As the thread with this post is closed, I'll post here that we reversed this deal- I sold the 7800 XM Reservation back to SalemFrost7800 and so the pre-order that he made should be shipped to him. Cheers!

I purchased a 7800 XM pre-order a while back in this thread but have had to slim down my collection and no longer have a 7800. If anyone wants to buy it from me let me know.

I think the guy using the ST in the video is Prof. Dr. Bernd Zimanowski (see him doing the same volcano tube thing here and here, profile photo and more info here). He is German and has publications going back to 1984 so it's possible that he developed some custom ST software/interface in the 80s/90s that still works and was never worth updating.

I have one with a dodgy keyboard membrane (a few keys don't work due to cracked traces- could be fixable) that you might be interested- has a few extras such as memory cards and a reader etc. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send over some photos.

I have a dead 520ST that I've been salvaging spare parts from, case is fine as far as I remember. If you're somewhere in North America I could probably post it reasonably cheaply. Let me know.

Have you tried the version on Automation CD 242? ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/atari/games/Automation/A_242.ST There are also 3 versions in TOSEC (search in the page for "Shoot'Em Up Construction Kit") http://ia801904.us.archive.org/zipview.php?zip=/34/items/Atari_ST_TOSEC_2012_04_23/Atari_ST_TOSEC_2012_04_23.zip You could try those on an emulator first to see if they work and then transfer them to disk if they do.

I've just listed these: "H" by Universal Repro for 2600: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253037201997 Red Sea Crossing Repro for 2600: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253037183568 10 Atari 7800 games: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253037026749 6 boxed Lynx games: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253036892242 2 Lynx IIs for spares or repair: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253037216646

I've listed a bunch of Lynx and 7800 games fulfilled by Amazon Canada, search or click through them here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aag/main/ref=olp_merch_name_2?seller=ASVVEHBRLZEPV I didn't spend a lot of time setting prices, feel free to make me an offer on here if I've overpriced something and I'll reduce it on the site. I listed them here because I need to get rid of a whole load of stuff and I shipped it all to Amazon in a single box for CAD$10 - packing up and calculating the shipping for 60+ individual boxes is just too much effort for me. Also shipping is cheap (or free if you have Prime or order enough) within Canada, and hopefully shouldn't be too bad from the US either.

Forget-Me-Clock was released 30 years ago, probably the most popular standalone ST RTC, was mentioned in the thread PP linked to: http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/32516/Forget-Me-Clock%20II/ I acquired a few of these QMI DeskCart recently with a big lot of stuff; combines a RTC with a bunch of desk accessory utilities:

I've added one now

I have one if you are still looking; just to confirm, it's the one with an ST DIN plug at both ends, right? Not a D9 joystick-style connector (I have spares of both). Shipping from Canada though so may be more.

Amstrad PPC 640 with organiser software and copied disks for WordPerfect 5.1. Dual floppies, PSU, manuals, and carrying case. MSDOS 3.3. Shipping from Toronto, ON.

Two 1040STEs, one looks great thh other very yellowed, can be supplied with 4MB. 1040 STF in great condition, and a 520STFM. Shipping to the US is about US$50 for 1 machine. I'm going to test and photograph these machines soon; let me know if you are interested in any. Two AdSCSI Plus cards; one boxed with manual looks unused, on the other the connectors have been trimmed a bit to insert a PCI card type metal insert. Atari Development Kit; no idea if it's worth anything, would be sad to recycle it.

I have a very yellowed 1040STE that you might be interested in. I also have another 1040STE in better condition, a 1040 STF that looks even better, and a 520STFM. Shipping to the US is about US$50 for 1 machine. I'm going to test and list these machines soon; feel free to contact me if you want photos etc.

I have some SM124 and SC1224 monitors in Toronto Ontario, free with or without the purchase of the STs and other stuff I am selling

No, Game Gavel isn't hosted like that, as pointed out a few days ago it's one of the 'top sites' for this auction host with a sad dated website GLETech.com; they quote $29.99/month as the cheapest plan (unless they gave Mike free membership for life or something).

Component is not RGB. Using component input would require an RGB to component conversion box. I doubt that this would allow the monitor to work in a resolution that isn't available over RGB/VGA though. S-video would again require conversion as the ST only ouputs RGB, and RF & composite if it has a modulator. 30kHz horizontal is not low enough; needs to go down to 15kHz for low/medium res. There's a chance that it works with high res. There's also a chance that the specs are wrong as they are with the NEC 1970. If you get a video converter by someone like Extron or a Micomsoft XRGB (or one of the cheaper options such as Gonbes and various SCART to HDMI boxes) then you can use any modern monitor with the ST, which is probably the way to go. In general if you pick a random monitor that isn't listed on (nor part of the same series) the Wiki page shown above, and that doesn't list 15kHz horizontal in its specs, then the chances are very very slim that it will work with the ST's low res without some conversion hardware.

That's just hilarious; GameGavel's auction hosting provider itself is a mom & pop shop with a 15-year out of date website. Putting two and two together, I wonder if there are any examples of Mike picking up 'bargains' on GameGavel (using his Admin access) and flipping them at a higher price on eBay? I wouldn't put it past him. Even if he isn't doing it, it's pretty shocking that the owner of an auction site both buys on that site and sells on eBay.

Yes, the great thing about these multisync LCD monitors is that they do both low and high resolution (and a usable in emergencies version of medium). The old ST mono monitors ground a 'mono detect' pin on the monitor port when they ate plugged in. The ST boots into low (or medium if the desktop has been saved in that res) 50/60Hz or high 72Hz depending on the state of that pin. Plugging or unplugging a mono monitor reboots the ST. In high resolution the 'low and medium' options are greyed out in 'set preferences'. If you go back to the start of this thread there's an example of a cable that does both High and Low/Medium. Best Electronics sells a similar cable. It uses a switch instead of plugging/un-plugging the mono monitor.

They had his word as a gentleman, and a firm handshake, which should be all that is needed

I have a spare XRGB-3 that could be traded for Reboot/STre-release Jag carts

I panicked when I saw this on Friday night and was relieved to make it on to the list, have paid and can't wait!

Gridrunner! The iPad version works really well with a Competition Pro 5000 and a Bluetooth NES pad thing, the ST version would be awesome to have on the Jag!

I seem to remember a screw hiding under a security sticker, I don't recall it being hard to open. Usually the problems are with broken traces on the mylar itself, this page about the (identical) TT keyboard has good photos and info: http://www.mr2.net/marknias/atari_tt030.html#Keyboard When I do remove keycaps, I use a Cherry MX keycap puller, but a small loop of string looped twice under the key works well too. Just make sure that you are pulling straight up, without rotating the key. Removing the outer case first might make it easier to get at the keys. Also don't pull too hard if it doesn't want to go, on some STs the keycaps are glued on.
