I've just received my Turbo Freezer today, thanks Panos. 

 

Now to read through the manual, and start playing with it.

[U1M 800XL mount]

It's a shame you over in the States, I would have asked you to manufacture two of these for me. They really do look good.

[Atari Freezer 2011 Declare Interest Thread]

Hi,

 

I'm still interested in one please.

[Greaseweazle new DIY open source alternative to Kryoflux and SCP]

Hi ijor,

 

thanks for the info. 

 

Another question, what software do you require for this?

 

Regards

[Greaseweazle new DIY open source alternative to Kryoflux and SCP]

I have a question of those who know how this works. If you can back up protected software for preservation with this device, can you also write disks from these protected back up files?

 

The reason I ask this is because I have several original disks (manuals and packaging) which sadly no longer load due to surface damage/degradation, and I would like to write a disk and then put the floppy mylar into the original disk sleeve. 

[Ebay prices bit of a joke]

Gnusto,

 

have a look here, slightly more affordable, but still expensive for a tape in my opinion.

[Atari 1050 Disk Drive Power-Up Failure]

Remove all socketed ICs and check there is no tarnishing on the pins and sockets. If there is clean them. If in doubt clean them.  

If you have a can of compressed air, blow through the sockets to clear any debris. Reseat all the ICs and test.

Hi TGB1718,

 

how are you getting on with  Happy 1050?

[What kind of IC is missing from this cartridge board?]

Very strange. When you examine the bottom set of solder pads, they don't appear to have been tinned ready for soldering, they appear to be bare copper. 

 

Also the solder in the through holes would appear to be from the wave soldering process.

 

[Happy 1050 ROM Dumps]

Hi,

 

try this.

[1050 Happy Problems]

Hi TGB1718.

 

if you can't find the problem with the board, I'm just up the road south of Lincoln if you want me to have a look at it for you.

 

Regards

[1050 Happy Problems]

It certainly can't hurt. I have this version of the Happy board and I found some of the soldering left a lot to be desired.

 

Does your board have a resistor pack across pins 8 - 16 of the 6502?

[1050 Happy Problems]

You should also check the value of the resistor, as it is not 4k7 ohms.

[Ultimate 1MB, Incognito, SIDE, 1088XEL/XLD U1MB Firmware 3.10 Released]

SIDE2 updated successfully, using FJCs video, great work there.

 

Now I need to get the Ultimate 1MB installed and then run the update.

[Happy May Day to Arari users around the world]

And a Happy May day to you Bee. Stay safe.

[Ultimate 1MB, Incognito, SIDE, 1088XEL/XLD U1MB Firmware 3.10 Released]

Hi FJC,

 

great video especially showing the different ways the updates can be carried out. I will be updating my Side2 shortly.

 

A question, can you do a video on upgrading an original Candle O Sin board from V1 to V2?

 

Regards

 

[Ultimate 1Mb Upgrade]

Hi Faicuai, thank you for the info, much appreciated. I can get on and update this early board.

[Ultimate 1Mb Upgrade]

Hi,

 

I have a Xilinx DLC9LP so I can update my early Ultimate 1MB. The problem I have is the leads that came with it, they are all 2.54mm connectors.

 

Does anyone know where I can source the 2.0 mm connectors from? I've been looking online and can't find any.

 

Hope you can help.

 

Regards

[Another Atarian leaves us..]

Hi Mclaneinc,

 

condolences to you and all of Bob's family and friends.

 

RIP Bob.

Hi Nezgar, I'm interested.

[Open 6810 Doubler PCB (for 1050 US Doubler Upgrade)]

I've built my first board up and is now working in my US Doubler upgraded 1050. It certainly looks more professional than piggybacking the two ram chips and having two pieces of wire soldered across the top.

 

Great work Nezgar.
