I heard — from an Atari employe on the Atari discord — is that Atari is looking for a new manufacture and are selling off stock until they found one.

leech Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 what kind of screen are you using to connect it to? Sounds like maybe it is at a refresh rate / resolution that cannot be handled by your current screen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Jusat opened my VCS which I got yesterday. It has a 2021 OS image on it and the first thing I did was go into the BIOS. The celebrate password worked out of the box for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it will stop working after the BIOS update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know this response is a little late, but for all those who may still come here and have the latest Atari OS as of this date, the password as stated earlier in this thread is Atar!C3l3br8te$50Ye4r$ . You will need to delete this password and leave the field blank to make any future changes unless you just like entering the password. This will work fine until the next update, when likely Atari will institute a new BIOS password. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeSearcher Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I know this has been asked a thousand times...but what key do you press to get to the bios? I have my original backer VCS which upgraded itself to the most recent OS and I've held down the ESC key and the Delete key separately to no avail. I think I tried Alt-delete too. Search brought up many, many threads but everyone just skips over that part since it's common knowledge except for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiATIon Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 You have to press the ESC key with a wired keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I guess I had remove the password right after I received it. I was able to make the speed changes. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I press ESC key with my wireless keyboard all the time (of course a wireless keyboard still has a USB dongle so there is no difference whether it has a wire or not). Only trouble I've had is not pressing it at the right time, so I repeatedly press it and one of those is at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah As long as it's a wireless USB, it will work, A bluetooth keyboard would not. That might be the confusion in the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
