  1. Reducing the price of this to just £15 plus shipping if anybody is interested.
  2. Atari SLMC804 Laser Printer controller I believe this is new in the box. Box shows some storage signs, but generally pretty good. I'm in the UK. £50, plus buyer pays shipping fees.
  3. Made by Zaxon, this is the 512KB RAM expansion for the 800XL. It may work with an unexpanded 600XL but I do not have one to test, so I'm not sure of that. It gets power from the joystick port via the included cable. Zaxon's own description: "512 ram expansion( externial) for 800 XL. Based on Jürgen van Radecke Sys Check project in memory expansion and with his consent. Only RAM. Direct plug in to expansion slot. 3D printed ABS Ivory case. Joystick cable for connect power to interface. Rambo type. Plug and play" Works perfectly - selling to slim down the collection (I have the XE version of this expansion!). I'm in the UK. Asking £30 - buyer to pay relevant shipping fees.
  4. Actually, does anybody have a source for longer ECI cables? I'm in the UK and retrolemon tells me he only has the shorter ones that are not suitable for the older, diagonal position.
  5. I have an older cart with no case cutouts or headers. Thinking I might butcher it to add headers for both SIO and ECI. It really would be an all-in-one, then.
  6. I recently set up a TNFS server to use with FujiNet on my Atari 8-bits. Most people run the server on a Raspberry Pi, but with the current energy crisis(!) I wanted to do it from my always-on Windows 10 machine. After using files on FujiNet, even if I eject them from slots, I frequently can’t modify or delete them as they’re reported as in-use by the client I’m using, even when the FujiNet device is turned off. I haven’t tried this yet to see if it fixes the problem, but in any case, I wanted to find an easy way of restarting the server without needing to physically be on the Windows machine. I chose to do this via SSH using Powershell. Here are the instructions for doing so in case it helps you out. Obviously this can be used to stop/start any service you like, and from any OS that gives you the ability to SSH into another machine. There may be more elegant solutions, this is just the one I went for! Install SSH server on Windows 10 via Powershell: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0 Start and configure server: Start the sshd service Start-Service sshd OPTIONAL but recommended: Set-Service -Name sshd -StartupType 'Automatic' Confirm the Firewall rule is configured. It should be created automatically by setup. Run the following to verify: if (!(Get-NetFirewallRule -Name "OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Name, Enabled)) { Write-Output "Firewall Rule 'OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP' does not exist, creating it…" New-NetFirewallRule -Name 'OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP' -DisplayName 'OpenSSH Server (sshd)' -Enabled True -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -LocalPort 22 } else { Write-Output "Firewall rule 'OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP' has been created and exists." } Set Powershell to be default shell over OpenSSH: New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH" -Name DefaultShell -Value "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -PropertyType String -Force To stop the TNFS server: taskkill /F /IM tnfsd.exe To start the TNFS server: start-process C:\tnfsd\tnfsd.exe C:\tnfsroot
  7. Hey @darryl1970 - thanks so much for these amazing hacks. You (and others who had input) did great things! In the other, older 'collected' thread @playsoft posted a fixed version of Donkey Kong RMT to run correctly from the Ultimate Cart. I think the same fix needs to be applied to DKA8_RMT_Encore.xex - not because it won't boot on the Ultimate Cart (it does) but because it won't run properly from a FujiNet, or at least it doesn't from mine! The fixed version of the previous release does, but this one will show the 'How High Can You Get?' screen, and then show the main screen for less than a second before showing the How High screen again, and it just gets stuck in that loop! I'm no expert at all, but I think the attached should be all that was required. Thanks to playsoft in the original thread for the information that BOOT=1 needed to be added before the run, and to @vitoco for their excellent perl script and instructions which made it relatively easy for this total novice to make the changes required. Somebody with more knowledge should check the file to make sure I've not made a mistake, though! I can confirm I tested this and it worked on my FujiNet, Ultimate Cart, and AVG Cart. DKA8_RMT_Encore_BootFix.xex
  8. Ah, sorry, I didn't realise that was there. My apologies.
  9. Hi Karl. Someone messaged me a bit before you from the UK - if he doesn't take it though, you're next in line for sure.
  10. Will do this for £100 including postage to the UK if anyone is interested.
  11. I'm selling my Dragonfly if anyone is interested. Burgundy (red), Pokey Max, YM2151 module, and 5.5/2.1 plug cable. I'm in the UK but will post to Europe or the US on the understanding that all shipping fees will be paid by the buyer, and I won't be responsible for any customs fees / taxes that may be levied. PM me if interested.
