I'm in for one assembled, mainly because I'm too wussy to assemble one myself. :-)

I took the case off of the Side2 I use with my 1200XL. It’s not the best solution, but it works well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Goonies! I think we had to use a cheat to get through it, but the ending scene was worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's the way mine works, it selects a cart to boot on start up. I have no idea how it selects each cart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's the best way to set up Mad Pascal under Windows 10? Can I just put it in the path?

Lack of 80 columns was huge for me when I started college in fall of '87. That and good VT100 emulation. Most work was done on the IBM mainframe and Vax, which I couldn't access very well. The Chameleon terminal emulator was passable, and I would have killed for Ice-T then. AtariWriter was awesome though, and guys from my freshman corridor wrote papers on my 800XL in AtariWriter. Two years later and I'm taking a 1040ST to college, Uniterm was the bomb on the monochrome monitor, 132x49 FTW!

10.5 was the last version that ran on the PPC macs.

Like Bill said, companies at the time didn't really know how to market computers and were trying anything. Atari had a chance, since in '79 the Apple ][+ was a joke compared to the 400 or 800. They would have owned the education market if they would have pushed at all. But, Atari needed to lower the production costs of the 8-bit line. The 1000X concept drawings look fantastic, but Atari went with the 1200XL instead. And the 1200XL suffered from two flaws: lack of 80 columns and no PBI. If the 1200XL would have launched with 80 columns and a PBI, it would have smoothed over the issues with compatibility since the newer machine added capabilities over the 800. This enhanced version of the 1200XL would have competed favorably against the Apple //e that was being released with 80 columns. With such a machine, Atari could have competed well in the education sector and the business sector. The final piece would have also been released in '83, and that is Action!. What would have happened if Atari built Action! into the 1200XL (Basic would still be available as a cartridge)? How could the Apple //e compete with such a system?

Plus, with the U1M, you can load Deluxe Invaders into one of the ROM slots and always be ready to play.

You can also get an FTDI breakout board and some header wires and create your own for under $5. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/182392-sio2usb-with-a-ftdi-basic-breakout-board/ Use RespeQT for the software on the computer end.

Yeah, most people around here called them tapes, starting with the 2600. Even when the NES was released people called the games tapes. Cartridge must have been a tough word to say for people in the early 80s. :-)

This whole thread seems to be a scam to charge people $20 more for Atarimax's 5200 SD cart on eBay.

I know this was brought up earlier in the thread, but now that the XEL-CF is pretty much finalized, my question is, will it work on U1M machines such as my 800XL? I dislike the SIDE2 taking up a cartridge slot...

I second this. I used the UAV to add SVideo to a 600XL, and the output looks as good as what I get from my VBXE -> GBBS8220. My 7800 needs me to get around to installing it next...

I'm never the one to stop beating a dead horse.... Tonight I dug out my original copy of Rescue on Fractalus: And booted it up on my Incognito 800 that has never (to my knowledge) had anything ever done to the video, and here's what I get on my Commodore 1702: Exactly as I remember, goldish characters on a brownish background.

Do a search in the forum the the UAV.

Once it's fixed, what size of ATRs will it support?

Oh, and beside going with this, if you are developing a game and want to use an SD card, then you can go the micro controller route that electrotrains used for the Uno cart. I think the cost that came up was less than $10 per cart.

Well, the SD in SD card is an acronym for secure digital, and the standard does have DRM built in. But, yeah, this has WTF all over it. Why not include the 8-bit computer line too?

I always saw the background as brown... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if each individual copy is watermarked with the purchasers name or some identifiable information. Is it worth the trouble to compare the md5 of the cart for those that bought it?

Are you requiring personal information and a confidentiality agreement with every person who has bought a cartridge? They are now in possession of a binary of the game and can do whatever they want with it. Cartridges can easily be read, they do not offer any copy protection.

This is tough because the prices dropped pretty quickly, whole memory increased. I think my 800XL was a little over $100 and the 1050 was around $200 in December of 84. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
