I actually purchased both. All kinds of people were telling me to use the "null" modem cable aka the Terminal Cable. I didn't understand why that would be needed so I bought the Modem cable also. I'll try again with the Modem cable.
I initially was attempting to use a Lantronix UDS-10 and also got mixed research results and responses. So I also have both cables. In the end the CX-87 is what I needed, especially when I went to the wimodem232.

For reference, this is my set-up currently:
130XE => 1050 (1) => 1050 (2) => 850 => SIO2PC => PC||

Also, I am not using custom cabling, I purchased the actual Terminal cable from atari.
The "terminal" cable is a NULL modem cable. You need the "modem" cable.
Did you purchase the CX-87 or CX-88 or both?? The CX-87 "modem" cable is was is needed.
If you purchased the CX-88, you might get away with using another NULL modem adapter inline to reverse it, but no guarantees that will work.

I don't know if it's the video, or if it's just me, but that audio sounds a little slow.
Cool setup either way!
Haven't thoroughly checked, but the phonograph has a fine-tune speed adjuster. It might need "tuned". I replaced the belt on it and just left it as it was.

I have the 850 ==> CX-87 modem cable ==> wimodem232
Using the latest version of Ice-T, I have to load the ATARI850.HND handler first, then load Ice-T.
It works perfectly.
NOTE: On first set-up you have to set the baud rate to the wimodem default rate of 300. After the wimodem232 is set-up and can be detected by the terminal program, then you can go up to 9600 baud. -
Not sure if the 512k board overrides onboard RAM, but I purchased one of these... (works on all XL/XE 8-bit)

Guys
I do not own one of these, but I gave it a shot translating the manual the best I could (Google translation) and formatted to look like the German manual. I did NOT provide ANY screenshots because, as stated, I do not own one of these. So if someone wants to use this as a template and add screenshots with English translations, that would be great.
Let me know if this would work for you and you guys can take it from here! I will need to email the original *.docx to you though since this is a *.pdf version attached.
I agree.
I hope one of our German friends translates it in English.Damn, that is really a good manual. It was certainly a lot of work...
Thank you for the link.
StefanThat does look nice, maybe an english version will come soon.
I found a version in German: http://sio2sd.gucio.pl/wiki/KeyboardDoc_de?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Anleitung_35.pdf
if you don’t speak German, I believe this translates better through Google than the Polish version.
Did anyone ever finish translating the manual?

Thanks for the obsession and interest as usual, just so everyone knows, I been a top seller on and off ebay, despite I messed up and even took full responsibility fixing all the wrongs to right, one or two like to ridicule me here, and I will say this I took care of all my errors and owned up to it.
That gives me more credibility than most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous. You've been on eBay since 2006 and have only 202 feedback. Within that feedback, you have a few negative and neutral responses. I find it interested that they complain about your attitude and inappropriate responses exactly the same as the members here do. You are a real piece of work. Go peddle your sh!t somewhere else...
Fast refund, Says cant supply item, but but has it re-listed for $10 more bewareBeware Free ship=wrapping paper=damage.Rude&defensive.Called me names in emails.BEWARE! Sent me INAPPROPRIATE emails after refunding $ for item ebay cancelled!What I don't get is I've been a member on eBay since 2000 and I have not even received a NEUTRAL response, but you consider yourself a top seller? Move on...

Trying to understand opening phrase.
IN SPACE NOONE CAN HERE THEY... SCREAM!
Should it say
IN SPACE NOONE CAN HERE THEM... SCREAM! ??
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding.
Game play looks insane!

BTW, what's the music in the video? It's pretty cool!

I was looking to buy this directly from you but it looks like I'll have to bid on it (and you will have to pay ebay fees)

My bad...
...force of habit. Past few items I posted for sale on here did not get any interest even though asking prices were well below what they normally go for, so I automatically list on ebay now due to that and eat the cost.
-
WOW! I had something very similar to that when i was a kid from Children's Palace. Only it was actually enclosed in a cardboard case, not the plastic.
Was able to talk to "truckers" on their CB's lol. Illegal from what I recalled, but I had fun at the time...

Yellow keyboard edition?! Nice!

What did the XEGS cost you if you don't mind me asking? I'm playing with the idea of buying one myself.
If you are still interested, I listed the XEGS on ebay...
-
Cleaned up, tested and ready to go.
Does not come with any manuals and the joystick is a standard black instead of the XE version. More details in the action listing.
Starting bid is $0.99 with free shipping!SOLD!https://www.ebay.com/itm/332602970092

It was part of the entire lot pictured. After I clean it and test functionality I might be selling it.
I'm just overwhelmed right now with all that was included. So far I cleaned and tested the 2600, 800XL and 400. They all work.
2600 board had to be flushed with electronic cleaner and case washed.
800XL worked first try and still needs a good case scrub.
400 speaker was detached and bouncing around and the lid would not close due to metal shield in wrong location.

I received these in a lot today and I do not own an ST. Mainly an 8-bit collector. Would anyone be interested in these and is there any value to them?
I have no need for them, but thought someone on here might be interested. Two of them are stamped in red ink DEMO. I assume it means they are not full games and not pre-release promotional DEMO's, but not familiar with ST software. I also have no way to test them to see if they work.
Thanks!

Ignore the other random stuff and large box (car parts)

WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO ?!?!
Took 14 days to get here due to our wonderful USPS "delay" in shipping, but here is my recent purchase. I have a couple busy days ahead of me...
ATARI XEGS - CIB (except black contoller instead of beige)
Two Magnavox Odyssey 2's - Appear to be CIB
Several Odyssey games - CIB
Atari 2600 4 switch
Atari 400 and 410 w/power supplies
Atari 800XL
EMPTY Atari Video Pinball
boxOver 240+ 2600 cartridges (several dups) in USPS boxes in pics
A couple Atari 2600 cartridges - CIB
Several 8-bit cartridges, cassettes, manuals, books, etc
One TI-99 cartridge
Several Atari controllers and paddles
and one beat to HELL Atari 5200
(probably missing something, but you get the idea) On with the pics...
CRAZY motherload of fun. Almost everything needs some TLC, but going to be working on this for quite some time.

Yes. It will for in any standard cartridge case. I modified the Krazy case slightly. My goal is to use an Atari case. It for, just haven't done it yet. Biggest issue is the SD card access.
-
A joystick port based modem like MPP or a PBI serial via ICD MIO or CSS Black Box won't make the sound.
OK, makes sense.
Last time I was online with a 8-bit was back when I was in my teens using my 800XL and MPP 1000E Modem (joystick port) and did not recall that noise.
-
So, finally got my 8-bits online after 30+ years.
8-bit => 850 => CX-87 => wimodem232 v2 => WiFi
I am running Ice-T and every version I test emits an annoying continuous high pitched sound. The pitch changes if I change the Baud rates. Slower baud, lower pitch. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to get rid of that other than [MUTE]?
-
So, I wondered about the phone number that is handwritten on the cartridge? I just googled it:
