V-Cool Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hi, it looks like people used to sell the 8 bit basic on a chip but it looks like much of that has dried up. Anyone still have a source for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It can be burned onto a suitable Eprom and it's not in really high demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 You don't say what you want to use the IC in. (?) You can burn it into a commonly available 2764 eprom and then use an 24 to 20 pin adapter. Or you can still buy the Rev C cartridge from BEST for $20 + shipping (note minimum order may apply). Or you can put the rom image on a multi cart. Or use a PILL or similar device. Or you can put an ad here to buy one from a "parts" computer, although you're much more likely to be able to get a Rev B. But there are a lot of scrap 130XE's out there.

1050 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) If you wanted to start now you could just load this file (after unzipping) using DOS. It's a file substitute, but works fine anyway.

Anyone still have a source for this? Are you still looking for a genuine Atari Rev C ROM chip? I have a few I put in the original brown Atari BASIC cartridges that had two 4KB Rev A ROMs. The old brown BASIC cart is socketed for the two 4KB ROMs, but in Atari's infinite wisdom, an 8KB ROM in the right socket works so I pulled the two 4KB ROMs and replaced the right one with the 8KB 24 pin Rev C ROM. Works great. No modifications needed to the cart (i.e. no trace cuts or no added wires), just pop it in. It's in a socket, so you can just remove it an put it in a 800XL to replace the Rev B. PM me if you're interested, I could easily sell a few ($30 installed in a brown BASIC cartridge). Edited April 10, 2023 by ACML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
