Easiest way to remove the silver disc on the CV controller
Centurion replied to MMarcoux66's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I think it probably depends on how well the old glue is sticking. I've removed a few and some almost just fall off, while I had one that was a bit more sturdy and the disc bent slightly while removing it. IIRC it's sort of like a thin metallic coin and I was able to bend it back to shape quite easily and reapply it. I used a really small/thin screwdriver to pry mine out. Warming the disc with a hairdryer might soften the glue a bit, but wasn't necessary for mine. Hope that helps a bit -
Thanks for clearing this up for me. I ordered a couple of receivers and am gonna do the mod and play around with it a bit.

@RevEngThanks for this mod tip. Do you know if these should be safe/work with Atari compatible DB9 systems such as Commodore 64/128, Atari 8-Bit & ZX Spectrum? Also do the two buttons work with 7800? Just curious if this mod will be safe to use on those systems or not. I have been wanting a general use DB9 wireless solution for a long time!

PLATOTerm 1.0 Released for Atari 8-bit computers!
Centurion replied to tschak909's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Thank you! So awesome you're doing this. Looking forward to getting my A8 online. -
I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my A8 online. I left sort of an oddball question that I never got a reply on and haven't had time to delve further into it than that yet: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/196354-ataris-plato-cartridge-question/page-18?do=findComment&comment=4132119 I'm still working towards connecting, just not easy when I'm having to pick out little bits of info from tons of posts over the years. If I can figure it all out, I plan on writing an A8 guide. I have an 850 now, just trying to use a Pi for the bridge, instead of an Lantronix. Keep up the awesome work man.

I'm curious. Would this method work with a Lotharek SIO2PC/USB instead of using a Serial-to-USB cable? Similar to this method, which describes how to use SIO2PC/USB for serial connection: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/249426-sio2pi-atari-as-a-terminal-for-a-raspberry-pi-visiting-bbs/?do=findComment&comment=3450741 Atari > 850 > SIO2PC/USB > Pi Or will it only work using the Port 1 on the 850? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
