there is a beta firmware that has some preliminary support for sio mod (atr, atx, cas), so if you got the mod done, just let me know (and don't forget to share a photo!)

i don't mind people doing the mod this way, the only issue is that marauder was seeing a behavior for which the easiest explanation would be noise being picked up due to those wires being run over the pcb (ok, yours are routed a bit differently but still) i don't know if that's plausible, i still hope i'll find a better explanation but you have been warned

apparently the narrower one fits 1200xl (thanks to rEVERz for testing and the photo)

that should work but only via sio mod (otherwise translator would kill the patched os needed for standard atr emulation)

the only issue is that it usually costs more than the actual product which is not that great

i don't think it's here, probably stuck somewhere else, maybe austria (i think majority of airmail from here goes through there), unfortunately there's never a tracking info after it leaves slovakia and before it's scanned in the destination country (and i've also seen royal mail not scanning stuff at all a few times, basically downgrading it to unregistered and untracked although they always delivered so far)

just fyi, i'm currently unable to ship to usa and canada (and some other countries, mostly overseas, allowed countries are here) since our postal service stopped (again) accepting mail to these destinations (due to insufficient transport capacities being available since most flights are down due to pandemic) you can still pm me and i'll put you on the list but that's maximum i can do these days

(very beta + sio diy mod needed)

the basic functionality is there (r/w atr support, cas support), waiting for people to build their cables

if you prefer not to hack the original shell, you can print your own https://avgcart.tmp.sk/files/atari/avgcart_3d_printed_shell.zip (the one with the large cutout is slightly narrower but i doubt it'd fit 1200xl, if anyone has 1200xl and 3d printer, just print either top or bottom, try and let me know)

yes, that should be fine (if the length suits your needs)

(just to prevent any confusion, this is not a stock avgcart, it has sio cable added which is a diy mod)

that is planned in some way, technically you can select atr using tab and then run car even now (needs a tweak to actually work, currently it will ignore one of those files) this is not planned, get fujinet ;-)

although those files are not turbo (no pwm chunks), some of them contain fsk chunks which i still need to implement so they should be useful for testing, thanks
