Zach's Projects - Building a batari dumper?

[RSS Bot]

If the design is really as simple as shown below, and if it could actually work, this could be a good electronics project for a beginner like myself. It seems to be just a matter of attaching wires.

 

If the dumper is safe, I can think of a certain undumped Charlie Brown prototype that resides here in Northern California. It was batari who first suggested the idea of using a switch to make his dumping program work safely, although what he described is a little different.

 

 

I already have the AA board and batari's dumper program on an EPROM. I believe a cartridge slot can be purchased without much difficulty. Although an Atari board is easy to find, removing the chip will be some work. I don't know if such a thing as a 48-24 multiplexor with a switch exists, or if multiplexor is technically the correct term, but I think you can figure out what I mean. So what do you think? Would it work? Would it be safe?
