  1. Bump! he a800 that I had also in this listing sold. No further dropping the asking price of the boxed 130XE
  2. Bump - Price on ebay is dropped, so I am reflecting it to this listing.
  3. Hello team Atariage! I am selling my boxed atari 130XE to make some much needed space. It is currently on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204621431765 If purchased here with PayPal f&f I will do $20 less than the ebay price at that moment. I can do goods and services transactions if you prefer with +4% cost to the buyer to cover the fees. Buyer also covers shipping costs from Portland, OR. The computer is packed up and ready to go. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!
  4. Either way, these rules apply for every power supply for any device. 🙂
  5. Reading a bit more carefully it seems like AC is unlikely as it is a newer device and if it says "tip positive" or "tip negative" it implies it is DC (in AC the two terminals switch between positive and negative). So make sure the amperage is within range and you are good to go.
  6. One very important thing to pay attention to is the amps that the keyboard draws! You need to find a power supply with the above discussed specs but with at minimum the number of amperage the manufacturer gives. Using less will put stress in the power supply and the keyboard and probably this will result in sever damage in either or both. Personally when I do things like this I aim to use a power supply that its amperage is rated about 20% more than what I need. But this is because the power supply will run a bit less stressed. So make sure the voltage is exactly the same (not less not more) and the amperage is either same or greater. One detail that is also very important is if the keyboard takes DC (direct current) or AC (alternative current). Probably it is DC but older devices (like the atari 400, 800 and their disk drives 810, 1050 etc) used to take AC and were converting it internally to DC. If your device needs AC and you give it DC, or the other way around at best case it won't work, worse case you will damage it (and/or the power supply).
  7. I love my netusbee. USB is handy but can corrupt files if the pen drive is not prepared (formatted) correctly and that can depend on the TOS version. Network however using uiptool is fantastic: fast and efficient. I'm fact I have a NAS connected to all my retro computers (Atari, Amiga, RiscPC, Mac, PC) via an Ethernet switch and that is really sweet.
  8. Yes, that was the thread with all the good info, you found it! Just open your ataris and have a look... Probably the circuit is already printed on the PCB... And if not it is such a simple circuit that you can make it yourself and connect it.
  9. Yes. Most of the non RF based STs (=the ones without the M in their name) have the circuit already printed on the motherboard. All you need to do is add a few compartment (as you said 2-3 resistors a transit and a diode of I remember correctly). The cost to do the mod is like $10 plus 10 mins of soldering. I have fixed two mega STs like that. The info is in the form, I will try to dig it out...
  10. Looks beautiful! If I didn't have a mega st already I would be interested. Even the painting and mods look from the pictures really nice and well done...
  11. I was lucky enough to have a tower for my TT and I have my Mach64 installed inside the tower. But maybe something like this will work: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3638032
  12. Not sure what you mean by "386 BIOS and 2m"... As far as I know if it is a Mach64 and ISA it works... The DAC might make a difference and you can look it up from the driver's page: https://silicon-heaven.org/atari/nova/MegaSTE/Mach64/ I think I do have a spare one that I was using in my TT. If interested DM me and I will open da-drawer-of-tt-hardware to check if it is still there.
  13. The best way is to use a netusbee where you can transfer files over the network. There is a program also that you can transfer over serial cable that I used to use. But netusbee is way much faster and easier. Cosmosex is also a fantastic device that you can do a lot of other things too, but good luck finding one.
  14. @Killjoyy27 purchased an amiga 1000 from me. He is a great communicator, friendly and easygoing. Paid immediately and I am very happy my amiga is now in a good home that will get loads of love!
