I had a post over in the ST forums and someone said it sped up disk transfer rates.

Atari STe 4mb for sale. All cleaned up and all plastics de-yellowed TOS 2.06 is socketed. YM2149 is socketed. Passed all Z tests with an official Atari Diagnostic Cart. NO MOUSE. ( I need it for testing ) Power cord. 15 pin Monitor out cable ( Composite out ). NEW 3.25 floppy Drive. $300 plus shipping from Portland Oregon

Thank You for the reply PLM. It is appreciated. " I’m guessing ( probably wrong )" - were the words I used. I didn't ' expect ' to be correct.

I’m restoring this 4mb STe and I found this mod in it. I’m guessing ( probably wrong ) it’s a 32mhz mod? Any information on this mod would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

I have three 800xl's with brand new motherboards from Best Electronics in them. *** UPDATE : TWO HAVE SOLD *** $115.00 + Shipping. Cases have been cleaned and the Keyboards are 100% functional. Add a Video cable - $20 Add a USB Power Supply - $20 Add a Original ( NOT Ingot! ) Power supply - $30 They still have the RF shield on the Motherboard, and come with a copy of the purchase. ( I bought three at once ) The 800XL's are fully Tested and running fine. Those are 48k 400's on the shelf, also for sale. THEY come with the Sdrive2. PM me or use my website Email : Eightbitfix.com Thanks for looking, Peeps Paul

Not if you have a working 130XE. However, upgraded, they have the smallest footprint of any 64k machine and ALL 600xl's are socketed, meaning easy repairs if they need them. If your 800xl is made in Hong Kong, it's socketed too

Hi guys, I have 5 600xl's. I cleaned the cases, cleaned the motherboards, installed 64k ram and ran full tests on a official Atari 8 bit testing station. *** UPDATE *** - ONLY ONE LEFT AS OF FRIDAY 2:26PM 5-17-2019. * WOW THOSE WENT FAST * Stock video. Everything functional. They are $75 each and that is for JUST THE COMPUTER. No Power supply or A/V cable included. -- PLUS SHIPPING! -- Pics are just an example. The mod is the same on all of them. PM me if interested. Paul

Have you tried the 130xe on other TV's? I'm leaning towards the Modulator..

I have a drop in replacement sitting on my bench Tested with SuperSalt and running great. It was a 800 I bought off Ebay. Arrived in pieces, as did the 810. Caps are good and I cleaned it Well with Qtips and rubbing alcohol. ( as usual )

That's friggon' Awesome! Thanks for the reply! Now I'm wondering if they could do an ST port to the Jaguar and code it for the Jaglink.

When I fired up the STe with the midi floppy, it was set as a slave. Ill get to it this week and report back. Looking forward to it! Thanks for the replies guys😀

You MIGHT try Brad at Best Electronics. His 30+ year tech has many skills. Paul Edit: Just try cleaning everything with a Qtip and rubbing alcohol first ( including the head )

[email protected] He is my disk drive guy. Good Dude. Lives in SoCal. Paul

Hi Ya'all! I have the Midi Mate and Midi Maze Prototype on cart for the 800xl. 4mb STe with Midi Maze on floppy ( on the Lotharek SD Drive as well ) Plenty of Midi cables. Has anyone tried this? and if so, how many Computers will it handle? I have two Midi Mates so I could link up at least three computers at once.. Thanks, PAul

Have you tried adjusting the color pot? You didn't mention anything about that in your post.

I've purchased brand new mobo's from Best Electronics and they still had bad RF out. Try using a 400 / 800 RF cable with a round magnet in it.

A Galaxy S5 note3, 2.0 amp USB power supply is what I went with - $5 Ebay free shipping. HTC USB 1.5 amp is fine for stock systems , I'm using the 2.0amp in my stereo U1 800XL. PAul

Best thing I read today was this, and I read a lot.

WORD Thanks for doing this!
