I assume he is still using the same PCB so adding the activity leds should be possible. According to the schematics you need for each activity led: 4k7 resistor 470 resistor BC807-16LTSMD transistor And a led of course But since these (except the led) are smd components, you need good soldering skills. Robert Good luck with that! The casings on mine is clued together & I'll have to destroy it when the time comes just to change the battery. Hope others faired better.

What a great testament to your dads life. It seems that he certainly got the most important bits right in raising a family and providing for their needs. When a mans life on this walk is drawing to an end there is no better way to leave than having loved ones around and knowing he did his best for them and that they love him. True Spiritual Love is the most powerful force in existence and when someone gives or receives it, unbearable pain, suffering, and disease are flooded away and replaced by true peace and contentment when most needed. Nothing is going to stop your sadness when your father leaves, but that's how it should be when a life departs this planet who has touched others with their love. Just keep telling your dad you love him while you can and comfort your mother with your love. Your mum is also probably much stronger than you ever thought possible (most mothers are), don't be afraid to accept her comfort and love in return. My own dad passed away eight years ago in hospital riddled with cancer. Luckily his pain and suffering was over fairly quickly as he hated hospitals. I used to sit and read beautiful passages from the Bible to him which also seemed to benifit some of the other patients. He passed away with his family around his bedside having lived his life on his own terms. As he departed a new life was born into a family which will one day be faced with the same eternal question of being mortal, I just hope they live, love, laugh, cry, seek happiness to the full while they're together. I send your family all my love as a fellow human being to help ease your pain now and in the days to come. I also hope you build on the support your father gave you over your career move and use it to inspire yourself and your students to new heights of creativity and success. While on the musical subject and with your reference to a Pastor, I would like to mention that God (or as I say Heavenly Father) loves music, the Holy Scriptures are full of how good it makes him feel, so you and your dad have certainly chosen a great path to walk. Love, Tony

Mine arrived yesterday 30th May. I placed & paid the order on the 14th January. I really don't believe he tries to mess people around it's just his focus is obviously on 1100 0000's & silicon chips. I think he should team up with someone who tracks the orders & keeps in touch with his customers & soothe any worries or concerns that may crop up. Different strokes for different folks sort of approach to the problem. Its great that he's willing to undertake projects like this for us & he deserves encouragement & support for his efforts. If you place an order you will get it eventually, but you'd be better off accepting up front you might have too wait a while to get it though & if it arrives quickly its a bonus. Cheers

All's well, I just received an email with my tracking number so that's a relief. I got an email from Zaxon a couple days ago. He should be working on Ultra Satan again and ship by the end of April. Maybe send him an email with your address as a reminder? Good to see him working and some communication. Did you get yours yet? I got an email saying the same thing but now it's May & still nothing. I advise others too think long & hard before ordering anything from him! Sorry. Didn't mean to let this go unanswered. I got an email from Zaxon about two weeks ago. It was in reply to an email I sent asking if the UltraSatan was ready. The reply said yes and that it would ship the following Monday or Tuesday. Since then I have sent him two more emails asking to confirm that he sent it. I just sent a 3rd. So far they have been unanswered. There is nothing else to do but wait. I really hope Zaxon come through with this in the end. Nothing to do with our UltraSatan orders, I got an original SatanDisk in a deal with a 1040STe. It's not very fast and it took a while to get everything just right, but now that I have it working it is not a bad device. Its not an UltraSatan for sure but it does work. I see this device being sold here: http://afs.atari.org/satandisk.htm All's well, I just received an email with my tracking number & its finally on its way . I think Zaxon just needs a friend to help take care of order updates & correspondence between him & his customers. Thanks again for keeping me updated with your situation. I've no doubt the wait will be worth it in the end, Thanks Zaxon .

Thanks for your updates Stargunner, they helped me calm down knowing others were in the same boat. Cheers.

Thanks for the info Official Ninja. After reading it I think I'll do the same as you & wait a bit longer. I guess he must just be an eccentric electronics genius with terrible communication & organisation skills outside the workshop, and after reading other threads on the subject it doesn't look like he'll change that habit any time soon. Its a shame though because it must pile a lot of unnecessary pressure on him from frustrated customers because of it. He must be a nice guy at heart judging by a few of the posts, so like yourself I'll just send him another couple of gentle email reminders. Thanks for your replies, I feel much better knowing others are in the same boat & that the odds are good we'll eventually make landfall. I've had my ST's packed away in their boxes for about 10 years & I've been itching to get one out & hook up too this brilliant little device. Like you I'll report back here on my progress & this thread might help to alleviate the anxiety of future Ultrasatan buyers. After reflecting on my last comment for a moment I thought: As the Ultrasatan is such an important device every Atari owner wants, maybe a pinned post that details what the procedure for getting one is, and some of the scenarios that can unfold before receiving it. Zaxon if you see this, luv you mate, best wishes for the future, your a genius! Now post Official Ninja's & my order please

Its a worry I'm afraid. I was prepared for a 4-6 week delay but didn't expect not to receive any notifications or updates about my order. You feel like a bigger & bigger fool the longer it goes without hearing anything. Zaxon if you read this let us know what the ****'s going on please! If you don't want to honor the order just refund my money. My credit card was processed instantly so I don't believe 7 weeks is unfair to expext an order update!

Hi Guys, Stargunner, how did you get Zaxon to talk to you? I ordered and paid for one on the 14th of January through Google Checkout which was processed & claimed almost immediately by Zaxon. I know there is a waiting period but emails to him through the Google account & this site haven't been answered. Google sent me a request to rate my buying experience on the transaction several weeks ago which I've held back on posting until now. I can live with losing 94 quid but I'll make sure lots of people know about it if I do. Clicking on the Google Checkout button on his site says: Oops! Unfortunately, this merchant no longer accepts payments through Google. We apologize for the inconvenience. Any suggestions from anyone? I believe I've been fair & am prepared to wait a while longer if my order to ship is imminent, but if Zaxon won't reply my patience will be over this Saturday Australian time.
