TVC15

Thanks everyone for responding. Some very useful information there. I guess nothing really beats getting the same display as used back in the day. I just wish my 1802 didn't quit on me like it did or I'd be using that instead.

I do have a Commodore 1802 but just recently the color doesn't show anymore. It now only displays in black/grey colors! I used to have a 1084S that I used with my Amiga but that's gone.. So I was thinking of buying a new TV for an S-video hookup. Are the ones on the market right now not going to work at all?

I recently got an S-video cable to hook up my Atari 65XE to my LCD display. It doesn't quite work so well with the brand that I'm using it with which is Audiovox. I guess it's not the best brand out there and I understand that S-video doesn't work with all modern brands. My question is for those who have successfully made S-video work, can you please tell me which brand/model TV/monitor you're using?

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and Atari 8 bit computers. I recently got a 65XE and just yesterday a 1050 drive arrived. After hooking it up I slipped in the the only disk I have on hand (I've ordered a 2.5 dos disk which should arrive soon.) The disk I have is Pac Man for Commodore 64 but on the flip side, there is also an Atari version. Well, when I turned it on and the drive began whirring around I noticed that it squeaked a lot. It began to load the game OK but it seemed that it was taking quite a long time for the game to load. I can see the game information coming up (right before the game proper is loaded up) but that's all I was getting. And all the while the disk is whirring around and squeaking. I noticed that the drive is not going to stop and the game should have been loaded already. So I turned it off to try it again. Now, all I get is BOOT ERROR on the screen. Do I have a dead drive? Also, did I break the disk by putting it in the squeaky drive? I hope this is a simple fix because I have no knowledge of electronics. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
