1088XLD - Custom A8 Computer in 1050 Drive Case
rockdoc2010 replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
So the cartridge slot will have to be milled out of the top case? The 90 degree angled slot of the 1200XL could work here with an extension to the backplate?? just haven't seen the cart come to fruition yet. -

Atari 8-Bit as a Legitimate Business Machine
rockdoc2010 replied to pixelmischief's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Was it an Atari? I landed in Kingman Arizona with a dead radiator. The Business i arrived at was a radiator shop. OLD SCHOOL! I saw him look up my part and it was definitely an 8 bit program. It probably wasn't an Atari but the whole process took me back to the 8-bit. His inventory was entirely driven by an 8-bit computer and the invoice was a digital representation of an 8-bit era printer. He still runs his tight inventory and clean billing on an eight bit. he didn't look for the part online! he saw that he had it in stock! I was blown away! and when your driving cross country.. he didn't rape me for cost. LABOR cost a bit but i made it on my way with no more overheating. eight bit worked for me. -
1088XEL Alternative Mother-Board Project
rockdoc2010 replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I am not going to start a new thread. I just wanted to show you my build. It cost a bit more, more.. But i have no intention or need to do this again with gold contacts. I will do the same when the 1088XLD comes of age. I was the last of the few that did this.. I wish I was involved when it happened. I cannot wait until i get my flashed PIC's Douglas- 1,443 replies

Bringing the 1027 printer back from the dead
rockdoc2010 replied to electronizer's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
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- 165 replies

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

1088XLD - Custom A8 Computer in 1050 Drive Case
rockdoc2010 replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
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 -
