+MrFish Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Here's a little Axlon catalog I got with a program. Sweet... I like seeing these hardware catalogs. Hardware upgrades don't get the attention to documentation that they deserve. Edited December 2, 2018 by MrFish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillC Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Don't forget about this! I have a 400 with this version, but I prefer the Mosaic upgrade that give access to all 64k via bank switching. Mosaic 64K: https://www.atariarchives.org/creativeatari/The_Mosaic_64K_RAM_Card.php The closest I have seen is tf_hh's 48/52KB card(non-commercial), it doesn't include the Mosaic's bank switching circuitry but it does include a socket for an alternate OS. The good news is this upgrade is still available by contacting tf_hh.

ClausB Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Here's a little Axlon catalog I got with a program. Allan In 1981 I bought the Axlon 32K board for my 400. It was called RAM-Cram then, presumably before they hired a marketing guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helps Yes, I'm interested in photos for any of them. I appreciate the pictures. It's good to have pictures of the boards (both sides if possible) and straight-on photos or scans of the packaging. As Allan said, the manual has already been scanned. So we have that part of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just solved a mystery for me as I have one of those and without any markings I've never been able to find any info on it. You are the only person I know who has one as well. Could you possibly scan the pages and post them? I would like to be able to print them out to put with the board. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Magna Systems, these were done by a guy out of Brooklyn, NY. Bought this new at the time. I have to try and locate the manual for it. Its an Axlon compatible 16/256k board. It was supposed to go into slot #3, but there was a way to mod slot #2 and place it there which is what I did, because I have a FullView 80 BIT -3 card in Slot #3. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see all these different boards that people have. According to the FAQ, it looks like Magna Systems made 512 KB and 1 MB modules too (no surprise with all those unpopulated spots).

According to the FAQ, it looks like Magna Systems made 512 KB and 1 MB modules too. I don't know about the 512K, but at the time I think his name was Joe, was offering just the 256k and the 1mb. I could'nt afford the 1mb version but the 256k was in my budget and its been a great board. It shipped with MyDos 4.53/R and had the ramdisk support for the board and worked like a charm. I had modified my Carnival BBS and used Basic XL and kept big chunks of code in ram disk and would use the Delete and Enter commands and would delete out chunks of code and enter in the next chunk needed by the user and this allowed me to code way past the 37k limit in basic xl and I was able to code a much bigger and more complex BBS system.

Curt Vendel Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Speaking of 512K board, this is a Bob Hays 512k board. He's not responding to emails anymore and his site looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time so I don't know if he's around anymore or not. I'm also doing a similar project to yours but doing all boards for the 800 system, so I've been scanning in memory, OS, video, hard drive, parallel/serial boards for the 800 expansion slots and its all part of a completely new 400/800 area on Atarimuseum that I'm hoping to have done by end of March.

Neat little board. I'm actually interested in all 800 boards; I just started this thread to focus on memory. I look forward to seeing the updates on your site; I've been going there for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
