since I'm short of $ and need to rebuild my transmission on my truck I cut the price to $5 for a bare board, $15 for a kit and $25 for a complete tested board, $4.95 priority mail flat rate shipping. I'll cover delivery conf myself. so, 9.95 for bare board shipped, 19.95 for kit shipped and 29.95 for completed tested board shipped. I've been very busy at work lately so I haven't read the forums much, but I do have all w ready to ship (just need to pop into a flat rate box with packing material and have it dropped at post office by my lady.

For the time being, I am in need of $ so... knock 2.50 off all the above prices ($5, $15 and $25 respectively) and 4.95 for priority flat rate shipping. I'll cover deliver conf myself.

is it 800 mhz only or does it work in the UHF band(s) also.

nope, I have bare boards, kits and assembled-tested units

Thanks sloopy

Yes, the hitachi chips work just peachy. Trub ordered a pair of PCB's (it was his schematic I started from) and I sent him what he ordered, plus a bonus since it was his schematic initially. I feel kind of homored, as he is replacing his wire-wrap proto with one of my boards. so, I have bare boards, kits and completed boards (unless you have the LDW and CA drives, then I can have a completed one in about an hour )

it is etiquette, not edicate. and they aren't the ones causing the auction to tank. The only person who can take responsibility for the auction not taking off is you. you posted an arcade machine with a dodgy monitor, made it local pick up only and were surprised that no-one wanted to bid on it? most arcade collectors want working machines and could care less about "record scores" on the machine. also, the writing of the score and sig to many collectors lowers the value as they want machines in as close to factory condition as possible. I did not see anyone say that the machine was worthless, unless I missed a post or two, I saw several people saying that it would be worth more with a simple adjustment made to the monitor. Arcade machine monitors in good shape tend to be hard to come by and when you do find them they are spendy. at least ONE person tried to offer assistance, showing you where to adjust and you flamed him. THAT behavior will discourage people on here who might have been interested in it to stay away I know it kept me from bidding.

after the first couple zaps you get used to it the big thing is NEVER allow a circuit across your chest. when I work on a monitor I wear a ground strap on the arm that is doing the adjustments and it is grounded to the grounded metal chassis on the monitor. I always discharge the HV through a discharge tool also if working on a powered-off monitor. no path across the heart = slim to no chance of stopping your heart. and always use non-conductive tools for the pot adjustments as metal ones can increase the chance of shocks and also metal ones can affect your adjustments so you may think you have it adjusted properly but take the tool away and it's messed up.

for those of us who are masochistic, are the schematics of the board available so we can build our own?

Chips are practically equivalent. So, take out original chip, and best is that you solder in 40-pin socket. Then just insert AY or YM and it will work. hmmm, i may look at making a PCB and socketing my sound chip... the PCB would have a buffer ic for the signals to the floppy port to protect the sound chip.

I think B&C may have some, although they may be harvesting them from dead hardware. the SIO connectors on the SIO2PC are different than most I have seen and ISTR reading about ?steven? at atarimax investing in tooling so I would conclude that he has had some SIO connectors made for him.

Now, I know who got those from under me. heh yeah i have only wanted a indus for 22 years, could never find one when i had money... now i just need a 600XL and a 400, but they will have to wait... sloopy. and if you want a memory upgrade for the indus, pm me (hint, hint)

IIRC, 1.7V P-P

I have yet to see flying robots. Then I will agree. no invoking of godwin's law (IIRC) comparing someone or something to hitler... yet

depending on the makeup of the silicon grease it may be better than the petroleum jelly. petroleum jelly can affect the condition of plastics over time, where silicon or teflon lube probably won't as long as they don't have anything in them that has solvent properties.

Actually... Apple went from Motorola 68K to Motorola PPC, then to Intel x86. and it wasn't a matter of Motorola keeping up with Intel. I have a 1.25GHZ G4 mac mini that will smoke a 3.4GHZ X86 PC. the mini has 1GB ram and the PC has 3GB (ok, 4 but 32-bit windows can't use it all) Apple was getting hit by smoke an mirrors, PC manufacturers are great at propagating the MHZ Myth. (that clock speed is the end all be all of performance measurement) a well architected 1.25GHZ CPU and system board can run circles around a 3.4 GHZ chip that is not as well architected and optimized.

the billion dollar question. has a schematic been made of it yet?

Is this a 360k drive? I believe that's a 1.2M. correct TERAC FD55-GFR is a 1.2 meg drive mechanism

you are not replacing the WD1772-PH, that is the disk controller chip. I don't have an XF551 in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that atari chip is the XF rom

Have you tried setting Windows 98 compatibility mode for APE-Win98?

will do, thanks low profile turned(machined) pin sockets are the way to go they're a little spendy though. there are decent dual-wipe sockets out there.

I haven't weighed the upgrade board yet, but i may be able to do cheaper shipping via usps first class with insurance.
