  1. I found some old PC disks with "Dungeons and Dragons" listed on them and I want to see if they can be accessed; however, I do not have an internal 5.25 disk drive on my old PC so I am looking for one. PM me if you have one to sell or give away! Thanks!
  2. ALL MOVED TO EBAY 1/5/19 - and sold Atari 830 (base unit only, untested - includes warranty card and the missing rubber foot, I found it) - $45 shipped (2 lbs to ship) Atari 8 bit Star Parallel Interface (untested) - $20 shipped Apple II RS-232 card (untested) - $20 shipped Atari 8 bit cart lot (all tested and work - Basic, Defender, Star Raiders, Centipede, Pole Position) - $25 shipped
  3. We are all set, but thanks very much for your offer!
  4. Some don't post but that is not a requirement for participation ... though I do wish everyone would post pics of their Secret Santa loot because IT'S AWESOME!!! I have not received any PM's about someone not receiving their Secret Santa gift except the one individual who is being rescued as we speak.
  5. THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE SECRET SANTA GIFT PICS!!!
  6. Well, I went ahead and purchased a Playstation flashback but at least I got it for $59.99 and not $99.99. I think it can be modded to accept playstation files so I will probably do that. I think I would like to get the Intellivision and Colecovision FB too (wish I would have picked them up years ago LOL)

      I think my comment got cut off (if this now becomes a duplicate, please forgive). Just wanted to mention I advise everyone now to keep their toys/systems, you'll want them later. Things I wish I kept: Weebles Haunted House, Colorforms Dracula's Castle, Electronic Detective, and most sadly, Atari 520ST...

      I've kept everything after my mom convinced me to give up my original Atari since I had the ColecoVision expansion module...I agree! Keep it all if possible :)

      Smart move, GoldLeader, wish I was as ahead of the curve...now I'm doomed to pay appreciated prices...

  7. I am absolutely floored by what my Secret Santa got me ... of course my previous picture of the candy and gifts ... the candy has been long gone, gobbled up within the hour. The XA1541 cable and Star Commander CD for transferring .d64 files from my old windows XP computer to actual 1541 disks. This will be epic. I just re-booted my XP machine and it works great ... PLUS it has a working serial port just for Star Commander and my SIO2PC Atari cable. I absolutely prefer hardware/physical media (though I do love my SDrive Max!). I have a TON of old 5 1/4 inch disks just waiting for some Commodore goodness. Also some great Atari 8 bit disks - many original disks I did not have. The Bentley Compu-Vision TV Video Game (Pong) System - BUT WAIT!!! This is not your father's Bentley system!!! IT HAS BEEN MODDED JUST FOR ... ME!!! It has composite audio/video (the picture & sound are CRISP and CLEAR!), a plug for an AC adapter (a 2600 power supply - which I have!), two inputs for Atari 2600 paddles (and I happen to have a great set of working paddles) - but the included paddles also work perfectly, and four 'MOD' switches: A randomized angle, randomized speed, internal/external paddle selector and 2 or 4 player select. Push 'Left' to enable the mods and 'Right' to disable the mods so you can use the original buttons. In a word ... AMAZING!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you Secret Santa!!!!!
  8. Thanks to everyone offering to be a rescue reindeer. I will contact you in a few days to see if you are needed. Also, you may begin revealing who you were SS to!
  9. Those are all fantastic I will post my secret Santa pics as soon as I return from visiting family. Unfortunately our AA family may have a no show on the secret Santa front there is one individual who has yet to receive a gift and I have not heard one peep out of his secret Santa. I am still investigating however multiple messages to this person have gone unanswered I am just hoping nothing unfortunate has happened to this person and possibly they just got overwhelmed during the holidays.
  10. Looking for original disks only for: Ultima III (Atari or C64, it doesn't matter) Ultima V (Commodore) Ultima VI (commodore)
  11. Looks like there may be about 5 AAers who have yet to send their gifts out (or at least that is how many have not sent me tracking numbers or notices of shipment). Please confirm if you have not contacted me yet and I will probably be contacting you ... Yes, I am checking my list twice.
  12. Just a quick Secret Santa check in ... has everyone mailed out their gifts? We only have one week left for shipping. If you have not mailed out yet, please try to do so by tomorrow and send me the tracking number so I can let your recipient know their gift is on the way!
  13. That would be sweet, I don't have any inspector gadget TV episodes and I love that cartoon. Let me know when/if you find them and we can trade something or $$. Thanks!
  14. Received my SDrive MAX a few days ago. I followed the instructions and ... viola! It works beautifully. So far everything is perfect. It took me a minute to make sure I did everything correctly and to learn how to navigate the touch screen menu, but it only took a few minutes to be able to navigate like a pro. I am currently transferring all of my ATR and XEX images to the micro SD card. Thanks Gavin!
  15. Just got my SDMax from Gavin. It works beautifully. I have the 8 bit archives on my old Dell XP machine. I have not fired that thing up in probably over three years and today ... viola! It started without a hitch and I am currently transferring my ATR images to the mini SD. Thanks Gavin!

  16. Sure seems like this year's Secret Santa is a rousing adventure. I am glad everyone is having a good time. It truly is better to give than receive. Thanks to everyone for making me smile when I read this thread.
  17. Thats really fantastic the postal worker was helpful. Many are but unfortunately some are not and probably just transferred from the DMV
  18. Awesome I will definitely keep my eye out wait I should put it back in
