Don't be afraid to price these fairly - you're doing all the work so you deserve a profit. I'm in for sure. That's one. Ouch, sorry about that machine. Hate to see any Atari not working but especially the higher end/rarer ones....

Wow. Was just browsing through Youtube this morning and found this. Check out what the girl is wearing in the first part of the video. Good STuff.

I remember that message thread on the plastic repair. Good stuff. This is all looking pretty good to me. I guess either way would be okay. Maybe hot glue gun the loose one or use the larger size.... Thanks.

Ugh, still trying to figure that out - not sure how to make Ztelnet on Kubuntu do that. Downloaded PuTTY for Windows but couldn't seem to get it to connect at all. Gonna have to break down and RTFM's, methinks.

Hey, that would be great. I don't do Facebook but keep me in mind and mark me down for one when you do finish it. Thanks!

Okay, just in the interest of experimentation (and if it ain't broke, I'm just not trying hard enough :), I set the disconnect mode to 80 and 81. DarkForce doesn't respond well to these settings. First off, the script I use to auto detect ANSI terminal callers doesn't work. Also, your login is now shown instead of being *'s. Further, once it gets to last screen after login, it acts like <return> is being hit 2-3 times in a row. Many screens won't let you input any keys, it just moves on. So....is there some other settings that are supposed to be changed when you use 80 or 81? Thanks all.

Hmm, okay - most of this stuff I think I went over "back in the day" when I first switched to telnet from dial up but I hadn't gone over it in a long time since there hadn't been any (apparent) problems. Thanks for all the info. I do have the Lantronix manual and PDF for reference. So if I change from telnet mode to raw mode, will it cause problems with the software that uses telnet? Is there a setting that allows both modes simultaneously? Thanks again.

Quick question - just a random thought really, are most of the callers attempting downloads and having problems using 8bits? Thanks.

Okay, I downloaded and glanced over that well-written instruction set. Thanks. One thing, at first glance it appears that the settings in that set are for using a UDS-10 to call > in < to a BBS. In my case, all my Lantronix UDS-10 settings are for > receiving < calls. I know that the settings I use on my UDS-10 with my STacy to call are different than the ones I use for the BBS. Or is it that those settings you gave are for both? Also, I have a router setup to pass telnet calls through to my UDS-10, so I have a permanent IP address. Don't think I can do dynamic with that, or am I missing something? Here are my current settings: [email protected]:~$ telnet 192.168.1.104 9999 Trying 192.168.1.104... Connected to 192.168.1.104.

Educate this 'ole SysOp a bit - what exactly is the difference between "raw" mode and "telnet" mode? Advantages/disadvantages? I'm sure I've read that in the Lantronix PDF but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Thanks! PS Using ztelnet, TAZ, ANSITerm, FDT, etc, I don't remember any settings for this, must be a default.

For many of the wonderful case designs, including the STacy and Mega STe, pay homage to: Ira Velinsky Another far sighted and talented individual who left this world far too soon! <respect!>

Thanks! Appreciate everyone's support. It's amazing though, how many times I get comments like, "never heard of you", "didn't know you were still around" and even "oh, forgot about you". Reminds me of work. I work at a small rural hospital and we use scripted talk and responses. For example, I'm always supposed to answer the department phone like this, "Cardiopulmonary, this is Ron, can I help you?". When entering a patients room, it's "Hello, I'm Ron from Cardiopulmonary and I'm here to do <fill in a procedure>". Even with that, when our organization does surveys, the majority claim to never have heard of me. LOL

Okay, been having some download problems at the DarkForce! BBS. Users have told me that it just doesn't work. I've had no problems myself, although this is local, with my Kubuntu Linux laptop, using Ztelnet. I'm wondering that since it's across the LAN, it's different than from the 'Net. Here are a couple of pics to show Ztelnet in action. As you can see, Ztelnet pops open a window and asks you where you want the file to go and keeps you notified about what's going on. This is zmodem, btw. Thanks all.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm going to take one last look through a couple of my "extra" parts boxes, in case I've got one stashed away and forgot about it.... Thanks again.

I love both the Mega ST (the DarkForce! BBS is powered by one of these) and the Mega STe's forms. I just think they are drop dead gorgeous.

Quite some time ago Rustymutt was kind enough to sell me a beat up Mega STe. The case was messed up but everything else was good. I finally got around to dragging out a non-working Mega STe that I had stored in my man-cave and combined the two. Yay, it works! Only issues I've encountered so far is that the "A" key doesn't work on the keyboard. I've got a spare Mega STe keyboard as well as a brand new Mega ST keyboard so I'll try those later. The other issue is that the power LED in the left side of the case is not working. The bracket is there (and rusty - seems like I've seen other posts about that issue) but there isn't any cable. Anyone have a spare, or pictures showing what it looks like and how it connects? Thanks.... /me happy.

For sale, still in shrink wrapped box, bought but never used, like new Atari Jaguar CD game, Battle Morph. Also includes the Atari Jaguar Memory Track cartridge, used, but in decent shape. https://www.ebay.com/itm/113991578423 Thanks.

Does the OSSC still require a 15khz monitor? Thanks.

Thanks!

Yep, but honestly, it's a very low reserve. I was pretty conservative about it.

I did do that. Not sure how much "recognition" it's getting but its there on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SD-Drive-Nuxx-for-Atari-8bit-Computers/113975686570?hash=item1a897af5aa:g:HSgAAOSwNNVd0uDo Thanks everyone. PS I did post this to the Market place first.
