  1. Just wondering if the Fujinet works on an original Atari 800? I hve a v1.6 FN which works great on my 130XE, however I plugged it into my 800 and it went to the Memopad. WHen I turn my 800 on the light on the FN only slightly illuminates before turning off while Memopad comes up. Once the 800 is fully running the FN light is fully lit. Almost seems like my 800 cant boot the FN. Just curious if Im missing something.
  2. Anyone know if this system had widespread use in any country or company?
  3. When trying to connect my ST to my 80bit on the same phone line to perform an inhouse transfer I would whistle into the phone to simulate the connection tone - it worked to get one of the modems to kick in - took a few tries but it can be done
  4. My $0.02 is Atari needs to bring these concepts together in a comprehensive package. The VCS800 wasnt a bad idea but wrong price point, however it can run more modern games. Take the 2600+ and give it the ability to run the same store/games the VCS800 can (maybe to a lesser degree due to GPU) and I think you have a winner. SD slot is a must and it defines a "platform" from Atari with new and old games. Having the GameStation Pro and 2600+ and VCS with different UIs and overlap in games is a mess to me. Just my $0.02
  5. Dont some of the R77's have a problem with heat and Stella - Not sure if the latest models have what I believe was a memory issue and heat problem.
  6. 12300 Had a weird collision issue in the first city where being low on side of screen would blow up even though nothing was there so just stayed high to get through that 1 spot
  7. The end of my ST story ended when I couldnt get a good VT100 or such emulation through my modem. I needed this to work remotely when out of hour support was needed. The best program at the time was ProComm Plus on the PC so I had to jump ship and got a low end 486 or such at the time with a Trident SVGA card!
  8. I had a 1030 modem and a buddy of mine created an ingenious method to auto answer for my BBS. We took a joystick cable and connected the trigger wire to the transformer of a rotary "bell" phone. When someone called it generated enough of a charge to "trigger" the BBS software to answer All I had to sacrifice was a cable off a broken joystick and a phone we no longer used.
  9. free advice for anyone managing the firmware release - whenever one of the best VP of Product Mgmt I worked with was asked a similar question his answer was always: "Not soon enough" So - for everyone that wants to ask when it will be production you can self answer the question now.
  10. My ICD-Fast HD I had similar issue - turning it on no noise - repeated flicks of the switch would eventually jumpstart the motor to running.
  11. If want a challenge in the mean time, Brutal Doom Beta3 came out recently...........it is brutal!
