foft Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I made some extra boards in the last prototype run of the EclaireXL, since most of the cost is setup cost. We have now received and tested the boards, so have about 10 of these spare to sell. The price is 250USD (or equivalent) + shipping (22 EUR to US, 20 EUR to EU). As a reminder of the features: Highly compatible Atari 800 XL clone Memory configuration from 64K to 1MB (including antic bank switched 'compy shop' modes and non-antic bank switch 'rambo' modes) CPU accelerator built in, runs at up to 16x original speed Stereo pokey Covox Original ports: 4 joystick ports with input/output (2 of which support paddles), SIO port, PBI port, cartridge socket. USB keyboard and joystick support SD card drive emulation software Cartridge emulation hardware Built in turbo freezer Built in USB SIO2PC High resolution support (2x and 4x colour clock antic/gtia allowing 320x200 gtia modes and colour 80x24 text modes). Note this seems to work fairly well now but the features is still in development. ADC for SIO and PBI audio input, for authentic SIO cable loading noise! PAL/NTSC switchable Operating system stored in on-board flash chip (no need for SD card) RGB 15KHz and VGA 31KHz output DVI output (via HDMI socket) Svideo and composite output All in a standard mini-itx form factor The hardware has lots of capacity of additional features, for example you can expect in the next few years 65816 support. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Worth taking a look of how it can look, when installed in a nice box! http://atariage.com/forums/topic/267845-my-eclairexl-a-salute-to-the-atari-400-my-first-atari-computer + Some of Nir's great videos are worth a watch Edited May 22, 2018 by foft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santosp Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Hi and from Me! Adding some more "analogue" information, in this little miracle they work... 1. Atari Cassette players, read/write. 2. Atari Floppy Drives read/write. 3. New era SIO devices like SIO2SD, SDRIVE etc.... 4. Many many original and home-brew cartridges. 5. Original joysticks, paddles, Atari and Koala pads. 6. On board FTDI ic for direct connection with PC via USB port. Aspeqt program can be used as interface. 7. Ability to write the firmware directly from SD card, if Altera/Intel programmer doesn't exist. And very soon the Atari OS permanently installed on it flash rom, so no SD card required to boot out of the box! This is what I call 'A board with Atari Soul".

foft Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 is this ready to go or some kind of kit? Ready to go, well need to screw together the two boards and plug in the interface cable. Then (optionally) put it in a mini-itx case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledDog Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 10 reserved/sold Actually there is one more probably but we need to fix something on it I think... I will take this last one if it comes available. PM inbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 11 reserved/sold (of which 3 paid). The last one is subject to some extra testing working out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledDog Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Sounds good, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Alternatively, if one of your reservations doesn't complete the sale consider me on the waiting list (hopefully first on the list.) Had no idea these would go so fast! A testament to the system!
