I got a couple of the ps/2 adapters mentioned above and had ps/2 optical mice. Only played with it a bit, but it seems great so far: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126137856119

lol, might be the first game with a "terlet"(toilet)

So I just went through this with an 1040STF, not sure how different it would be. I used a Sony model MPF920. There was a SMD jumper resistor I had to move to make it "drive 0" as opposed to "drive 1", and you need plug the ribbon cable connector upside down(because it's a HD drive), and I was good to go! It was my first time working with SMD which was frustrating. I ended up cutting a 22 gauge log and using that for the jumper. Useful links: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/last/drive-mod/main.htm https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=232 https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.atari.st/c/bNFWs0WV73E?pli=1 Still need to figure out how I'll use it long-term. Maybe attach a couple connectors to the case. Not sure...

Not the drive, but a specific disk. I took one of my old beloved disks of assorted files, was copying some over to a blank disk and not using a ramdisk and at one point when the destination disk was supposed to be in the drive, the source disk was in the drive and I hit the next button. After, I immediately turned the computer off, but now the disk only shows the 4 files I was copying. I think old info is still on there because if I try to boot with that disk it crashes in a never-ending loop. I found this post https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=33193 about Disk-Workshop II. I am posting here because this is a specific eff-up and not a generic hardware failure and maybe someone has pointers. If not, I'll just mess around and see if I can recover any. Just another lesson in impermanence as we get older.

Wow, predicted wall-mounted LCD monitors.

Nice job! I will probably do this soon. Do you happen to have a link to the part? I can find on my own, but sometimes it's nice to order the same known working item.

Atari ST guy, but was slightly disappointed coming from the 8 bit line. The ST didn't seem as immediately responsive as the 8 bit. As a BASIC user, the 8 bit basic was better and more fun. I didn't play an Amiga too much, but tried the games I loved on the ST like Defender of the Crown, Bard's Tale, and Dungeon Master years later on an emulator, but liked the ST versions better. But in the days of the ST, I also started using the legendary NES and it's iconic game library which is hard to beat.

Hey tuf, sorry to be nosy, i guess you've tried rgb2hdmi? I just found out about it and ordered it up.

Maybe someone will make an atari 8 bit port. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroz

Sorry for being off-topic, but what is your avatar a picture of? Reminds me of Roberto from Futurama, but I know it isn't. Fencing Lobster Pirate?

I don't know if I would put too much effort into fighting for the customer. It may not be his "fault" but it is certainly not yours. You 100% kept your side of the "bargain." But I know that is easier to say than do. I don't think this happened, but if customer is basically a stranger(i don't know that he is), he could have gotten a buddy to take it. Once again, not saying *he* did this, but people have been known to do similar things. Oh well, hope you make it out relatively unscathed.

So I was just looking at mine(1040STF), and it does appear so. On mine the top part of the connector broke off, and I just see the ribbon cable pressed into the pins, lol. I very lightly lifted up and it didn't seem to budge, so I just left it alone, don't even want to look at it funny, heheh.

Thanks! What an awesome read. Reposting link so it is more obvious. https://medium.com/@steveafulton/the-best-christmas-ever-19f8772da082

Add another to the list! Broke out the 1040STF a bit ago to replace the disk drive and was slightly horrified to see that all was not well with the sc1224. Luckily came across this thread(I'm usually in the 8-bit area), and got one from ebay along with the awesome cable from BEST. Thanks for sharing, eightbit! Now on to fixing the disk drive! Then recapping the sc1224 I guess!

5.1 was just released and has changes to joystick configuration. Since you are building from source, you can try right away rather than wait for a package if you want. Might not help, passing it along just in case. https://github.com/atari800/atari800/releases/tag/ATARI800_5_1_0

I think OP said they were building from source. Maybe they can make a change in the code before building. Not sure, not familiar with the code.

Awesome sounds. Well done.

I was thinking about going the other way, a bigger board with integrated 1090/1091. A case that opens and takes cards. The usual ports plus an XEGS keyboard port. No feature creap, lol. I think there are similar things done already, but not up to date on all of it.

Thanks for the reply! After connecting via usb, does it use the same program? Thanks again for answering.

I think I have serial support turned on: │ │ <*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers (libata) ---> │ │ But it does look like will have to turn on my parallel port and recompile(unrelated to this issue): │ │ < > Parallel port support ---- │ │ I have two serial ports I believe, one provided by the motherboard, and a another serial and parallel port via pci card. I'm not seeing the serial and the parallel on the pci card, but the one from the motherboard seems to be accessible: esphomeflasher -p /dev/ttyS0 fujinet-ATARI-v1.2.0.zip Using '/dev/ttyS0' as serial port.

Which brings up a question. If it does work, would I be able to use one of your dev versions?

Got it! In the build-instructions.md file, I found the build command, "pyinstaller -F -w -n ESPHome-Flasher -i icon.icns esphomeflasher/__main__.py", and that built a working executable. In linux, icon is not supported, but it doesn't appear to do any harm. This is the build command I settled on: pyinstaller -F -w -n esphomeflasher esphomeflasher/__main__.py Then I just copy esphomeflasher from the dist directory to /usr/bin. It's not "seeing" my serial ports, but I'll fix that if I get one.

Linux From Scratch(LFS). It's a build-from-source based distro, so no package manager. It would take a bit of work to use a prebuilt executable because it expects a more recent version of glibc. I think when i "build" from the source, it doesn't produce an esphomeflasher executable, but in the directory ../build/lib/esphomeflasher I can do "python3 gui.py" and get the same error. I think the executable was installed when I tried installing it via pip. I don't have a cert file named cacert.pem, but have tons of others, some from debian. I'll try poking around for it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14987857/what-exactly-is-cacert-pem-for https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html I'll probably be able to figure it out. I may have to do additional processing with the cacert.pem file before it is usable. But it also might be a red herring.

Nah, forget it.
