  1. Finally got around to testing a 520 I had.. Keyboard only half worked and the LED didn't light.

     

    Took it apart to find a support post pierced the pcb, and some other spot knocked a hole in it..

     

    it's been recommended to repair it, but I'd rather just replace it..

     

    Here's some pics, what do you all say..

     

    Anybody have just a compatible keyboard for sale?

  2. So I am trying to bring a 520STm back to life and want to use a Gotek as a external drive..

     

    I have seen on Amibay a guy called a.mi.goun selling the cables I think I need.

     

    Problem is you can't register on there at all right now.

     

    Any idea on how to make my own? I've looked and have seen some confusing info.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    I went for it and...

     

    ...it worked! I definitely like that all the wires are tightly soldered in one location.

    Now to work on getting a case.

    Hey i like that pcb! Where did you find that one?

     

    i don't think mine has those holes in the pcb already.. I can see the plus to having it this way..

     

    I also have to add, how did you get it to play just pac-man? I wasn't aware this could do binaries?

    Excellent, glad to hear you got it working. Still interesting to know if it's a just enough out of spec edge case considering it works on machines other than the XEL.

     

     

    I'm gearing up to make some SDrive-MAXs for friends. Experimenting with some print settings and some filament that is annoying me for some reason, will probably make the 'somewhat less than perfect' cases available for free to fellow AAers when I'm done :)

    I also would love to purchase two of these! Lemme know the details if your open to selling 2 of these.. color doesn't matter as I'm gonna paint them like a XL and XE..

     

    Not yet ready to buy a printer, but I want one really. bad.

    Just to put a bow on this side issue, in case someone has a similar problem in the future and runs into a similar issue, at Michael St. Pierre's suggestion, I substituted a small 1N5819 Schottky diode for the suggested 1N4818 and voila, problem solved! My SDrive-MAX works now with my 1088XEL and allows use of other SIO drives at the same time. Whew!

    Just for the sake of having both options I just ordered some 1N5819's. For the price might as well.

  6. So it looks like only 4 wires are involved if your not using the +5 volts. Doesn't seem so bad.

     

    Now I need a case printed.. if I only had a printed. That's a rabbit hole I choose to not run down into yet..

     

    Any one with a printer care to make a cpl bucks?

  7. i have made NES, Super NES, and Genesis carts before, but what was involved with 5200 games?

     

    Are all Atari PCBs the same, or do they differ in chip size?

     

    Also what chips/eeproms are used?

     

    Thanks for the direction/help!
