[Atari Light Pen Art - Yen Yang]

44 years in Korea might have some influence.

 

[Atari Light Pen Art - Yen Yang]

I know it's Yin & Yang, but it's my take on the form factor.

If it will allow finally for me to be able to transfer files to a Windows 11 computer, I am all in.

[Atari Light Pen Art DETROIT FALLS]

Thanks. I know it's an abstract.  I played with the Smear effect.  Looked to me like buildings getting buzzsawed.  Kind of a statement on urban decay.  So, Detroit Falls became its title.  Love Detroit, but it has gone through some rough times in the past 25 years or so.  Some place are seeing revitalization.  That's the positive news.

Signing off.

Thanks, but no need to warn.  I already responded that if it is not in line with established guidelines, to go ahead an delete said info.  God Bless you all....

[Anyone heard from Gunstar?]

I am not the Dr. Evil here, just trying to be of some assistance.  Again, all this info is online, public information. We just all hope he is well and good, healthy and happy.  I am sure he is. 

[Anyone heard from Gunstar?]

Found all this info just now in The Google.  Just trying to facilitate Mr. Doctor.  If you think it violates anything, then edit, delete. 

[Anyone heard from Gunstar?]

All is public info.  Nothing disclosed that a 10 year old cannot find, but I understand your sentiments.  Anywho, I found some email addresses and just emailed him.  He indeed may just be taking a break.  But I let him know we care and just want he and his the best.  DBM.

[Anyone heard from Gunstar?]

Gunstar, Matthew, HAS been silent of late.  I know it's not his busy season (that's summer).  So, yeah, concerned.  He actually lives up the road (about 75 miles) from me. Matt is an old AAAUA subscribing member as I am.  Matt, get in touch if possible. 

[Powering disk drives on or off with disk inserted.]

I agree, try not to insert/remove floppies while the drive is in spin mode.  Wait till the heads are parked.  That being said, and I am certain most here, have been impatient and yanked a disk out prior to the spin cycle not completed.  I have been fortunate not to has messed up either a drive or a disk.  That being said, patience is the word of the day here.

Is there something to prevent these from tipping forward and thus falling out of the brackets?

Watch the video.

As the Brits say, "Lovely".

There's been threads in the past, trying to figure out the name of the tune, who wrote it, etc.  I think it's still a mystery.  Also, it's a great tune.  I'll never forget it - I can't tell you how many times I heard it playing States & Capitals.

It is a catchy tune. Never "tuned" into it until today.  Love it.  This kind of stuff keeps me an Atarian.

2.  Soccer (Thorn EMI did the Soccer game).  So, suspicious?

[Atari States and Capitals Disco Opening Soundtrack]

All this recent talk of Cassette Recorders and S & C program made me load my original program cassette today.  I never thought about it until today (played it hundreds of times), but the opening audio soundtrack has a disco tune playing in the background while the data loads.  It sounds like a typical disco tune you'd hear in a 70s-era TV show like ChiPS or Dallas.  Funny stuff.  It appropriately captures the timeframe this program was created.  Mirror balls, lite dance floors and John Travolta.  I think Atari used that same track for other tape programs (those with separate audio and data tracks), or one similar to it.   

[Atari 1010 Power Plug Size]

Thanks again.  Did confirm the size of the 1010 PSUs barrel as 5.5MM (OD) X 2.5MM (ID) X 14MM length of barrel.  Got a couple on order.  

[Atari 1010 Power Plug Size]

Thanks.  Yes, the connector (barrel) is breaking down, intermittent within the molded strain relief.  I've cut strain reliefs open before and tried to solder the weaken strands of wire, but would just like to cut the old barrel plug off, and splice/solder and new one on.  Then again, 9VAC PSU are plenty plentiful.  Used to have a plethora of unused old cell phone adapters laying about, but alas, I must have dumped them in a spring cleaning.
