    These work fine on XL's and XE's and Incognito 800's :)

    Just can't use a printer on Joy Ports 3 - 4...

     

    Learn something every day. Thought it was not compatible with XE/XL because it would load to a blue screen.

     

    All it needed was a good isopropyl cleaning on the end. Booted right up on my 130XE.

     

    I can now confidently say this cartridge does in fact work. I poked around a little bit to see functionality. That's about all I could do...

    So stoked. Haven't been online via an Atari in over 30 years...

     

    Atari 130XE running Ice-T 2.67 via SIO2PC (Respeqt) => Atari 850 => CX-87 Modem Cable => wimodem232 => WiFi router

     

    Took very little time setting up the wimodem232 with my WiFi router and was working within minutes. The OLED screen is absolutely amazing and wireless connection...

     

    heck yea!!!!!!

    If this had a clean label, I'd say it's worth $100 to $150 ( It's what I've paid for these in the past ).

    But with the writing on it, $75+ ,,,

     

    I aced my Tech license 2 years ago :) Haven't used morse code in years though...

    That writing is from the manufacturer. Every kantronics cartridge I've seen online has it. Appears to be manufacturer date and some other details about it.

     

    Oops: yes not the handwritten ph#...

    Guys

     

    I have had a few private messages from members interested in this cartridge.

     

    I am not able to test it out currently because it is only 400/800 compatible and translator disk does not work with cartridges. I only own XE/XL 8-bits, but I will be receiving a 400 from a lot in a couple days and should be able to test the functionality of the cartridge then.

     

    I will not consider offering this cartridge to anyone until I am confident that it is in working order.

    Connected the WiModem232 to my 800XL using a P: R: Connection, prconn.hnd, and ICE-T Using the 9pin to 25 pin cable that came with the P: R: it communicated with the WiModem232 right away, using a standard 9-25 cable I have didn't work. There must be something I've forgotten about the P: R: cable having unique wiring or something.

     

    So glad to hear you got this working and so simple.Appreciate that you notified me it was available and that I actually ordered it. Just patiently waiting now.

     

    I'll be using my 850 interface (ATARI850.HND) and Ice-T.

     

    I have a CX-87 DB9 to DB25 cable on the way and already own a CX-88 (null modem) DB9 to DB25 cable, so I should be OK with the connections as well.

    2600 => TI-99/4a (still own) => 800XL (still own) => most recently 2600 (several of them), 5200 (selling on ebay now), 7800, 400 (sold), 600XL, 65XE, 130XE, XEGS

     

    Several PC's along the way self built and/or freebies/bought

     

    Never ventured past the 130XE yet...

    It's a new product by Jim Drew. I haven't yet hooked it to the A8 yet but I'll be using the PR when I do, and I'm not expecting any issues.

     

    Have used it on the TI99, C64, and Amiga so far. Great stuff! :D

    Well... here goes nothing. ORDERED!

     

    Having issues with Lantronix set-up - been working on it all night. Not to mentioning I'm getting the highest pitch sound from my monitor every time I load Ice-T.

    I would be too. Mistake or not a sale should be honored regardless.

     

    I lost quite a bit on a couple 130XE/65XE auctions I listed last year, but I honored the winning bids, because as ebay states, the seller is responsible for all information in the listings. Too bad they do not practice this and force sellers to honor those prices. It's all good. I've also won several auctions because of this and the winning bids were honored, so it pretty much evens itself out for me.

    I was going to recommend something like the Lantronix MSS-100 because it supports DNS and you wouldn't have to look up IP addresses to type in, but the UDS-10 is fine too. However from what I understand, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, you need the Atari CX-87 modem cable for the UDS-10, not the CX-88 null modem cable. However you can use a null modem adapter to convert it if I'm not mistaken.

    So, I read mixed responses in my search results. Seems like CX-87 needs a null modem adapter, but the CX-88 is already twisted (NULL) so no need for the adapter.

     

    If any one has more details on this, please let me know. I am waiting on the UDS, but received the cable already (CX-88).

     

    Well, I just read this:

     

    Also, remember: UDS-10 uses a CX87 cable, and the MSS uses a CX88 and a gender changer. The difference is that the MSS requires a Null MoDem cable.

     

     

    Argh. So with the 8-bit, I need one of the following?? :(

     

    8-bit >> 850 >> CX-87 >> UDS-10

     

    OR

     

    8-bit >> 850 >> CX-88 >> null modem adapter >> UDS-10

     

    EDIT: Found this in my parts bins from an ODBC-II car project I did years ago!! So, now just need confirmation if I need the adapter or not. Whew...

    Thanks!

    Have had my hands on at least 10 600XL's, 800XL's and even more 65XE's and 130XE's in the past 2 years and have yet to find one that needed any caps replaced. Guess it depends on personal choice, but I wouldn't bother with the tedious job unless they actually test bad.

    Not an expert on this, but was planning to purchase the Lantronix UDS-10 to mate up with my 850 and get my 8-bits online. I saw these and was curious if they would achieve the same "modem mode" that the Lantronix provides...

     

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ebyte-E44-DTU-1W-SX1276-915MHz-LoRa-RS232-RS485-Wireless-radio-modem-transmitter/192161708809

     

    There are several different versions of the same item with same specs, but none reference "modem mode". Thoughts?
