne Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So other than the need for huge sums of money, why are you getting rid of it and keeping the 1200's? I mean, in the terms of an awesome collection, the 1200 is fine but it's no 1400xl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 They just sit in a box in my basement. Might as well let someone else use them. I use the 1200XLs - all the time. I have some old, old 1200s that I might sell. Or, an 815. Or, what would you like to see for sale? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 There's another up on ebay eBay Auction -- Item Number: 322227321151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 If it was here I might commit a few hundred... but I get the feeling this one will fetch a similar high price to Bob's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I hope it works, looks like a standard 800XL ingot power supply. I asked the seller to post a pic of it. Seller states: "My son bought this Atari 1400XL Computer at the Atari Store that sold and repaired computers in Sunnyvale, CA in the mid to late 1980's" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon375 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 There's another up on ebay eBay Auction -- Item Number: 322227321151 Hmmm.. that one seems odd.. The fonts on the computer logo seem wrong. Also wasnt it mentioned earlier in this thread that the 1400xl didnt have F3 & F4? This looks like a 1200xl that somebody slapped a home-made logo on to pass as a 1400xl.. I wouldnt bid unless I had better proof it WAS a 1400xl.

That looks completely bogus, but hey it could be a real 1400 XL motherboard jammed into a 1200 case and then completed with a DIY label. There were people assembling the motherboards that got sold by B&C, and I think BEST had some as well. But if that is the case, it wouldn't be worth anywhere near as much as a genuine 1400XL like the one Bob sold. Hmm... the PBI pass-thru looks good though, like factory. Very odd. - Michael Edited August 14, 2016 by mytekcontrols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
