Sweet. Looks like I'm going to have to order one myself. Wonder how it will look on my Samsung 60"... David Milsop

I still have my Eastern Front 1941 map (about 18" x18"). Would you like me to send you a copy of it? DavidMil

Sorry... This is what I wanted you to post a picture of or a site to buy them. David

My turn to ask... Can you give us a picture and possibly a location that you may have (or not) dealt with? Thanks, David

Hold on. Myself and at least one other person is working on it. David Milsop

That is perfect! Thank you, David Milsop Kingwood, Texas

I have both the field manual and an original Sam's manual, but as you said neither contains info about the mylar. If worst comes to worst, I'll venture up to the attic. I have an old 800XL keyboard with some missing keys that I can tear down to get to the mylar. If I have to do that I'll post a picture here and on Atarimania. DavidMil

Anyone have a schematic of an 800XL keyboard Mylar? I don't care what type of keys, just the schematic under them. Thanks for any assistance, DavidMil

Not to worry, Every piece of info I get helps sold the puzzle. If you remember it, please post what you can. Thanks, David Milsop

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. Now it's a matter of sifting through it all to find some games for a young girl (and me too)! David Milsop

Can you post a picture of it? My memory... well it sucks. I can only remember seeing a couple that looked like Epsons. David

I used to own a business and whenever I needed a formal letter, I used my1027, I never had any misalignment problems, but God you were right about slow and noisy! It used to drive me crazy when it would pause for several minutes and then start back up. My wife wanted me to build a cabinet for it. For bills and other stuff I used my Epson RX80. DavidMil

As Arte Johnson would say, "Very interesting." Curious.. Had did you come by all that info? David Milsop

I've talked to seven rubber stamp/custom stamp making companies (across the country) and they all said the same thing; "You're going to have to have a injection mold made." So I'm still looking... David

Unfortunately he only had one. However here is a site that sells them. Mine is 4 foot long. I don't know how long these are.

If you leave the computer off for an hour or so, does it always do the same thing when you start it up? When the screen goes black, you can turn off the computer, pull all the RAM and ROM cards out and then feel them for any excessively hot chips. One thing you may want to do while you have all the RAM and ROM cards out: Clean the connector edges of all the cards with a good pencil eraser. Makes sure all the chips are seated properly (do this by pressing each chip down) then put all the cards back in (make sure the chips all face towards the back of the computer). You may want to shuffle the RAM cards around too. If that doesn't help, I hope you're comfortable with opening up the computer. DavidMil

I ordered a video cable for my 800 that has s-video out and left and right audio output. MAN, what a difference that made! I had to do some color and brightness adjustments on the Samsung flat panel TV, but you talk about a sharpness and brighter color difference. It's really amazing! I played several old games, including Defender and Montezuma Revenge, and there were colors I don't think I've ever noticed before! Best $12 investment I've made for my computer since I bought a 1050 drive. Sorry but I had to go online here and talk about it, DavidMil

That's a nice collection of games. Have you tried any of them in the drive? If you haven't yet. I would clean the drive head with alcohol before trying any of the disks. DavidMil

If the switch is not working why would the screen just go black and stay that way? Wouldn't it go back to static as if the door is open/off? I think there is something else going on here... DavidMil

That is really funny/amazing. It helps that I've played most of those games to really enjoy it. David

Interesting. Thank you all for the info, David Milsop Kingwood, Texas

I was wondering around on ebay and I saw something I've never heard of... Someone in Slovavia(?) is selling an Atari 800XE. It looks like a 130XE, but it clearly states 800XE on the top. What was inside this unit and when was it produced? David Milsop Kingwood, Texas

So from what I am understanding; because Atari subcontracted everything out it made up numbers on a per vendor basis? No wonder no two devices had anything in common when it came to serial numbers. David

If you can't, do not worry about it. I can work with what you gave me. Thanks so much, David Milsop Kingwood, Texas
