fantastic! thank you foft!

okay, foft said he is going to open the design files. I think that is a very good move.so, thank you foft.

I would like to see the design files opened. I think that would be the best thing to do for the Atari community.

I vote no on getting duddie to do this. he will want the pokey, antic, gtia core code to be private. that is against the author's intent as stated in the first post in this topic.

the resistor on the right is 22 ohms, not 220. I also think the resistor just to right of transistor is 1.2K ohm. the others look correct. that is all according to my very old eyes. thanks. Ken

very nice pancio!

that one will probably be extinct in 2 weeks. like so much in the pc industry. it aint broke so let's fix it anyway!

The E: handler is built into the video card. That is the atari spec. Could always load another from disk or cart but that defeats the purpose. Ken

I am trying to get an enclosure figured out that won't break the bank. It is not an easy task though. thanks for everyone's patience in this matter! Ken

nice showing. really nice photos. I see the 1090XL remake with a card plugged in. I would have hoped to see an original 1090XL tho but, oh well. maybe next year. I would have liked to attended this year but had other obligations. anyway, lots of nice vintage computers!

hi David, I am glad to see you are back! I feel some of your pain. I have had metal braces put in. great pics man. hope you can get your accounts merged. Ken

yes, that is the one.

mine had a real basic Basic manual that was quite thin. and a warranty card. this is in addition to what you listed. Ken

something I am looking into. along with SD card storage options.

hi mytek and Mathy, there is no problem with your ideas or comments. they are all welcome. future mods or enhancements come from new and fresh ideas. and I even have done some of mytek's projects. all cool thanks for the comments. Ken

when Curt and I started this, it was to be a reproduction of the 1090XL expansion box, nothing more and nothing less. it is an open design and others can update it as they like but, when finished (if ever) then this will be a 1090XL expansion box as Atari was going to release (though they never did). as I said though, this is an open design. Schematics and even the board layout gerbers are on github at https://github.com/kenames99 and anyone is free to do their own mods and produce that if they so choose too. reifsnyderb did do a necessary update/modification to the main schematic to fully support the 130XE computers. it is completely compatible with the original design and intent. I just have not put that in the github yet. (sorry reifsnyderb). Ken

Freaking awesome! but you didn't show up the actual hardware.

hi, I have spent a few hours working on the 1090XL and the 80 column video card and RealDOS. the reults are a fully working video 80 column output, even in basic. the photo is done with RealDOS ver. 1.0 Build 33, and reifsnyderb's newest OS rom (6.2 early beta). the stock os rom has a bug that sets the 80 column back to 40. even tho this is now complete, that OS bug is a problem for people that do not want to change their hardware. the os bug happens only with some print routines used thruout RealDOS and it's support files but this is still not the way I want thing to work. I will be sorting thru RealDOS and all the support fil;es to fix this as soon as I can. I should also mention that one of the SDX update project's members has a SDX driver for the 80 CVC also. this is also good news to hear. I would also like to thank phaeron for all his work with Altirra and the debugger in it that made my life so much easier. I will be releasing the files to run this soon. all are considered beta at this time. Ken

here is a build that should work for you. but yea, I forgot about the ape clock in the IDE+ too. thanks for the reminder drac030 TDLINE2.COM

this version has all the drivers built in for most clock setups including Ape.so it should get the correct time and put it in the right spots in dos. it is quite a lot newer then most tdline files out there. Ken

I gotta say that with all the effort I am putting in to ignore this topic, I am starting to tire out. whew!

hi bf2k, try the tdline2 I have attached. let me know if it works for you. Ken TDLINE2.COM

this ignore thing is starting to get time consuming.

I have been actively ignoring this since the very 1st post.

hi, I also have a replica of the original ICD SpatraDOS X cart. fully assembled for $33.00 plus shipping. Ken
