+Philsan Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I just discovered this product: http://www.plexilaser.de/shop/Acrylgehaeuse-fuer-ATARI-800XL-Teilesatz It seems you can make your personalized cases. It could be a solution for 1088XEL or Eclaire XL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Look nice, but I wonder how thick/tall the front end is...looks a bit taller than a stock 800XL... and isn't acrylic static prone? But I do like the case...and have an idea for for what to put in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Cool! I guess it's kinda mandatory to remove all internal shielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariNerd Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I always figured if Jay and the rest of the design crew had their full way with things, the extended Atari 8/ 16 bit line we remember (in dreams?), might look something a bit more like the offspring of an Atari 800 ( or XL) and the later Amiga 500 (ST is close, but...) Maybe, in a few years, after some community projects have gone through a couple of iterations, with some agreed upon standards for expansion (800 was intended to have card slots, in the fashion of Apple, at one point in its design life), I/O (storage and we now have MIDI, plus both of the period wavetable/synth sound-card standards, now accessible (!) , etc sorted through - something based around/modded off the A500 case, might serve us better.

Level42 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 OMG static box! how to kill an Atari in no time where I live! bad idea! It's TTL people.....not CMOS. I really like it, it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 really? I have nailed plenty of computers with static electricity.... it's not as tolerant as you think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mytek Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's TTL people.....not CMOS. I really like it, it looks great. Actually I was under the impression that it was NMOS which is not that far removed from CMOS, and should be handled with care. Now with that said, with all of the inline resistors and capacitors across the inputs, you would be pretty hard pressed to do damage to the chips once mounted in the motherboard. It's mainly an issue with loose chips that are out of circuit. - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 it is possible to get anti-static acrylic for not a whole bunch more than the standard stuff https://www.mcmaster.com/#static-control-acrylic/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 My go to plastic polish takes care of static as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiassofT Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's TTL people.....not CMOS.The DRAMs are CMOS. Not 100% sure about the MMU, but I guess it could be CMOS as well. Most upgrades you get these days use CMOS for most parts (PLDs, RAM, flash) as well. so long, Hias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
