AtariNostalgia

It just stopped working. It makes no buzzing noise like it used to. Now after the horror stories I have read about these vintage power supplies, I really would feel much more comfortable with a new PSU. I've found US versions, and UK versions, but for some strange reason no continental European ones.

The one I had just died. I would prefer a new replacement not an original. Also, it would be great If it came with a continental European plug. I searched google and the forum, but I didn't find anything. Thanks!

But it works with a color monitor of the era, right? I mean it couldn't have been marketed as a B&W computer??

Does the Pal IIc even have color? I mean does it produce color internally, or is it done by external modulators, boxes, monitors...etc...?

there is a cable that comes out of the rgb port and delivers 2 composite leads. Would that work? On the NTSC machines, it works like a normal composite video signals. I attached a photo

I'm struggling to get color out of my IIc. I found this at RM. Would it give a color output? Anyone test one of these? Thanks. https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/reactivemicro-mini-av2hdmi-video-adapter/

So, I now have a fully usable system for games and using extended BASIC or RXB and saving. So far I have: The computer, obviously, the 32K RAM expansion with the TiPI (I haven't yet installed it), FinalGrom, and Ti Joysticks. I can't think of any activity I can't do that I want now. I'm trying to do the same with my Atari 800XL, but the peripherals are more expensive I think. Also I accidentally bought the Secam version (French) that has less colors but it works fine. In any case, my intention really is to start programming again in TI Extended Basic.

If other than playing games, which the TI has plenty of, you like programming the extended BASIC on this machine is a work of art. The no Pokes and Peeks will become such a beauty that will become evident fairly quickly. May I also add that this community is one of the best, If not THE best for support.

Can you save your own programs on the Sdrive or Fujinet? They just arrived, haven't opened them yet.

Does the sophia make it look like PAL? I mean for games.

That means it could be a totally different color!

Out of curiosity, what happens when a software piece chooses a color from the palette that the secam doesn't support, what happens? Do the secam machines go for the nearest color? Do they change it with a default color? What exactly happens?

Figured it out, thanks!

Is there a Paypal option? I get to the area where it asks for name and billing, which is usually for credit cards only?

It's been 40 years, time flies!

I also had no idea of this option. I'll get subscribed, it's worth contributing to this site.

Hi. I'm looking to buy a IIe (or IIe platimum) with cards preferred. I'm located in Greece. I prefer PAL but will consider NTSC models as well. Thanks.

Just an Update. It's been working fine with my monitor, everything seems fine, even when playing with my cartridges, I don't notice the 128 colors instead of 256, since it's the cartridge is obviously not using all of them, the colors seem fine. All in all, an interesting addition to my collection.

Thanks!

I guess I was judging from my now dead original PSU size, which I now realize was unrealistic. The only other thing is the lack of Watts info, but I guess knowing the Voltage is enough. I also thought the Amps would have been higher in order to accommodate for new addons like SD card hardware.

Thanks. Could you tell me who you bought it from in aliexpress? I have only ordered 1 time from aliexpress years ago and it was not computer related, so I don't know the site that well.

I mean will they be fake? I need one 74LS04 (7 +7 PIN) and a TMS9900NL (32 +32 PIN) Thanks.

I mean are the specs ok? I see the 15v but there is no watt indication. It also looks kind of small no? https://en.retrogamesupply.com/products/power-supply-for-apple-2c

Or like the Windows XP Media Center Edition, which I still have stamped in one of my retired laptops...

I think most of us who grew up in the age of the early 8 bit era are.?
