It's 5:30pm in france right now! - thats night.. lol waiting excited. Really have to work on my french. ARGH! James

moi aussi

yeah the falcon one is up on ebay now. Is it the 28th yet??

I am in Canada, a $28 US cart right now is over $50 CDN with shipping. I could print enough for all my friends for that kind of money. just need the STL to do it!! @Mr Robot IF you could it would be amazing.

Nothing of the Sort, on my desk at the moment I have my TT030 which is going to be my development machine (as much as I can force my old brain to learn!!!) and my Mega STE - my daily.. with RGB2HDMI - and monSTer card.. should be a very nice gaming playing machine for that!! Does frank lucas have any Nova Cards left?

very cool, Im in on this when it comes out.. HMMMM how about Ill use my MEGA STE

A spare ASCI to SCSI adapter? nope - anyone have a COSMOSEX they dont want??? Ill buy that!

The joystick/mouse port on the side.. Made the ST TOTALLY a crap machine. IF your using a game machine ok.. but to have to unplug and plug in something under the machine itself.. WAS A JOKE. MegaST MegaSTE and TT are the only machines worth a damm in the line. For expansion, upgrades, keyboard (megaST cherry keys) The all in one ST was so.. 1984.

no completely different shape PCB.. and besides he wants to sell me the cart.. I want to print it myself. But thanks. James

Has anyone reproduced these, with the pin locators for the circuit board? I have a reproduction PCB that fits into a SParta shell perfectly.. but I dont want to use my Sparta shell, I would like to print up something instead. Has anyone done this? James

I thought (I will try and read it again) but can you not change what is in the cartridge slots of the Incognito and U1mb through flashing - Yes much more arduous to do, but you could load .rom files that way no? James

Personally as a storage replacement? Fujinet is no APE or AspeQT/RespQT - you can load HD images, mirror drives, not just simply load ATRs. Fuji is just another gadget - not so much better, just different. Now if I was new, and did not own an 850 PR:C or SDmax or had a few floppy drives(ALL OF WHICH I HAVE) then sure I'd grab a FN - good bang for the buck. but I would not necessarily say it does it better or replaces things. ps. yes I own an FN

Although since you were the first reply I guess my theory was correct.. not enough interest.

Well I love my APE software, the issue with that is, not all the features are usable on some of the generic hardware. USB devices especially. I love it though. Using AspectQ on my machine with the 1088xel FTD232RL .. wont work with APE. James

Wait there was this whole debate in another thread.. is this not open source?? should not development just be flurishing because everyone and anyone can get their fingers in it? Wait.. I guess you have to have interest.

Well I would say that FJC has a side to be taken..

Well, it was the PIA .. I replaced the SIO and the PIA - and we are back up and running. James

Anyone know how to remove these clips WITHOUT destroying them??

So this is pin 2 - clock out - and it was touching pin 4 gnd. pin 2 is now broken. I have to replace the sio.. but could that have killed the pia? because even when straightened out I was still not getting anything.

SO I have an 800 with incognito and SCCC - all is good except - I cannot get any device to be seen by the OS on the SIO.. no hardware seems to be seen. (FN, S-Drive, Floppy) AKA - I can turn on the system with my S-drive max attached.. it has the access status lights.. they are going off.. something is trying to communicate.. BUT nothing will load. IF I get to a SpartaDOS prompt and try a DIR I get error 138. Some have suggested POKEY. I have swapped that out, same issue. I guess I will try the PIA now, as thats the other IO chip, but wondering if anyone has any other ideas?? James

Well got it in, hotglue was my friend! I routed the cable around the plastic cartridge cage.. and then hotglued it, so it stayed tight while I put the metal cage back over it. Worked the charm.

ok, the Hlt / RDY lines I think were my issue. not sure.. I redid a few connections and we have the screen back.. and we are booting. Unfortunately my original issue and why I decided to put the SCCC in now is not fixed. SIO issues.. but thats another thread. James

ahh.. actually I do in a box, never opened.. Great idea. Its a step.. but actually I would like to know why its not working !!

I removed that years ago. I have nothing that can hook up to a TV via RF..

Sorry, guess you have not done this mod - once you remove the components from the video circuit, you cannot get the built in video out anymore - I removed the components - the caps that were on the output lines did not survive the removal, so I cannot put them back in if I wanted to. James
