Absolutely - I love all the sounds of the A8's. And yes, even that lovely mechanical keyboard. The nice snick snick / chunk chunk sound it made. One day I may get a mechanical keyboard for my modern PC, but they are a bit pricey! My dream would be to find a way to convert an A8 keyboard to a USB input so I could use it with a modern PC, but that's a bit beyond me I'm afraid.

This is music to my ears! Thanks for posting these

Mmmm scrumptious! I think I will have another! Delectable! As was the first! I love Brian Regan's material, definitely my favorite comedian. I have the "Take Luck" shirt, probably one of my favorite shirts

Exactly what I wanted them for

Hahaha you guys are the best, this is an awesome thread!!! Thanks for more excellent boot sounds. I love the compiled boot MP3!! Yess! So cool! I saw you mentioned tape-loading drives... I was talking to my Uncle about all this, and he said it would be neat to hear a 1040 tape drive loading. So maybe kr0tki (as you mentioned) has one of those and we could get the sound for that too!! He also mentioned he liked the "1040/Percom disk boot" - is that the same as the 1050 sound, or different? (my knowledge of Atari's & disk drives doesn't extend this far)

Can life get any better!? I submit to you that it cannot! Thanks again Hiassoft!

HAPPY!!! Oh I remember that disk to make the drive "Happy"! Listening to these are the BESTTT!!! I'm such a geek! I'm sitting here pumping my fists in the air and laughing listening to the Boot-1050 and Boot-Happy! Hahahah Thanks Hiassoft!!!!!! +100000 points

@Stargunner You are correct after I listened to it. It isn't the sound I was looking for, but close. I'm still saving the one @Hiassoft made for me. I've put it on my phone If anyone else can get the exact sound I'm looking (see Video in first post) that would be AWESOME Thats the sound I remember from my childhood rocking out to the Atari 800

You sir, are the best. THANK YOU!!!!

Hello! AtariAge newbie here. I was curious if anyone had a good quality recording (no background noise) of the Atari Booting/Beep sound? Many people found it annoying, but I find it nostalgic from my childhood days loading game after game on my Atari 800. An example of the sound I'm talking about can be found in this video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJOLWRVbZRI -- jump to around 17 seconds and you'll hear the sound. I love that boot sound! All the blips, sometimes the long farting type noises LOL - awesome. Anyone have this, or can they get it in a nice format? I don't care how long the sound is. It can be 1 minute of booting. I love it! Just curious, thanks -FM

I know I'm totally necro-ing this thread... but how far did you get with this project? I am curious if it's possible to mod an Atari 800 keyboard into a USB keyboard as well. I'm going to work on a project where I would like to be able to utilize the Atari 800 keyboard. I just have no clue how to do it >.<
