+davidcalgary29 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I have a broken Mega 4, a couple of spare 800XLs, and a modded 3.5" XF551. Would it be possible, given the available space in a Mega shell, to place a 800XL inside it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should contact Gunstar (akak Matthew Baker) for further details he is very good with electronics, and he might clue you in the right direcction for this recasing! BUT OVERALL VERY GOOD IDEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelen Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Great idea ! but I think it won't fit because the board of an 800 xl is too wide for the case... Thelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hmm...what about an 800XE board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelen Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 An 800 xe board will fit precisely(when looking from the outside of the mega case). if you hold the 800 xe board in front of the mega st case, you will see that there are on the left and right about 0.5 centimeter is left... post some pics when you're project has some progress !

Thelen Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 WOW That's a machine !!!! I think it's an 130 XE (or 65/800XE) with a pc in one tower ! That some great stuff How is it done with the monitor ? is the atari also switchable connected to a (s)vga pc monitor ? Thelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 And what about 8bit keyboard? How it is connected to that machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 you are right, inside the tower there is both PC & ATARI with 320k ram, there is a switch to share some of the devices between the ATARI & PC, like 3.5" drive, Speakers etc.. there is also a compositve to VGA converter to allow connecting a SVGA monitor and use it for both the ATARI & PC. if you look in the pictures.. there is an ATARI XL keyboard mechanic embeded in the PC shell, with the AKI keyboard interface.. that allows to connect a PC keyboard into the ATARI computer. so the same keyboard is been used for both PC & ATARI mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
