    I'll post the cas and xex images of the cassettes that are Missing on AtariMania soon :)

    I am more or less in the same situation but i am only missing the "main communictors boxes", the boxes for the telelink I and II and the Atari 835 user's manual (I have never seen one really).

     

    But i would prefer to get boxed mint packs like this.... :)

     

    Yep, me too :)

    Used to have one that I bought new in '85, but the 850 burned up in just a few days, so I had to return it. Ended up getting an MPP-1000C...

    What were the differences between the 1400 and the 1450 mainboards?? I have pictures of each that I took at the CGE2K10 in Vegas and, with the exception of a couple components and the cutaway at the cartridge, they look identical.

     

    One thing that sticks out is the lack of the floppy board controller Header Connector on the 1400...

    But otherwise, looks very similar, except for the location of C66.

    @Vandal968.

     

    1) What bin image did you use for U12?

    2) Is U7 the same as the XL/XE MMU?

    3) What OS rom did you use?

     

    Thanks,

    Jay

    1. I didn't. I bought the programmed chip from Best Electronics. This information is in the BOM along with the price that I paid for the chip and the part number to order.

    2. No, different parts, also purchased the programmed chip from Best.

    3. If you are talking about U4, it came from a broken 800XL. If you are talking about U6, the blank chip came from Best (it's a standard chip) and I programmed it with the dump provided by Bob1200XL. This information is also in the BOM.

     

    If you guys are serious about building this thing, you should really RTFBOM. I spent weeks putting this together, 90% of the work of building this motherboard was figuring out the BOM. Now that it's already been done and tested and given to you free of charge, all you have to do is read it and start building. I'm happy to answer any questions that come up or clarify anything that isn't clear, but I think that the BOM itself is the correct first-place to look for the answers. I consulted the BOM to answer the questions above, the same BOM that I posted a few weeks ago.

     

    I used to work with a very-wise programmer who taught me something.

     

    "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. TEACH a man to fish, and he'll be back in a few days asking you to teach him how to fish again."

     

    LOL.

     

    cheers,

    c

     

    Okay, thanks for the clarification :) and I had downloaded and RTFBOM that you updated on 8/30/11, but didn't catch the rest from Column "L" to "S" :D

    Yep, I didn't go back - the box truck is in the shop, some maintenance guy ran over something.

     

    I called Bill and said if nobody snatches everything up that I'll be back sometime in the next couple of weeks.

     

    I think it is a huge dissappointment of stuff, but he won't let the software go without taking the hardware.

     

    AtariGeezer: I think it's close enough - give him a call and take a ride up there!

     

    Yep, I've called Bill about 45 minutes ago and he said that too. Told me to call back to see what that guy decides...

    He kept mentioning that "No pick-n-choosing" all or nothing. Even sounds hesitant for me to just look.

     

    How "Bad" of a dissappoinement is the hardware? rotten boxes, dirty or ???

    Guess he didn't go back for the 2nd load. Just called the guy in Alpine since the ad is still listed on CL and it appears that the Vic-20's, 64's, monitors, disk drives and 40 boxes of C= software are still there...

    Some guy is up there now taking a look at what's left, if that guy doesn't claim it, I'll take a ride up on the bike and do a physical check of what's left and see if it would be worth while to get. If so, I'll get a u-haul tomorrow :)

    All of my ELPAC power supplies (that I have pulled out of storage) have screws in the base - assume they can be opened.

    What OS ROM do you have? I know your PBI ROM is the same as mine.

     

    Bob

     

    Speaking of roms, where can one download all rom & pal images for the 1400/1450?

    I see that Curt has the Salt & Talking Terminal cart roms on his site, but that's all I've seen so far...

    Do you have a boxed ATARI COMMUNICATOR I or II PACK for sale?? :D

     

    Anyone??

     

    I've been looking for those too, but haven't found one under $200 yet :)

    So I've been building them piece by piece, now have 3 working 850's, 830's w/psu and TeleLink I carts, but no boxes and as the II goes, have 3 835's (1 works) with 2 TeleLink II carts...

    Hope to find boxes and manuals for a decent price one of these months :)

    You might be on to something there. I have the Basic ROM for my Hero (although I don't use it; I program in Hex) However, if I were to access the speech from it, I know you have to put a STOP phoneme (or PA0 or PA1) at the end of the string. Perhaps that's it? I remember when I first starting fooling around with speech that if I didn't include the Stop, even though I had the correct commands in there, it didn't talk right...

     

    I believe PA0 and PA1 are a pause period.

     

    Here is a datasheet on the SC-01
