Hey guys, I am having an issue with a Sdrive-max I put together. I cannot get the unit to start the sdrive.atr file. I have made 3 of these for friends with no issues at all but for some reason now I cannot get this one working. I have tested 2 x different UNO's I have and also 2 x screens. The sdcard is a known working card as this was used on my initial 3 I made. I am sure I am missing something. Can you please check pictures and let me what you think. Please disregard the soldering. I have removed and added the cables over and over again so doesn't look great. Thanks

Thanks for that. I was thinking would this have anything to do with the power supply being used? Also would adding a voltage regulator to the 12v line to generate the 5V for the mod possibly clean up the image?

Super old thread but did anyone get a solution to this problem? Just modded one and have the same display.

Found the issue. Had a 22k instead of a 22 ohm resistor. Replaced this and got picture. Now I have heaps of static which looks to be common going from another thread on AA but looks like there is no solution. Think I might put this one to bed now as have spent far too long in it.

Hey everyone, Someone has asked me to mod a Intellivision II console for AV. I have followed the schematic at http://wiki.intellivision.us/index.php?title=Intellivision_Composite_Video_Modification I have built 2 circuits on bread board and then tried to build one just laying out the parts and soldering the legs together so I can get a better picture of what i could be doing wrong. I am getting no signal at all. Normally on my CRT I will get some signal but I am getting nothing. I can tune in to RF no problems. I have attached pictures of where I am tapping 5v and also the circuit I am using. All values are exactly as the schematic except for the 660Ohm which I am using a 680Ohm resistor. Can some of the fine people at AA have a love over the circuit and see if I am missing something? Thanks

I ended up grabbing these. Have not received them yet but they should do https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CH-3-96MM-Pitch-Crimps-Connectors-Terminals-Molex-Contact-Plug-Socket-PCB-Copper/254187025602?hash=item3b2eba34c2:m:mZOL-exyk7owx4yP9tFYw8g&var=553553374570

Going to be making a couple of SDrive-Max devices for a local computer group here in Australia. I know you can get ready made connectors but I like to do things the hard way

Hey everyone, I am looking at making a few SIO cables using 3D printed parts. Just need to order some of the Molex crimp terminals. I found these which look correct. Can someone confirm? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lots-Terminal-Crimp-Pin-For-Fan-Connector-Plug-Molex-KK-Style-2510-2-54mm-PC-Mod/283084312616?hash=item41e923d028:m:mW9KwFWUAmh_cHIRtFGzsPw&frcectupt=true Thanks

I am interested in one also. Shipped to Australia

Yes that is fine. Could you just solder the cortex chip and I can do the rest. Put me down for a kit regardless. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Thank you. Put me down for a PCB and parts please with programmed Atmega chip. Thanks

How much delivery to Australia? Interested in PCB + Case + pre-programmed ARM + all required components for assembling

Yes I have a few more ready. Just send me a pm Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I know this is an old thread but wanted to see how progress went on this one. i am looking at making a universal type ESP modem that can be used on Amiga, Ti etc. How did you go with the CTS and RTS signals?

Great project. I have created a modem for a Commodore 64 using the same code as you are using. I had the idea of creating a modem for the Atari but I never got around to it. Glad your proof of concept works

I have 13 more available now. I could not get the battery holders so I have fixed batteries on these. They should last for years either way. PM me if you are after one. Same price as above.

Yes mate. i will have more coming. Made 20 initially but all sold in a day. Will have more in a couple of weeks

All sold. Thanks

Hey guys, I have a couple of joystick testers for sale. $14AUD shipped Worldwide. Paypal as gift or pay fees. $14.85AUD if paying regular Paypal DB9 connections. Works with 2 button joysticks like a master system controller. PM me if interested

It's such a shame that a store that has such a vast inventory of Atari products still insists on using such a crap website. The site has scared me in the past. Just trying to find something has been a nightmare. I have started a small online which I basically setup using the built in tools provided by my provider and if I paid someone like $2k they would be able to pretty it up. From the sounds of these guys turnover that would not be much in the scheme of things and the lost orders alone from people just saying "To hell with this site" would more than cover the admin costs of the site.

You can try http://www.emuparadise.me They have full sets for each of those. All you will ever need for your ever drives

Looks like you were correct. Received more nos EPROMs and tested today and all working perfectly. That was straight though as they are exactly the same EPROMs. Could be a problem with the one I was using. Anyway live and learn

Yeah I am leaning towards pp's version. 44 euro just seems steep for hhdriver.I did more research and there is definitely 4gb non-hxc cards out there. I understand the risks of buying from china but I use a program that fills the card then reads it back to ensure it is legit. If not a paypal claim goes in and I get a refund. In this age where the cards are so cheap there is no reason for selling a rebranded 2gb card just to make 50 cents.

Thank you for the information. There are non-HxC 4gb cards. I recall using one on an old PDA unit years ago. Just check eBay and found these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOPRAM-4GB-4G-SD-Card-non-HC-V1-1-Secure-Digital-Memory-Card-for-older-devices-/330894687595?pt=US_Memory_Card_Readers_USB_Host_Adapters&hash=item4d0adc3d6b Would these work?

Hey guys, I have a Satandisk on its way from sunny Poland. I have been looking into it and found 2 different HD Drivers I can use but wanted opinions on which is best. I see that most people refer to HDDRIVER. I have seen another one which is listed on this site http://atari.8bitchip.info/pphdr.php I see that the second one mentions only 2GB partitions available with a Satandisk but on the eBay auction it mentions supports upto 4gb. Any advice on which to get or advantages of each? Basically just want to play some games on the beast and also convert MSA images to disk. Thanks
