    Yeah, I have bad dreams about my 8-bits not working any more.

    I think its a subject alot of people don't like to talk about.

    Prehaps we should pool together as a community and prehaps seek out contracts to build new machines or prehaps figure out some way to time proof the ataris, now that technology has gotten better prehaps air tightcases with a cooling system?

     

     

    a vaccum seal would stop any air corrosion issues..

    the trick is keeping the components working if u use it actively for say 25 years

    my atari 800xl from 1983 still works. thats 27 years... whats 27 more years to a circuit board not directly exposed to sunlight

     

    I predict that yellowing problem alot of people are seeing is a forbearnce of whats to come.. maybe a new production of cases may be needed

     

    I mean we have already lost the printers.. and a good bit of drives in 30 years.. my disk drives still work though.

    thanks, i am building my sio2pc now... its funny, i reg'd cause i needed something and someone said to pm/email them and they will send it, and i found it just looking for the person... odd...

     

     

    now i just need some decent project to do once i have my sio2pc and hd working :')

    Ive always thought that at least we could reuse the stepper motors inside the printers to build a really cool robot.. or you could build a plotter with a mini pen out of it...

     

    just because theres no ink doesnt mean the motors and electronics are junk.. find a new purpose..

    im going to be using the stepper motors out of my atari printer..

     

    im just waiting to see if anyone makes a new print ribbon..

    Here is the .atr image.

     

    What other programs will the touch tablet work on?

    Also..

    Does anyone have a cartcopy program.. I have tons of carts that need to be archived.

     

    Also yes booting with dos worked as well. but now i CAN run it on two machines at once with the atr.

    Have you tried booting from DOS with the cartridge inserted?

     

    When the computer is turned on, Atari Artist cartridge runs the standard OS procedures to load a DOS from a disk drive, which allows the program to later use diskettes. It works with normal disk drives, so in theory it should also work with SIO2PC. Have you tried loading a DOS ATR image before turning the computer on?

     

     

    Ok ill try that now.

    Dos 2.5

    Always loved this game. Would love to see a remake/update, using the incredible programming techniques all you code/hardware ninjas have discovered over the past couple of decades!

    I'd pay good money for J2P2 on a cart.

    Unfortunately, I'm in no position to offer useful assistance in this venture.

    I hope it happens!

     

     

    Yes, now is there any way to get in touch with jack verson the original author..

    i have read the faq of journey to the planets

    and he said he talked to the author.

     

    I have several friends who work at blizzard and we were thinking not only an updated atari version.. but how about a multi-player one with network capabilities for the PC? Ill work on the atari version for now.. using the source code provided by mark.. and thus it begins.

    How long before somebody uses Init of the Pokey as the name for their new band?

     

    Said in the voice of the emporer from star wars:

     

    Something something something, Darkside, Something something something... Complete.

    I apologize, the fujichat web site went away and I haven't had a chance to do anything about it... Meanwhile, here's a copy of the latest version.

     

    ATR image: fujichat_atr-0.4.zip

     

    The source archive is apparently too large for this forum software to allow as an attachment, sorry about that.
