Thank you. I've been tinkering with the idea of building an Atari 8-bit Star Raiders environmental cabinet similar to the Atari Star Wars arcade one. This adapter could be useful in that endeavor.

I assumed it was a testing rig. I guess I meant "what specifically" and "where" was it obtained. That would be great for testing when having the case open. The original plastic keyboard connectors are so delicate.

What do you have plugged into the keyboard connector in this photo?

I'm in.

This 1978 Atari Inc Flag Capture picture label recently (Oct 04, 2018, 02:57:23 PM PDT) sold on eBay for $25.99. Someone got a good deal, no? https://www.ebay.com/itm/FLAG-CAPTURE-Atari-2600-Game-Cartridge-Picture-Label-Variant-Tested-Working-/401611585095?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137

Not sure if this helps, but when I post an Atari 8-bit related post on my blog, ATARI 8-BIT ADS, I'll get between 500-700 views. If a post is about something bigger than just Atari 8-bit related (and I "advertise" it), such as my post on the Hayes Chronograph, it can get closer to 1000 views. Bill

We had about 35 people or so show up the last two years at Atari Party East here in NJ. Not all Atari 8-bit computer users for sure, but at least Atari (in general) enthusiasts.

Ultima I Side 2 .atr attached. Copies from 1050 to AspeQt using Ultra Copy (with Translator) on an Atari 800XL. u1_s2_org.atr

Attached is a zip file containing U1 S1 using dtc -p -fu1_s1\track_ -g0 -y -i0 -i2 -k2 u1_s1.zip

For Ultima I side one, is this the format you want? dtc -p -fultima_one_side_one\track_ -g2 -y -i0 -i2 -k2 -b-8 Side 2 might take a bit longer. I don't want to destroy the disk, so I need to modify a 5 1/4. Bill

I'll try to create a raw stream tonight. I'll also look at the various solutions for side B.

Attached is a Kryoflux dump of the front side of the Ultima 1 diskette. In our current configuration, Kryoflux is unable to read the backside of the disk do to the missing timing hole. ultima-one-side-one_s0.atr

You should be able to use Audacity to capture it to wav. Then see this article if you want to convert the wav to a small flac file. And more info here.

Sorry guys. There is one less TX-9032 in the world.

OK.

Are you just looking for a dump of the cassette that comes with the plotter?

I helped out with a Palm Pilot game called Dragonbane II in the early 2000s. It really worked well on the Palm Pilot. It has a Bard's Tale look and feel to it. It also has a construction set so you can see how levels are designed and graphic resources are combined to create the look.

I had a chance to read the Advanced Reader's Edition of Alex Rubens' new book 8-Bit Apocalypse: The Untold Story of Atari's Missile Command and I wrote a review on my blog. The published hardback edition should include some 20 or so color photos and I'm looking forward to seeing what images the author decided to included.

I'll take a cart, box and manual if they become available.

0350 .BYTE $70,$70,$70,$70,$47; LMS, ANTIC MODE 7 0360 .WORD LINE2; (TEXT LINE: "THE BIG PROGRAM") In line 350, the last byte, $47, is actually two nibbles. The "4" means LOAD MEMORY SCAN. The "7" means ANTIC MODE 7. The LOAD MEMORY SCAN is a 3-byte command. So typically, the $47 would be followed by a two byte address such as $47,$20, $7C ... with the data to be displayed beginning at address $7C20 ($20, $7C). In this case, line 360, says to look at the two byte address (a two byte .WORD instead of a one byte .BYTE) LINE2 to find the data to be displayed. It is just using a label instead explicit memory address to find the data to display. If you had pre-stored the data for the text string beginning at memory address $7C20, you could have deleted line 360 and just used 350 .BYTE $70,$70,$70,$70,$47,$20,$7C The LOAD MEMORY SCAN just needs to know where the data to be displayed is. You can provide the address in different ways. Bill

I buy tractor feed paper on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tractor+feed+paper This place has rolls of thermal paper: https://www.paperjack.com/index.php/shop-paperjack/thermal-paper-rolls.html Not sure about tractor feed thermal paper though. Bill

I'd like to order one as well. Thanks Bill
