Another Ataribox thread! Woot!

If we had an ataribox subforum, its fan(s?) would have their own place to discuss the hardware.

 

...and it would be a lot easier for everybody else to ignore the wave of "info" about it.

Buddy, I know you are new here and all but how about making posts like this in one of the other 72 Ataribox threads instead of starting another one?

What is this "Ataribox" that you guys are talking about? Never heard of such a thing!

Just slightly on topic many chip makers will gladly offer you parts with features you pick out of a box

 

Now that chip could be a cup or a gpu or a rom with a realtime clock

Fixed that for you.

In what sort of quantities? Hobbyist quantities?

[Osgeld]

usually no

 

but it doesnt take a lot to get a local rep and say "we are going to produce 10,000 units of vaporX" and get back a sure we can do that let me just file this request (in the bottom of my trunk) boom "we have custom hardware FTW!!!"
