MR*Atari*

yes that's correct, i'm only looking for NON working / dead Chinon FB 354 large centre button drives from 1040 STF etc actually all i need is the facia / button and lower slide plate that the button is connected to but probably will take it all let me know if anyone can help thanks :0)

i'm looking for any dead 3.5" ST 157N Seagate hard drives basically i have some that spin but with dead logic boards, so all i really need is a working board from maybe a drive that doesn't spin if anyone can help please let me know thanks :0)

i have a Mega STE which has a prob, basically it works fine in high res mode with an SM 124 BUT not in colour low or medium resolution or with a TV either, it's just a dark screen with some randon vertical lines BUT i can hear sound in these modes (key click) someone told me the U501 chip which is surface mounted and custom to the mega STE can anyone advise what else i can look at? thanks and on another faulty machine i'm looking at i get 4 bombs just after the memory tests as it's about to go to the desktop 4 bombs = illegal instruction, processor fetched an instruction from ROM or RAM which was not a legal instruction what does this mean?

still looking for one of these if anyone can help

hi people if anyone has a Motorola 68030 processor as used in the falcon (surface mounted type) i'd be interested plus also the VIDEL IC (video chip) i'm also looking for the SCSI controller chip used is fine as long as they obviously work let me know...

bit of a long shot but i'm looking for a UK layout falcon keyboard with the grey keys don't mind what condition or if it works or not as i just need the grey keys i have actually got a French and Italian keyboard both NEW! (grey keys) so maybe if you are French or Italian! and you have a UK Falcon and want to swap your UK keyboard for a new French or Italian layout one please message me

i'm looking for the above it anyone can help thanks

hi all i have a falcon motherboard which does indeed work but does not work with the external SCSI II port/drive (a common issue i hear) anyway i know the external drive i am using and cable is all ok 100% as i use it on another falcon with no problems but this other board cannot see the drive, i use HDDRIVER 8.18 i even have a falcon test cartridge and that can't see it either i have changed the 3 terminators behind the scsi port and checked the F1 fuse all ok, so i am thinking it could be the LOGIC L53C80JC chip if anyone else has experienced this problem or could advise on what else to check i'd greatly appreciate it

helpful thankyou but sadly no PSU schematic i have a service manual and that has no PSU schematic! maybe it doesn't exsist?

hi i need a schematic for the falcon PSU preferably UK / Europe but USA would be helpful if anyone can help please let me know, a picture or .PDF is fine thanks

hi peeps i need the program disk for Steinberg Cubeat version 2 (NOT Cubase!) my original disk is corrupt does anyone know where i could download it? or maybe someone has it and can upload a copy? thanks

hi folks if anyone has any i'm looking for a 50 pin scsi hard disk for use with an atari, all i need is the drive not too bothered by size but a minimum of 100mb would be good can either pay with paypal or swaps? dive must be good with NO bad sectors PM me

recently got as pair of driving paddles and can't seem to find any games i have that use them! were they specific to any game? i have games like pole position,night driver and enduro but they don't use them! any advice please

hi all i have the above external floppy drive, this is the one with the blitz interface on the rear anyway i'm asking anyone who has one of these if they can look at their power supply the PSU is 5 volts (NOT 12v like most) but i want to know the MA (milliamps) as i need to get a replacement i've tried a standard one of those generic/universal types 300ma 3.6va and it's not enough also can anyone tell me how to measure MA (milliamps)

i'm looking for either an Atari SF 314 or SF354 single or double sided external floppy drive, all i need is the drive unit with the housing i do NOT need the 14 pin cable or PSU i don't mind if the internal drive is dead or faulty, i just need the main unit and i don't mind if it's yellowed either (but no breaks//damage please)

here's a pic you need to take the upper casing off and then it slides out (look just above the midi ports) it's a blanking plate for the graphics card if anyone has a spare one then i'm interested, don't mind what condition (though obviously not in pieces!) thanks Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Never noticed such a part on the regular Mega STs but I have two machines and I'll check for you Just had a check and can't see anything that matches the description....is this for a Mega STE? looks like i'll have to take a picture for you then as the first post says, MEGA ST it's just above the midi ports

i'm looking for the small ablong plastic plate that slots into the lower case part of a Mega ST, i think it's removed for graphics cards/expansion etc anyway if anyone has this plastic part, any condition i'm interested! thanks

ok i also have an STFM test cartridge, but only part of it, ie: the cartridge that fits into the cartridge port when i test the DMA i get "D0 - DMA timed out" error and according to my service manual this is what it says... D0 - DMA timed out, no DMA occurred due to faulty DMA controller, Glue or memory controller, or the HDINT interrupt was not processed by the MPF, the failure can be isolated by seeing if the DMA controller respondes to HDRQ from the test fixture with ACK. Verify the MPF by seeing that the HDINT input causes an INTR output from the MPF. sadly i don't have the rest of the test kit to verify

hi all ok i acquired this mega st 2 a long time ago in a bad way to put it mildly (dead floppy chip, 2 dead roms out of the 6 and 3 dodgy sockets for the blitter, MMU and Glue, all now replaced anyway after spending many hours on it i finally have it working almost 100% except for 1 thing it will not see or work with a hard drive and before anyone says yes the hard drive does work and is set to auto boot and yes it does work with TOS 1.02 that's in the mega (basically the hard drive works with a 1040STFM with TOS 1.02) so it should work with the mega whatever i try and do it will not see the drive or work with it, this mega did have some water damage to the rear corner of the motherboard by the DMA port (i have changed the port as the original had corrosion in the pins) and as far as i can see the tracks are ok on the board but i guess you can never be sure.. can anyone advise what else i can look at? i HAVE changed the DMA chip according to my service manual the MMU could be an issue? why would this affect it? anyway i shall change this... any help would be appreciated, i'm determined to get it back to full working condition!

Vortex is just like the megafile and is from the same era, it uses an MFM drive as i had one, not only that the Vortex needs special, software, you CANNOT use any other software than vortex to run it like the megafile it's probably the worst type of hard drive you can get for the atari just don't pay too much....

ok i'm still looking for a bracket i really want an original part, no home made jobs! best electronics wants to much money so i'm hoping someone here may have a spare? PM me please, can pay with payal or do a swap for something Atari?....
