  1. Thank you for your quick response. But then why does it only show 48 cubes instead of 64?
  2. I have a dumb question, please forgive me, but is the Atari XEGS really a 64k system? When I run the memory test it only ever shows 48 boxes (all green). The manual states each box stands for a k a piece. Is my system faulty?
  3. Yes, I should have been more clear. I'd like to use my XEGS to go on a BBS.
  4. Everything I touch turns to caca.

      Thought this, this morning, told the Wife, she thought I was funny(she usually doesn't...), seems like something you'll appreciate-

       

      "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade".

      That's not really universally applicable, as some people enjoy lemons, very much.

      The sentiment is there, "lemons" just has to be replaced with something more universally disliked.

      But I don't care how you mix it up, Turdade doesn't sound good to me, at ALL.

  5. My questions: 1. How can I get my XEGS online using modern parts. Would I still need a disk drive (something I'm trying to avoid because I don't have one and I hear the belts inside break because of dry rot)? Also, where would I get the parts that I need? I'd need something that would fit that 13 pin port. 2. Is there any way to make a XEGS go any faster so a game like Flight Simulator II can go move more smoothly (some kind of new chip maybe)? Or is this just a drunken fantasy of mine? Thank you in advance.
  6. Double Dragon Basketbrawl Ikari Warriors Alien Brigade Planet Smashers Motor Phsyco Ninja Golf I'd like to take advantage of the Custum Carts sold here on Atari Age but they said only 32k and smaller. If this works out, I want my daughter to make the artwork for the carts. That would be sweet! Thank you in advance!
