On a 7800? Any games in particular? If I have it I can try on mine - I've not experienced anything like that yet.

I played both the 5200 and Intellivision recently, and was really getting annoyed at the Intellivision controller. My thumb kept hitting the rim of the circle pad.

How much for 5200 version? Any word on improvements to the new plastic used? Also, would you combine shipping for ordering both?

Bryan got back to me last night, got my order in. To answer the above, you're really comparing composite to s-video, so I'd only go the DIY route if you like to build your own circuits. Personally, I can vouch for the UAV and wish I'd have known about it sooner.

Well, it may not be simple, but here's a link to the first video mod I did on a 5200. Used a small hobby board, quality was pretty decent, but not as good as the UAV. http://www.atarihq.com/5200/5200faq/04_13.html

Haven't heard from Bryan for several days for more boards. Hope all's well, probably just life happening.

TBH, I just included the 4050 in-circuit to avoid any potential issues, so I can't say if my 2nd 5200 worked without it or not.

I'd love to post pics of my 2-port with UAV installed, as soon as I get my hands on some more boards. While the 4050 add-on would be awesome, I've been working around it. Next time I might try offsetting the 4050 on a small breadboard or something, unless Bryan gets them in soon.

Got an UNO cart during the sale. Can't wait to try it out - this is my first 800XL 'upgrade'! Let's see where this rabbit hole leads..

+Like for CAT5 cable, lol. Great for multicore wiring.

This is the board I modded. It is a CA018087. Here's the other one I have, a CX5200P. Just a power mod so far.

Hmm, yeah definitely don't remember anything about the jumper. No 4050, no R2/R3, and I even started Frogger with the reset button (though I don't know if that was the reset issue or not). I've done the power mod from console5 and this UAV board, nothing else. My other 5200 has a different motherboard revision silkscreened on it, perhaps if I try to mod that on I would get a result similar to yours, but it has other issues at the moment that I haven't figured out yet. I have a 2-port I could try though.

No, no... sorry for the confusion, I didn't explain my issues in detail. The reason I couldn't get a picture initially with the 4050 in-circuit is because I had 2 separate video cables in front of me, and I had the wrong one plugged into the system. Literally, my video cable wasn't plugged in the whole time. Troubleshooting 101. I have since replaced the 4050 after reading about a potential reset issue (just soldered the UAV on top of the 4050 and placed the monstrosity into the socket) - my 4-port produced a picture both with AND without it. As far as the jumpers, I thought that was my problem and went back and forth between the 5200 and 800xl settings until i realized my video cable wasn't plugged into the tv. I'm not sure what the jumpers for R2/R3 are about as I'm still learning how to use this board. I'll try to take a picture of my updated install later.

Oh man Bryan, I'm glad I read this. I installed my first board today in a 5200, and I got no signal. I thought maybe the 4050 was interfering somehow, so I pulled it and installed the board into the socket directly. Hooked up my cables, configured the jumpers, and it fired up right away. This is easily the most beautiful picture I've ever seen on an Atari, and I'd like to replace all my homebrew circuits with these boards! Unfortunately, I now have more soldering to do to put the 4052 back on the board. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my install (need to mount the jacks)... Thanks Bryan for a great product, I'll be ordering a couple more soon!

Simius, I am interested in one with shipping to the US. Your PM box is not accepting new messages. How can I order 1? Thanks.
