Rom Collector Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Pretty cool. With all those I.C.s, this must of cost Atari a few bucks to make. Probably pulled a few amps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrond Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Has anyone removed the POP rom and read it? Wondering if I should do that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrond Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Experts, help please. I did find my cable. Is this original or did someone make it. The buttons do not look like other POP buttons that I have seen. It halfway looks like a factory job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Jeff, I did not know you started a thread on AA.. that set up looks like the one on my sears panel, which is a bit different (wires, connectors) then the Atari ones. hard to tell from your picture but it looks like buttons are the same. I'm having a hard time getting to my power supply (it's well blocked off for me to get to) or I would be able to answer that question from your e-mail. maybe Jose or Lee will be able to answer this question.

Rick Weis Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I asked 3 of my friends and I just heard back from one right now. (still waiting to hear from the others to 100% confirm) this was his answer:I believe it is the same as the atari 800 ps... same as the disc drive.. AC.. not DC. https://www.google.com/search?q=atari+800+power+supply&client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us&source=lnms&prmd=sivn&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiG_9Oi3IHSAhUW_mMKHbulD_QQ_AUICCgC&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=4#imgrc=eTyJ_2x-OsindM: if I hear from the others I'll let you know..

jeffrond Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm interested in finding one of these setups. how did you come acrossed it may I ask great pics If you are asking me, it has been 25 years since I put it in storage. I bought it years ago and I think it was from a local pawn shop that is now out of business. But my mind is pretty fuzzy on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bow830 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 If you ever are interested in selling the Atari kiosk board I would love to buy it. I had a kiosk due to money I had to sell. Since then I have acquired a lot of parts and pieces to the kiosk. Thank You Laurence allatari.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrond Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Ok, I am starting to work on this again and I need help. I bought an old $5 TV from the thrift shop, and plugged it in. Initially I had static on the screen. I noticed some of the legs on the processor chips were crusty. I popped out the chips and cleaned the legs. Now I get an all black screen. sometimes on power up I get a few blue/green horizontal lines. At this point I was thinking it was the POP rom chip. I removed that and tried to read it on a Minipro TL866A programmer. I tried to load that in an emulator and nothing. Black screen. Any ideas if this programmer will really read an Atari rom chip? I popped out another game chip from the board and tried to read that, but I get absolutely nothing when I try and read that. No data at all! I would like to make sure I am reading chips properly, then I would like to compare my POP chip rom with someone elses rom to make sure I didn't have bit damage. Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrond Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Ok, cleaning legs on the chips worked! I now have a functional POP unit. But again, I would like to get a copy of the POP rom out there for people. At some point in the future, these chip could be gone forever.

Keatah Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I bet this is it. I can't verify it because Stella doesn't support it. And I certainly don't have a kiosk board. As far as reading your rom, it looks like a standard eprom and any programmer should be fine.

jeffrond Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Right. You have to sit and wait and sooner or later it will cycle to the copyright screen and then the game selection menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
