  1. Unfortunately I didn’t have a 48k card to try. The 32k card I had didn’t work, which makes sense if it was expecting 48k. And we ran out of time and didn’t try the 32k card again after removing the mod.
  2. We unsoldered the mod and now the 400 works normally. I’m going to take it home and take a couple of better pictures.
  3. Anybody heard of an Atari 400 modification called the Astro M-130 AFA Signal Loopback? I’m helping one of our club members fix a 400. It boots to Memo Pad but nothing else.
  4. Quite intriguing. I always like it when anyone does anything new with retro computers.
  5. AIRC, the board used in the ATR8000 was a "generic" CP/M board that was used in several other non-Atari machines. I wonder if going down that rabbit hole would lead to any additional technical information?
  6. BTW, do you have a way of creating non-Atari 51/4 floppies from images? I’m still trying to find MS-DOS disks for the ATR, but if I do, I don’t have a way to create them.
  7. Interesting, I hadn’t realized that the Co-Power existed long enough for there to be a Co-Power II. Mine is dated 1983, and this one 1984.
  8. Only way you’ll not see it is have your eyes closed.Which actually might be a good idea! I’ll keep watch on your 1088 then.
  9. What does “proper stuff” entail? I’ve got several 5 1/4” and the 8” floppy drives going. But hard drive might be an interesting challenge. That said, my challenge capacity has been rather low lately I do have a couple of old 5.25” hard drives, but since I’ve never tested them, I bet they’re all dead.
  10. I dont have any of the Copower software yet, so today after transplanting, I did some quick testing to make sure the Copower wasnt impeding the normal operation. So far, so good.
  11. I hope to dump the ROMs sometime soon.
  12. Yes. I have had a “regular”64k for a while. Showed it at a couple VCFSEs with an 8” drive and running Dbase II.Fellow club member and all around great guy Kyle found another one rotting away in some guy’s barn or something and thought i might be interested. Opened it up and after brushing aside the bug remains, lo-and-behold, Copower! Now I’m hoping to have that running by this VCFSE.
