JokerCPoC Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 835 Direct Connect Modem featuring the simplest circuit board design I've seen in a long time (single layer, single sided) Thinking about Atari's product numbering scheme, does anyone know what the Atari 840 was supposed to be? I've never heard of an Atari 840, So If It existed, It didn't get too far before being killed, Even Google couldn't find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qix_maniac Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I believe you only have enough 1050s if you stack them up and it hits the ceiling! Hmmm... you'd need a stepladder to COPY D47:*.* D1: hahahaha! thanks for the good laugh! My wife's looking at me like I'm nuts and I told her this is funny and she's like "D47:*.* D1:" what the heck is that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rchennau Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I picked up another 1010 in a box. I don't have one in a box. I wanted one in a box. My goal is to have one of all the things I want in a box. Which reminds me. Candle does the VBXE2 come in a box?

I had my eye on that one. As I recall, someone else here had their eye on the boxed 1010 I bought back in June/July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Not from ebay, not Atari related (however you can find few sentences regarding A8), but I would love to have a similar 548-pages book dedicated to Atari (in fact the pages dedicated to Commodore will be more because in 2012 a second book dedicated to Amiga days will be published): http://www.variantpress.com/books/on-the-edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAtarian Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just grabbed a PC card adapter for the Portfolio. I don't know how much longer these things are going to be available so if I ever want to do anything with the Portfolio at all at this point I am going to need some way to transfer files to it.

flashjazzcat Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Not A8, and without cable or PSU, but for 99p seemed too good to miss for the case alone: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Not A8, and without cable or PSU, but for 99p seemed too good to miss for the case alone: Now you need to get the HxC Floppy Emulator and hack it into that case, all professional-like as you did the XM301 and SIO2SD. Then you need to add a switch to your ST so you can toggle and swap the internal/external drives. Then post the detailed pics you took on your blog. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 It would probably be more useful to me enclosing some kind of A8 peripheral. I have an UltraSatan for the ST, not that I use it much at present... Weekend's going well: 9.99GBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make an awesome case to cut up and use with an SIO2SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JokerCPoC Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 a little thing .... 1450 mother board I used to own one, they fit with some modifications for the PBI bus into a 1200XL case and I'd used the biggest 1200XL power supply I could find, Also a 120XL keyboard works too, Of course It's long gone.

svenski Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just playing with a recently arrived boxed 130XE and XC12 - both are somewhat suntanned Decathlon is loading - years since I ever loaded anything from tape Also a boxed 800XL and 1010 which will try in a bit. The 800XL came in the original Atari pack outer box (the XL+1010+Joystick+Games bundle) and the boxes and manuals are immaculate however the computer itself was filthy. Will try and do some pics, also need to do one of my Astra 2001. Nice: Decathlon has finished loading - time for some joystick bending action!
