Is this the board in it's final form or were there corrections made before the boards were made for sale?
-
I finally got the board completely populated and it doesn't boot. I can't find any missing solder joints or solder bridges. It doesn't bother me so much that I spent the money for the board but I really hate that I expended the time and effort for nothing and I don't have the equipment nor the expertise to do a thorough job of trouble shooting.

I used four different sources of the program with the same results and the program works on a different computer.

My personal goto computer, a 130XE with Scott Peterson's RAM upgrade, UAV, and dual OS with standard XL/XE and Omniview XL/XE, has produced some strange keyboard behavior in one and only one configuration. I have been using a version of Atariwriter Plus that is modified to give an 80 column screen when it is paired with Omniview 80. It has suddenly started outputting screen characters that are different from those that are typed. All other applications are working perfectly. I have changed Omniview chips and the problem persists. The problem does not occur with any other program. I tried the 80 column version of speedscript and it was OK, the 40 column version of Atariwriter Plus was OK even when Omniview was the OS. All of the main chips are unsocketed so it in going to be difficult to troubleshoot by replacing chips. Which chip is the most likely culprit. I would suspect the POKEY but I don't know. I have another 130XE with no mods except the dual OS, and the 80 column version of Atariwriter Plus works correctly.

I have a new number to add to the list, 72R09285 recently purchased on eBay

An Atari 1200XL "non-working". It wasn't working because one of the OS chips was bad. Trouble shooting took about 10 minutes which included taking the cover off.

The RNs that I have are the wrong strength anyway. They are 4.7K and are SIP that are for the 551 disk drive PCB.
-
I have the RN resistors, they only have 7 pins. I guess I will have to examine a standard PCB to find out which holes are extra.
-
I bought one of the boards and I am in the process of populating it and I have a couple of questions. There are too many holes for the RNs, do the RNs fit toward the front of the board or to the rear and what goes in the other holes. Also, is R900 a 100 Ohm resistor?
-
I just remembered that I bought two of them when they were offered and only used 1. I have one complete kit that I am willing to sell. It cost me $48 so I would sell it for that plus shipping. I don't have any of the paperwork and I don't know how you could find installation instructions.

I don't think so; the creator, Dropcheck, is retired.

This must be a website issue because it happens with my Kindle and with my desktop computer.

There is no other activity.

This only happens with My Activity "Content I have posted in".

When I log in to my page, the compute loads "Content I have posted in"; when I scroll to the bottom of the page there is a link that says "load more activity" when I click on the link everything on my screen turns gray and when I click to refresh the screen I get a message "sorry, unable to load more activity".

I am unable to load more activity. It won't load on my tablet nor my desktop.

I had a phone charger battery pack and tried it out and it worked. It outputs 5V 2.1 Amps. It was sufficiently strong enough to run the computer and an S drive. I am convinced that many of you on this forum could find a way to fit the battery pack inside the case of an 800XL maybe even a 600XL.
-
I have made a bunch of those also. I have made one for every computer that I have resold recently. Have you tried it out with a battery pack.
-
Would it be possible to power an Atari XL/XE with one of the 5V portable phone chargers?
-
I have messaged him twice and I haven't received a reply. I also emailed Vintage Computer Center and received no reply. It seems that everybody is out of everything and they don't want to talk to customers.

A 600XL advertised as NEVER USED. It matches this description but it wasn't working, and I had to replace the PIA. I plan to upgrade the memory to 64K and upgrade the video with the SuperVideo 2.1 mod.
-
No, I am talking about AtariWriter Plus 80. That is a version of AW+ that was modified to run under the Omniview 80 operating system. The computer must have at least 128K RAM that is FULLY 130XE compatible, and it must have the Omniview 80 Operating System.

Are you saying that a 1200XL with Omniview 80 can run Atariwriter Plus with 64K of RAM?

I have a black screen, no indication that there is a video signal. I tried to boot with Star Raiders and got nothing. Sys check doesn't give a video. I am going to check what I can using a multimeter and the guide from Sam's computer facts. I won't obsess over it because there just so many components that could be at fault. I know that it isn't any of the ICs because I checked each of them in another computer.
