  1. I can print the 2-D printed parts. Just need to know if you are doing Stackpole of Hi-Tec Caps.

     

    I'm in the US (Ohio). If you are overseas, it may not be worth the shipping cost.

     

    I'd only ask you to pay shipping. The actual printing costs are probably only a couple of dollars.

     

    Let me know.

     

    Thanks.

      thank you very much!  I am here in Massachusetts, STACKPOLE is the brand with Yellow stacks. I would like to replace it with a new board with cherry  switches. I understand there some stands and adapters needed for this project.  thank you very much!

  2. Thanks. Except for Homebrew, which (I assume) would mostly only work on original hardware (Unless it uses a legacy supported bank-switching method and not an undocumented "quirk" of the hardware, is there any reason to have a cartridge port? I have a real 2600 and I have a fair number of carts, but I never actually use them because it is too easy to run from a Raspberry Pi or a computer without having to go chase down physical cartridges. I have a Nintendo Switch and I do not buy ANY real cartridges because I don't want to deal with keeping track of them. That convenience is worth more to me than what I might be able to sell the cartridges for if I stop playing the game. thanks.
  3. Okay. I don’t have an R77. But they seem to be about half the price as the 2600+. can anyone give me a brief list of differences and/or pros and cons between the two? Thanks
  4. Okay. Here's a question. If this thing is just a ROM dumper, why does it need 256MB of eMMC memory. All the original games probably take less than a meg. Stella can't be taking much more than that. With all that space, seems like they might be allowing games to be loaded. No?
  5. 130XE keyboard is worse than any keyboard other than the 400. And it’s close on the 400.
  6. I think there was a copy program that would continually write the same sector over and over to create a “bad” sector. Did this exist or was this only something I wish existed? I also recall a program that had you put tape on the disk and pull it while it was writing the sector to damage the sector.
  7. The ultimate hacker feat back in the day was to be able to destroy hardware with software.
  8. This looks pretty cool. Have to check it out.
  9. I just swapped to a different Panasonic printer and it’s working. Something must be wrong with the other one. sorry for the false alarm.
  10. Sorry didn’t answer other questions. it is pin feed and seems to be moving fine. The gap is set all the way up. thanks.
  11. Great questions. It looks like the gap is about the same as the diamond gap on setup, but then when I tell the software there is a gap, it removes the linefeeds altogether. here are some pictures. thanks!
  12. I have it set to be epson mode. And the print shop program actually lists my printer as supported to choose from. It just adds extra space between each line.
  13. Hi. I’m trying to use print shop with my Panasonic KXP1091 and I’m having trouble getting it to line feed correctly. The printer has a dip switch for linefeed. If I turn that on, it is always too much linefeed (to the point that when I do print shop setup, the diamond is too far apart to be either option) so I leave that off. depending on how I set it up in print shop before, my choices are solid diamond or split diamond, or solid diamond or squiggle. it seems to switch between these every time I run setup. once I answer the diamond question and save the settings when I print, it either prints with white space between each line or it prints the whole picture on one line. I’ve tried on an incognito 800 (in both XL and Colleen mode) and on a stock 800XL. I’ve tried using an Atari 850 interface and a Grafix AT. has anyone seen this? Do I have a bad copy of the software or something? I feel like I’ve experienced this before but cannot remember how I solved it. anyone know how to solve this? thank you!
  14. I spent 20+ years programming in IBM 370 Assembler. My code ran rings around that COBOL crap!
  15. agreed. BASIC with mapping the Atari teaches a lot about how the Atari works, which sets you up nicely for Assembler.
