Update from this Atari-Owner... The "50 Shades of Yellow" Atari 1200XL Collection is now in more capable hands than mine, and my remaining 1200XL serials are as follows: 72R DA 05870 173 72R DA 06306 173 72R DA 20861 233 72R DA 21198 233 83S DA 009504 103 83S DA 020560 073 83S DA 020571 073 83S DA 022716 183 Thank you, in advance, Tim

... Hi, toddtmw, The file presently available for download from Atari-Owner is simply a "boxed" version of the individual ZIPs which came as part of the latest preservationist torrent release. When extracted, it generates a mirror to the torrent's contents as they were delivered to me upon release, because the integrity of the official archive is as important to me as it is to both everyone involved in providing this important collection and everyone provisioning its distribution through various downloadable methods. Hope that helps, —Tim

The Astra 2001 dual drive has been adopted. One of the Atari 800s has been adopted, and another 800 with original box and styrofoam, etc., is in the process of finalizing adoption. Be sure to check out the additional tabs of the spreadsheet for everything currently available for adoption. --Tim

My appreciation for two hardy Atari supporters exceeds my ability to put into words, but the "50 Shades of Yellow" 1200XL collection was adopted successfully. I'm now in the process of looking for new homes for the greater part of my Atari hardware collection (listed via Marketplace here). Thank you for asking! ^_^ --Tim

I switched torrent programs and it's working now. Thank you for verifying things there, Mclaneinc! --Tim

Nope, nothing happening here. You were right about manually pasting the magnet, but absolutely nothing more than BitTorrent attempting to find peers. Strange, since I've previously used the torrents to grab the file before hosting it for direct downloads at Atari-Owner. --Tim

The magnet isn't loading for me here, and using a Torrent search doesn't seem to turn up any results, either. Is anyone else getting a working torrent from the link? --Tim

Thank you for all of the interest! You have me looking forward to the process of rehoming these systems and accessories. Thank you! Please allow me to go through your posts and PMs. A couple of you I still need to respond to again, as well. If you haven't sent me your ZIP Code and are wanting to know shipping, I'll need that or you can use origin ZIP of 48872. If you are familiar with the average shipping weight of the system your interested in, you may already have enough information to run your own estimate with the origin ZIP in hand. I'll make my best effort to ship everything securely and protected and have always offered a refund of any overages paid on shipping. I only have access to USPS at the present time, sorry! I'll update if my situation changes. With appreciation, Tim

The shipping cost may be prohibitive, but I'll try to get a rough idea on what it will run. The switch, I think, is to silence the on-board speaker. --Tim

I live in Perry, Michigan, USA (48872) --Tim

Whether you're looking for a backup system to have on-hand, or looking to enter the A8 world, I may have what you are looking for. Due to financial circumstances, I am looking to rehome as much of the hardware as I can. I've tried to make certain to price well under current EBay trending without setting things at give-away price. Too many items to list, so I have made my inventory spreadsheet available, and included photos. Shipping (Origin ZIP: 48872) is additional, of course. PayPal is preferred, although checks will be fine if adopter is okay with waiting until payment clears. Available Atari 8-bit hardware (Google Docs) Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer. If you are looking for something that isn't listed, drop me a message because I might have it and just not listed it yet. Thank you, in advance! --Timothy Kline

Frank!!! How goes it, man!! lol I have no recollection on where I sourced those from, and I'm still slowly in the painful, tedious process of organizing the unsorted collection of files into their respective folders— which is bad enough. In fact, I didn't even load up the atrs before posting them; just did a file search to see if anything showed up and sure enough. . . Version 1, though. Hmm... I'll need to note that in the filenames for future reference. --Tim

I had these in my archived collection, if they will help at all? --Tim Diskkeeper.zip

Looks like it never arrived; was concerned that I'd missed it... although I did see that there are some PMs I didn't know about in there which I need to look at. --Tim
