On 1/21/2020 at 7:15 PM, leech said:I am still waiting on some parts, but I should initially have enough to build 50 LEDs, (I have 100, but if you want a grommet to hold it in better, I am still waiting for the 50 pack of those).
I still need to design a HD LED replacement as well. I'm going to make some attempts at recreating the plastic piece that goes on the outside, for example for the floppy drive, since the TT I eventually got was missing that one. I think it is different though for each (HD, floppy, power).
This is a great thread!
Fortunately I don't need new LED holders just yet as mine haven't rusted completely through but good to know they're available 😀
I am however having a hard time figuring out where to find those PVC grommets. The ones in mine are completely dried up and cracked and I need a couple of new ones. I measured them to be 3mm inside and needing to fit a 4mm hole. All 3mm grommets I've found need a 5.5mm mounting hole! ☹️
Where did you order yours from (and are they're the same size as the original grommets, or did you use different sized holes with the new mounts)?

It's like a yo-yo
It's obvious that the server needs fixing/changing or whatever or people will eventually just give up on the whole thing.
How do we get in touch with the owner?
-
Yes!!! Finally
That's great news, but it would still be great if the owner would post something somewhere about why this is happening all the time and what can be done about it.
-
If the owner is reading, perhaps we could get to know a bit more about what's going on and what's needed.
-
Agree completely about it being an invaluable resource! But I don't feel you, Exxosuk, should pay for it all alone although that's a very kind offer to consider.
How about the owner set up a Paypal "donation" account and we all chip in a little bit. I don't know how many forum members there are but I'm sure we'd be able to cover all expenses together
It's a pity if the owner (or some other kind individual) should cover all the expenses alone in order to keep it going (for a couple of years until he/she gets fed up and the whole thing gets closed down for good)
.... and with a more efficient and stable running server we might even get increased activity and new members!

Perhaps time to look for another server host...
IIRC this isn't the first time it's been difficult/impossible to log into atari-forum.com

I've been unable to log into www.atari-forum.com for the past 4 days or so -does anyone know what's going on and if someone responsible is trying to fix it?
-
I realize that I'm replying to an old posting, but I was wondering if you ever scanned the schematics? And if you did, have you made them available somewhere for the rest of us?
-
You're right! That solved my problem.
Thanks

I find it frustrating that long postings have a scroll-bar on the right side, because this means that whenever I try to print (or "print to PDF" as available in MacOS) many messages are partially cut-off.
I've never had this problem with other forums, so I keep asking myself what the point of those scroll-bars are anyway -why not just display each message at its full length?
Failing that, how about adding a "print" button on each page which will allow anyone to print the entire discussion thread.

Thanks!
Yup -looks like the right size on paper at least (the white ones) but if I can get hold of the black ones without needing to cut that would be better (the first link doesn't work though).
