Since this repair thread is here figure I would put this out there, broke some pins on the SIO connector and wondering what is the best recommendation for repair, or if there is anyone willing to make this repair? Looks like these connectors might have been krimped onto the columns?

Got a Fujinet 1.3. Love it. Was trying it out on a computer or two testing results, tried to be careful with the SIO port, but two pins broke loose. The break happened where the connector meets the column Just asking to find the best recommended fix for this? Solder the pins back together, or completely replace the column and connector? And maybe anyone who does repairs? I live around the Dallas, TX area. Looking for options. Thanks!

Sadly looks like all USA vendors are out of stock. Was looking to pick up one. Have one, loved it, but broke some pins on the SIO. So looking to fix that, but also pick up another.

I would vote for Game Over or the R.I.P. ones.

I know I don't.

Yep. On Joust for the Jaguar you can select 2600, 7800, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST (original sounds), Lynx, and arcade. Also you can play with an electric guitar of greensleeves playing in the background.

Of those, Joust is nearly a daily play over here and a personal favorite. (Thanks x1000 CJ). Making the sounds for this was a blast. Still proud of making a Pterodactyl kill on the Lynx for the sound sampling. Atari ST graphics + Lynx sound effects... You get the best Atari Joust on all the Atari consoles with the Jaguar! And played Midnight Resistance all the way through, mostly as a playtest, but I sincerely liked that game. Tried the other two and they were good, just not extensively played.

Predated by twenty years? Interesting. So just wanted to see the big chin hero take the fall? I think the thing I liked about Hal was first off, Batman's ability to use fear had no effect on Hal, as Hal had no fear. He was bold, with the ring was quite a power house in the DC univese. And yet had a bit of a humor to him. A lot of fun. My favorite GL panel to date:

They have a Z-Interpreter for Portfolio?

This is so cool. Hal Jordan was one of my early names on the Atari BBSs and for about a week or so I ran a BBS called "OA" based on the Green Lantern Corp. Aw good memories. In short, I loved Green Lantern. Hal going to Parallax to me was kinda stupid. I looked up to Hal, and I had no problem with him being strong and capable. I remember DC before turning him into Parallax put Hal through "becoming a man". I remember an issue where Hal found himself in the arctic and his ring ran out of power. The whole issue was him surviving and continuing on with his greatest power, his power of will. To me between that and other instances I thought Hal was man enough. He had nothing else to prove. But DC can be brutal to their characters at times for a good story. Truthfully it was when DC stopped having their characters as someone to draw hope and inspiration from to ... just everyone else, I lost interest. I enjoyed when Hal was restored and became a Green Lantern again. A lot of fun. Collected that for about 6 issues and then went on to other stuff. I think the 52 event happened and I got bored again. But thanks for reminding me of one of my heroes I liked as a teen!

So anyone add a Bubsy score on the e2p file? Would be cool to have other real player's scores on the high score file on my Game Drive!

Thought I would share two more e2p files. Atari Karts allows you to select the first three tracks. Attack of the Mutant Penguins allows you to select the first 16 levels. Just some game saves I've created lately by playing these games. I also had a Joust one, but unless you wanted a 180k score to beat, might not do you any good. Enjoy! Atari Karts.e2p Attack Of The Mutant Penguins.e2p

Oh well, eventually it straightened up. Seems AoMP only saves up to 16 levels out of 20 so the last four levels you really need to know your stuff. Well, ok, you need to know level 17 and 20, the rest are not so crazy. If you want the ability to select the first 16 levels, here is my .e2p file which has that set up. Attack Of The Mutant Penguins.e2p

I'm starting to think not many play Attack of the Mutant Penguins.

Hey all, been playing Attack of the Mutant Penguins lately, and the highest saved level is 11. That is to say, the highest level I can select is 11 from the start even though I've solved up to 15. Any idea why the level is not being saved?

Oh it is on!!!

Sent a PM, keep me posted!

Something to think about: Fuel System of the B-17F https://airpages.ru/eng/mn/b17_17.shtml

I love these pictures. I think most of the time the Atari8 bit users are all hunched over their computer, and the ST users are standing by their setup or just have a picture of the ST. Ok, a generalization but kinda funny. Like Atari8 bit users are all like "Hey I'm computing here!" and ST users are like "HEYY.. check out this slick computer I have!" Anyway, so here I am, ahead of my time, standing next to my computer as if to say "HEYY... check out this slick computer I have". Atari 400 with a 1200/1400 keyboard from Radio Shack (it was a kit they sold) and 48K of memory. And I have a Percom drive! Here is my earliest picture, me and my sister. I sold 17 newspaper subscriptions for the Atari 2600 and my sister sold another four for the Pac-Man game! She was so cute there! I later sold the 2600 to get my Atari 400. And how about a few other ones. My picture in the Dallas Morning News in 2000 where I got an Atari Jaguar WITH BATTLESPHERE featured on the FRONT PAGE of the newspaper... A year or so later, got the Nuon -Samsung 2000! 2004... using an Atari Jaguar as a CD+G player for a Christmas karaoke at work! And there I am with the "HEYY... check out this slick game system I have" pose. 2013 And 2023 It's ironic, back in the day I had an Atari 400 with a touch type keyboard. Now here I am, with an Atari 800 with a membrane keyboard. (what can I say, got nostalgic) Also found this cool TACO shirt (shown above right) for the Texas Atari Computer Owners meeting. GO ATARI!

Well, I was going to say that none of the girls at the computer user groups looked like this, but (sigh) I do remember when I did meet an attractive girl at a BBS party. Maybe about this attractive, but it was colder out so she had more on.

You know, at the end of the day, I think the reason there are not as many 130 xe users is due to bulk of release and sales. Beige line (400/800) had the earliest run, and as the XL came out, others (like me) found themselves buying the beige line. Either discounts at a store (like me) or buying from other people upgrading to the XL. The XL came out, and same cycle. Eventually the XE (or STs) came out, people sold off their XL computer and upgraded. A lot of my friends who jumped ship to the ST kinda regretted it the early STs might have had 128k or 256k but it was laughable in the 16k world. Never the less, the XLs became available. Then the XE and XEGS came out in the later days. Kinda a cool swan song for the Atari 8-bits. Those that got them were wrapping up with them, or that became their "apex" Atari 8-bit, so fewer were re-sold. And was not sold as long or in the market as the previous revisions. And so the XE users became slightly more rare than the number of users for the beige or XL lines. Booyah! (drops mic)

Hmmm... how soon are they announcing the JagFest for next year?

Answered this in 2016 and my views are still exactly the same.

The U1MB should in a lot of ways be what the Incogneto is. But of the XE and XE OS they have listed, they all have basic as a default. (I try to load like the IRC chat under XL/XE 320k and it either comes up in basic, memory test, etc.) Thanks for the answers to my questions all!
