  1. I see a lot of early '80s books (30 Basic Programs for .....) and was wondering what the Microsoft basic on the Aquarius compared with other machines. Is it close to Apple? I understand anything with PEEK and POKE would be a problem.
  2. It would be nice to see the Aquarius having it's own forum.
  3. Interesting. 1. On the subject of keyboards- is the Aquarius just looking for a mechanical connection between a row and a column on it's 15 pin connector? My question really being, can one use any mechanical keyboard (that is free of ic's and such) as long as it is configured to the proper matrix? 2. I'm going to have to get the mini-expander at some point if I want to use a joystick. If re-wired, can an atari type be used to replace the ones that come with it? They look cheap in the photos. 3. Is there any software you recommend purchasing even though it is on the aquaricart - for the keyboard overlays or manual?
  4. I would imagine that converting the S1 to S2 operating system would involve desoldering the Rom and soldering a new one in which probably wouldn't be worth the trouble. But, has anyone made of copy of the Aquarius II Rom (with extended basic) and put it in, creating a Aquarius "1.5"?
  5. The Aquarius I purchased was "like new". There was no tape with it. Was it just lost, or did the early ones (pre-Radofin) not have the tape? I say mine is early because it is an S1 (non-S2). I remember seeing a NIB Aquarius on ebay and there was a sticker on the box that mentioned the tape. It made me think that it was mid-production addition. Are there characteristics about the S1 that can cause problems running certain software?
  6. Hi! One of my first purchases next month is going to be your Aquaricart! As I understand it, cassette software isn't on there. Where can I buy cassettes? Do you sell Aquarius hardware?
  7. I just recently purchased an Aquarius! I've done some research about them and from I have been able to tell, this is about the only place where Aquarius is discussed. It appears that the Yahoo site is no longer used. I see there is an excellent site in the Netherlands about it. There is the aquaricart and ram cartridge available. Ebay is probably the place to go to for hardware. Have I missed anything?
