Any ideas as to who makes it? Is there a better picture of it? The picture in the post is too small alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller just called it : Custom LCD Color monitor w/sound Hang on... That's not an airline seat-back entertainment screen, is it? The white bezel certainly fits that sort of environment. As for the rest, it looks semi-handmade. The speakers are interesting in how they appear to be integrated. Hmm. OK, probably not airline hardware, but it certainly has that feel to it, at least in part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Carter Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 12 hours ago, _The Doctor__ said: I think this one is not on AtariMania etc. so a dump and schematic of dongles attached as a text file might be cool. I recently picked up a SIO2PC cable so I'll have a dabble at the software. The dongle on the other hand is way beyond my skillset to work out - don't think there's any way to dismantle it without destroying it. It appears to have been epoxied together.

Simon Carter Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Caught these two in the wild, U4 is missing a map, but that's not world ending. Apshai works fine on both Atari/C64, and U4 seems to be working well enough. Well happy to have these in the stable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is kind of lucky, it doesn't fit in an XE, only 400/800/XL, due to the recessed nature of the XE joystick ports. I'll have a go at dumping the disk when I have time. You can tell a lot more work went into the C64 version, right down to an 8 minute rolling demo of the software in action. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, 1064s don't come up to the full height of the case, so it's definitely not them. looks like an ingot shell 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 First Atari-related purchase on eBay in a good while: a pretty clean Heavy Sixer, but a bit of a rarity in that it’s a Heavy made in Taiwan. I’m looking forward to getting it open and taking a peek inside. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Carter Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Finally managed to get hold of a decently priced XEGS. Been looking for one for ages, bit concerned about the lack of a monitor port, but could be time to get hold of some upgrades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Nope, can't remember where to get them) I seem to recall that someone was working on a 3D-printed replacement for the cylinder that holds the pens; it was intended to be able to hold something that is currently-available. Can't remember specifics either, but if I can dig them up I'll add them to the thread. The pens are the one thing keeping mine from being usable, so this is something that's certainly of interest to me. Had one of these when they were current and would love to see it working again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reifsnyderb Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I just got another 1050 off of ebay. 🙂 The buyer wanted $25 and I offered $15. Offer accepted! Hopefully it's repairable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385662532010 If I can get it working, I'll put a Happy 7.1 in it. 😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
