Hay kinda the same thing here. I would love to help in the process. I don't care if it sounds like a machine gun but has anyone thought of silicon? Kinda a pink orange rubber that is very easily molded yet I am unaware if it work well at these small dimensions. Side note... I am VERY interested in a clean case to mod a 1200XL keyboard enclosure for a 1088XEL build. Thanks! I will repost in WTB. But feel free to PM me Douglas

Wow you have a printed case! so you do that sort of thing on your offtime..hehehe is this tru? also can i use two dual cf adapters? I really like the pretty blue top lid but i already have the dual backplane, so.....are these units compatible like the multi IDE cables suggest?

sorry the piano was drinking. i tried to plug in the idc into the JTAG

He evidently used a micro header in stead of a standard IDC header..

So anyway I got the new U1MB from lotherak and the large headers work like a charm but the little header dont fit at all.. Douglas

BTW, What is the key capacity? can i use a 104 key? Atari only had a 54 key board!???? Douglas

Found it and i am in grossed in fingering it out thanks. I thought the schm files were for your mini boards but it seems that the most of your mini boards are connector space.. Thanks Douglas

But the switch matrix is mechanical and the drivers are needed to use this thru the joystick port. but you could in theory wire the switches into a 1200XL or likewise keyboard during breakout.. ie wire the CX85 swithces to your mylar.. Douglas

I would check the connector at the motherboard as well as the resistors associated with the data lines from the keyboard. Get the matrix as in last post and test continuity between the switch matrix

A pinout of the TK-II would really help.. Thank You! Douglas

Just a question about old midi vs new midi... I see that BEST is selling an old ATARI MIDI peripheral. Are there any differences in the new MIDI keyboards vs the ones from the mid eighties? In other words if the new keyboard has power, MIDI in and MIDI out, I would think it would work with the older ATARI MIDI peripheral. Douglas

can anyone tell me the orientation of Q3 and Q4 transistors under the Pokey chip? Douglas

I may be old school but I am not one room old school.. Can I run the UAV as well as the VBXE simultaneously? Douglas

where did you get that white motherboard image?

Mouse select?! I remember back in the 19th century latter half.. I bought a Thing called a RAT. It was a Mouse for the A8 but it was aptly named I also had a thing called the Parrot (sic) which was the first entry into audio recording for the A8 sorry tangent.. So can I use a stock ST mouse with this mousetari thingy? I do recall that a hack could be done on a stock atari trackball to turn it into a mouse.. damn i am old! Anyway I am more interested in a stock 1200xl keyboard (with the cx-85) keypad (WIRED IN FOR NO DRIVERS NEEDED) for my 1088kel laptop build BUT BABY STEPS are good. ONE 1088XEL is good lemme go back to that Douglas

But me and Paypal dont get along and Wells Fargo thought Fraud because i bought out of country... so i am in limbo for the purchase.. [email protected]@it Jim! Douglas

His page states that all of them are now with straight header. Current rate is 84.95$ with shipping. Douglas

I dunno.. But he is selling this one now for 64$ USD I do believe. It is called the U1MB Upgrade. Douglas

Lotherak's U1MB Upgrade Douglas

BTW i know how to desolder stuff.

anyway it doesn't matter Lotherek is gonna send me one with straight headers. yes i will pay but then i have two of them. Douglas

Turns out they are 9.10 apiece but they are gold plated.. also i spoke with a hacker on another AA trend and he stated that the dual decoupling caps actually will help any noise. I just felt that a build would require a good foundation Douglas

well i have done that. i take them out one pin at at time and stop after four or five. i come back later.. frame of mind or the what not Yes desoldering means destroying a board if not done correctly. I hope it lives till the morrow

thank you for the clarification.. the lost pads will be dealt with i hope at the source i have cash but 70$ for a header issue chaps my hide! Once again i bow to this build. not you but all of the guys involved have made my day! i can solder and i understand a bit but i do bow to those that make the ATARI live beyond its years,, If i could get you all together in one place I would buy you all a very expensive shot of scotch! and then i would ask if you had any spare parts...
