    What's the difference between the 232 and the 232MBX? I was trying to figure that out when I was considering buying the MBX I just mentioned, but I was having some trouble coming up with a simple answer.

     

    The MBX has a Mail Box for incoming mail... Don't know if mine just needs updated firmware and a memory board add-on or what to upgrade it...

    Big, yeah... but you've gotta love all those lights, and the meter and dial.

     

    I guess part of the attraction, for some individuals, is that it can handle 2 radios too.

     

    Yep, the thing I like about the PK-232 is that it has multi modes and yes all of those LED's are nice too :)

     

    PK-9? are you thinking of the PK-900 or PK-96?  There is a new model of the PK-232 that has USB ports now.

    My PK-232 is a Plain Jane... You should get a PK-232 MBX at minimum.

     

    For TNC's with Packet I have the PK-232 and today the MFJ-1270B arrives. I also have a few PK-64's, one I plan on modding for the A8 :)

    Other TNC's are the Kantronics The Interface (3) and The Interface II (2), plus a Kantronics UTU.  Might have something else boxed up that I've forgotten about :)

     

    Have you bought any yet?

    Hi

     

    I have an atari 800xl computer with 1050 drive and alot of cartridges and a multicart. I was wondering if there was a way for me to backup my cartidges or multi cart cartridge to floppy disk.

    Please post a list what you do have, there are still quite a few that have not been dumped yet...

    All of the Carts from Atari Corp have been dumped though...

     

    I am still looking for Ham Radio related carts...

    3.0 ... Only basic BBs at moment have to learn the MCL language to change stuff. Hoping to see a 3.0 manual soon.

     

    James

    Could you make a copy of the disks and upload them?

    We only have version 1 in our (BBS Collectors) archives.

     

    Thanks,

    Me too :)

     

    My leg is healing better now, doesn't look like I'll need skin graphs after all.

     

    No, my mother had a stroke 6 weeks ago and it zapped a lot of her memory affecting her speech with the pronunciation of many words.

    I've been helping her with speech therapy since then. We have a big list of words that we practice every day and every day we find new words that are difficult for her...

    So, did you ever get a chance to set everything up and test it?

     

    Not yet, still need to make the cables between the 2m Radio and AEA PK-232, plus the cable from the Atari Joy Port and the AEA if it's different from the Kantronics TTL Port (which I already have)...

    That's it. You know of anyone who has one?! I am looking for the ACE80 / ACE80XL and or DT80 80 column cartridges for the Atari computers that I created and sold back in the early 80s. I need to borrow or buy them so I can create more. If you were someone or know of someone  Amiable Computer Enhancements or TNT Computing sold one to please respond here or email me at [email protected] Thanks!

     

    There is a rom dump of DT80 here https://atariage.com/forums/topic/161828-hooked-on-8-bit-carts/?do=findComment&comment=2476148

    I am a ham radio operator and was just wondering is there a database or website that has dedicated A8 ham programs?  I do have a packet tnc AEA PK-88 and PK-232MBX and would love to get those working on my 800XL. 

    I also did build the WEFAX interface from the Antic Magazine way back but either sold it, threw it out or misplaced it. It was a great interface for viewing direct satellite or shortwave weather faxes.  Just curious....

    Here are some programs that I typed in from some QST articles.

    The packet program might work on the pk-232, but haven't tried it yet on mine...

    US machines still often go below 100$ which might make a US buy with @tf_hh SCCC (new version in development) a cheaper option. For US to Europe shipping be sure to let the seller sell the transformer separately to avoid it smashing up the case. 

    And I've seen them sell for as much as $200 for the 800 only in the US in the past 2 months...

     

    What is tf_hh SCCC's project?
