Curt Vendel Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I am working now on the recap of the 20th Anniversary Reunion of the Atari 7800/GCC.... here is a little sneak peak of one of the many items that were on display, I finally had an opportunity tonight to take some better pictures of these items and also to go back to some of the other photo's and put in some captions and descriptions.

Curt Vendel Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 okay I will have the 20th anniversary recap up tomorrow, getting kinda late and I am not finished with the webpages yet, so in the meantime, here is another sneak peak... This is the proto of what the 7800 computer keyboard would become, it is working and I hope to finally be able to decypher the PIC MCU inner workings soon and see if a low cost replica can be made for everyone to try out and enjoy...

Has something changed recently that makes you think that you can do it now? The last I knew was that reproducing the MCU was to expensive so the only other option was to find the original source code to this chip and rewrite it for a less expensive/more modern one. Hopefully the GCC guys can help you out with this. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 okay I will have the 20th anniversary recap up tomorrow, getting kinda late and I am not finished with the webpages yet, so in the meantime, here is another sneak peak... What's the status on this? If it's up I can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Dennis, Its almost ready, I'm just waiting for 1 item to arrive from Steve Golson to add to the recap and I'm also in the process of updating the 7800 section all today, I promise this will all be up tonight.

Curt Vendel Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Okay, a few days late, but here is the 20th Anniversary recap... The delay was due to a new menu design for the Atari 7800 section of atarimuseum.com in general... Some new area's are being added and some subsections will also be updated as well, but the new 7800 Main Menu is up and the 20th Anniversary Reunion section is up as well... Enjoy the recap and photo's and I know come tomorrow morning there will be a lot of questions about one image in particular and I'll say this much now... the wirewrap proto is being worked on and because of some really funky stuff going on with it, emulation is VERY limited, but being worked out, some other items will be made available shortly... Just need a few more days (and a little sleep too http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/cons.../7800/7800menu/ Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracIsBack Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 You want it, SKU-U????? I thought that, in your eyes, the 7800 was the cause of all evil, while the 5200 would feed the world's hungry children if you let it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tomlin Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Just so people know, I finished the transcription of the panel Monday night, after a marathon session in which I finished the last 45% all at once. Curt has it right now to give it the necessary "guy who was there" editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Wonderful job Curt! I can't wait to see what else you add in the coming soon sections. Too bad some of those GCC programmers aren't working on new games. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
