New Amiga 500 case crowdfunding campaign started

[New Amiga 500 case crowdfunding campaign started]

Unlike the thick quality cases of the Amiga 1000 and my Atari ST's, two of my Amiga 500 cases have not just yellowed, but broken into pieces. So, I ordered two of these on Indiegogo. I heard back in December that these cases would be available to order sometime this year and I am happy to see them.

[Atari 65xe Hardware problem...any suggestions?]

I'll try swapping the Antic chip, I believe it's in a socket, so it will be an easy pull...ram, I believe will have to be hard soldered and all the chips would have to be replaced in order to find the damaged one...I originally grabbed the 130xe since I had the 65xe and didn't figure the extra 64k would require more juice; however, I later found out that the 130xe power supplies that come with the machine are like 0.5A more than the 65xe's...amazing, but apparently true.

 

thanks,

[Atari 65xe Hardware problem...any suggestions?]

Hey,

 

Like many of you, I have been an Atari fan boy since my early teens and my first 2600 in 1982 and 600xl in 1983. Since then, I have collected a number of Atari's including my "beloved" Atari 800s. I picked a 65xe the other year that looks absolutely mint. It powers up, I believe clicking sounds are heard when pressing keys, but the screen is full of garbled symbols...do you think there's a faulty ram chip, or one of the custom chips that require changing...any suggestions? I have an 130xe that's beat-up that I am willing to castrate to fix this.

 

cheers,

Hey,

 

Looking for Ghoul's and Ghosts and possibly 1941 for the NEC Super Grafx...don't need a case, the hucard will be more than acceptable. I know it's not an Atari thing...I have just about everything I need for almost every Atari system.
