I sold Bobby a PC Engine bundle and he was an absolutely pleasure to do business with. Would recommend highly!

Very happy to hear it arrived safely and worked out for you!

Quarantine bump, prices lowered.

How much are you asking for sale instead of a trade?

I would assume so; I haven't plugged in the adapter in awhile but I don't recall any audio level issues — and I'm an audio snob so I think I would remember if I had to blast the volume. I think most 8-bit consoles are pretty noisy, but without hearing yours it would be hard to say! I'm happy to make a deal if you're looking for another ?

I definitely never had any issues like that, sound was normal level with the adapter.

It is available, but I'm not sure about the audio amp. It always sounded good to me; I can take a better pic of the board for you tomorrow if you'd like.

Friendly bump, 2 PC Engine bundles still available!

Is that factory sealed?

R.Cade purchased a PC Engine from me and was an absolute pleasure to work with; would do business with again.

Sold a laptop to abckid; paid promptly and was super great to deal with. Would do business again.

No worries at all! I actually have an 800XL I'm very happy with, I'm interested in the smaller size of the 600XL for my desk.

All set for now! My For Sale / Trade thread is here if you see anything you'd like, and I'm of course happy to discuss cash deals if not. Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous!

Good news! After much trial and error, I've ended up with a totally different, but completely functional way to get my Atari to be a dumb terminal for my Mac mini. I boot up a terminal emulator, and then use the 'screen' program to pass the shell to the Atari. This way I can take advantage of any UNIX programs I have on the Mac, which makes the Atari great for reading RSS feeds, etc. Currently using Flickerterm since Ice-T doesn't like running without an actual 850 attached, even if you load in the R: handler without it. #Run a terminal emulator on your Atari or other vintage hardware #Launch screen to open a serial connection between the shell host and the dumb terminal #Use whatever your serial device is after the screen command, then the baud rate you'd like to use #The serial device name can be found via cd /dev/ && ls tty.* screen tty.usbserial-XXX 19200 #Once screen is launched, you can verify connectivity between the modern machine and the Atari by typing on either. #Press Control+A then Control+: and paste the line below to mirror a shell to the Atari (or anything else!) make sure your baud setting matches after the std.XXX portion exec ::: /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 #text input will be ddoouubblleedd on the host terminal output, but everything works normally on the Atari #Obviously an 80 column terminal emulator is better for this Obviously my iPhone camera doesn't like Flickerterm, the missing text is indeed present on the CRT, and surprisingly, completely readable on my LCD with the Retrotink2X! I just set it for "component" mode so the composite signal is black and white, otherwise the NTSC artifacts are a nightmare. I figured this all out from and https://www.weinstein.org/blog/index.php/2007/06/apple-hacking-for-fun-and-profit.html

It's Sio2OSX emulating an 850 on an older Mac running 10.7 (seems to be the latest version that will work reliably with the software). I've tried at a number of different speeds, I don't actually use 19.2 I just happened to take the picture at that point in the testing, I usually use 1200 for BBSing. The connect and garbled text situation seems to happen regardless of baud. I'm currently giving this a shot in a VM, and then might get a Pi if I can get it running, this seems like a perfect solution: https://github.com/pjones1063/Atari-usbModem

Thansk! Sorry I missed this reply, to be specific, the TV is a Panasonic TRG-513T.

I've enabled plain old telnet on the Linux box and verified that it appears to be working from a modern machine, so I don't think it's the former, but it is probably it the latter... I'm not at all sure it's actually capable of working with ASCII from the Atari terminal emulators. And thanks! It's a Panasonic portable TV/Radio I'm rather fond of; I have it running over RF in tandem with the composite out to a Retrotink2X to my LCD (which works great for 80 column Ice-T). http://www.wheredidiputthatremote.com/ebay/panasonic-1454270771-23941.jpg Not exactly this one, but a very similar model. Appreciate the help!

Hi all, I've got a telnet related question, though not strictly BBS related so I hope this is an alright place to post it. I can BBS very reliably with my A8 and now I'm trying to telnet into a small Linux box I set up. I got telnetd running on it, and I can connect to it from another machine no problem, but when I try and connect from the Atari (using Bobterm or Ice-T), I get a successful connection, but it spits out some weird characters and just sits there and won't take any input. I've attached an image. I'm sure there's something I'm missing, and I may not be able to do it at all, but does anyone have any advice?

Looks really nice, I bookmarked your page for when my Griffin iMates finally kick the bucket.

Would you sell just the console and PSU? Which is to say I'm quite interested in buying it!
