  1. AHCT, is very fast, HCT is not as consistent or fast. You might get one that works and one that doesn't when using the normal HCT.
  2. No, the cartridge door was a safety interlock and an ease of use feature to completely start the machine from a fresh state on cartridge insertion and removal. Machine won't power up with the case off due to safety interlock. No RF emitted when door is open as power is off. You can still hot plug like on an XL/XE just a little tougher to rock a cart in, some dummy carts had a switch to turn on and off cart power, and protection bypass carts etc. were all used without issue, while most folks using them had just bypassed/jumped the interlock to use them.
  3. Didn't someone make their own configurator/writer with a modified Menu using some other Character or another?
  4. Atari also had cartridges that let you load DOS like Atari Writer and Music cartridge etc.
  5. I would rather reset stays in the game and as a menu choice you may exit the game to Drive Boot or return to DOS. Always possible to cold boot, but sometimes not to DOS depending on memory and DOS.
  6. we are never that quick to respond with bugs, maybe speak in the next 3 weeks or forever hold our piece?
  7. Win anything always requires an 'update', need or not. More bloat in the coding moat.
  8. so the resistor fix with a less power hungry led perhaps current limited would be acceptable/ and if going full bore in addition-buffering chip, otherwise new mylar. I'd still do the updates to limit the rate of mylar trace decay. @Simius thank you for rounding the whole of it up so succinctly.
  9. they should fix the upgrades that break gtia beeper!
  10. be aware some s-ram mods don't play well with some upgrades now and possible new ones in the future.
  11. LMFAO, I listed POKEY instead of GTIA, how I'll never know. Sorry for the senile moment. TJZB has the correct info.
  12. so long as everything is able to be set, and saved, and all works as expected. I would say why not. However, have you tried making setting on the FJC firmware unit and saving it? oh it's already been covered. If the one u1m is now functioning fine, I'd say upgrade it and send the other one on it's way, maybe someone can repair it.
  13. take the stacked resistors to 3K and if that fails, go to the pokey and matrix chips etc, after you verify connector and connection resistance.
