Oh yes! Now this is what I call a pimped A2e :-)

Would an amiga 1084 do as a composite monitor?

I registered today for it

Hi, I have an old, well they're all old now anyway , Apple IIe platinum that I want to "modernize" a bit. I have a Floppy Emu Deluxe on order and the machine came with a green monochrome monitor and a single floppy drive. I was wondering if there are any other popular upgrades that I could fit into the machine. I'm already planning a rebuild/replacement of the PSU and a good recap job as well. Maybe something to hook it up to a modern LCD would be nice since that old green monitor has seen better days (it was a school surplus machine that I bought in 2009).

I registered for one... Here's hoping I make the cut...

Rule the world?

Oh, my bad then...

Yes but you mentionned the release tab, which is a win/mac gui functinnaliity... For those on linux, a "--version" optional parameter is preferable.

If there's a command line option, you may add a "--version" optional parameter for those without gui.

Actually I did search (via google) and read one of the thread. But you see, situations evolve and business do go out without notice, hence why I ask if it was STILL in business and explained my situation. I admited my responsibility in this. At this point what more can I do? Send him a dozen roses and a box of chocolate? You know that the easy solution would be to just upgrade his shopping cart to something a bit more modern and/or accept Paypal.

Mmmm, I admited my part in this imbroglio so I'll sleep well at night. Especially since this thread was never meant as an attack against the guy. Since last week, I've spent over $1k on different retro eShop and eBay. This was the only one I had a "problem" with. It was also the only one that didn't use a modern shopping cart solution without Paypal, hence why I was a bit anxious. Again, if I cause any problem to the guy it was not intentional. Also of note, english isn't my main language and text on a forum doesn't carry emotion or intention very well. But I don't have any control over your emotions concerning this thread and I can only say again: I never intended for this thread to become a flamewar and have nothing against the guy.

Well, well, well I can relax now. For some reason, the email got to my old gmail adress instead of my outlook one... I haven't use that one for quite a while but since that was the one I used when I bought my sio2rs232 years ago I've decided to go check it just in case and yep the email was there... I guess I'm a walkin' talkin' case of foot in mouth disease...

First thing I checked... But alas, no email.

Thank you.

Again, I just want to reiterate that my intentions wasn't to start a flamewar against Atarimax in any way. I'm new around here and I don't want to be percieved negatively because of this.

My goal wasn't to start a flame war against Atarimax, but to understand why I haven't received any hint of what was happening about my order. I've dealt with many "ancient platform" web store and never had anything but good communication with them, until now. I did buy an sio2rs232 with the APE program years ago and that transaction went normally so I was surprised by this one. My intention by posting here was that maybe someone, maybe he has friends here, could reach him via a personal email and bring him up to speed about the fact that his web store isn't issuing a confirmation email/receipt after charging the customer CC. Maybe something is wrong with his shipping cart/CC processing service, I don't know! This purchase is for the usb version which I need now that none of my PCs have RS232 ports anymore. It's an $87Cdn purchase, not the end of the world but it's still money I would prefer not to lose or worry over.

Oh, ok. It's just that most web store sends you at least an automated transaction confirmation when they charge your card. Since I've not received anything I was getting a bit anxious. In any case, since he's someone well known around here I'll just relax a bit and wait for the postman :-)

Hi, I'm starting to get a bit anxious concerning a transaction I did with them last Monday. I never received any confirmation email or shipping info and yet my credit card has been charged. I've sent two email to them and also posted two message on their forum and still I've not heard from them. Is this normal for this online store?

...And now that those 1027 can be serviced and put back in action, people are now asking around $350Cdn on eBay for one new in the box... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Atari-1027-Printer-Home-Computer-Video-Game-System-Console-800-400/302380942540?hash=item46674f04cc:g:jkcAAOSw-ldZZVhs

Would a multiturn encoder, like those used in modern AV equipment coupled with an arduino to feed the CV with the correct translated signal be a solution?

I know but still That was in jest btw, I wasn't serious at all. Text on a screen is really a bad medium to convey intent and humor

Same here... I've been traumatized for life the first time I saw I had 35890 errors in my listing because I forgot a "." at the end of a line But my first job was in Delphi (Object Pascal). I then moved to .Net (vb & c#) and plain old C.

Commenting about the age of a piece of software is kind of funny on a forum like this one

Not today, but this week so far, I've bought: C128 sd2iec + a couple of sd cards 10x box of 10 NOS Kao DSDD floppy disk 2x serial cable (for my pair of 1541, I misplaced the ones that came with them) 2x C64/128 130XE SVideo cable One SVideo to VGA converter One new HP 19" 5:4 LCD monitor (That way the aspect ratio will be ok) One SVideo/Composite switchbox (I'm also hooking up my 130XE to the monitor) Final Cart. III ZoomFloppy SIO2PC USB with SIO jack

Pascal, or to be more precise, Turbo Pascal was used in commercial product dev. especially communication software for some reason. But mostly it was used in education because it's a strongly typed and structured language. It was the one of the languages that I learned in college, that and Cobol (yeah, I'm old...). When I got to university it was replaced by Ada.
