Mr Robot

Because if I have the PCB I can check that it fits, if I have an original case I can only check that it looks the same. I've done this a few times, look at the SIO2PC cases I did, I had to make a few design changes because not every board fitted the original design due to tolerance issues with aftermarket SIO sockets, I could have never done that just looking at a case that is supposed to fit.

I have the STL's for a 1200 extender PCB which is almost the same thing but longer. If someone wants to send me the PCB you want to fit in it, it should be pretty trivial to cut down to size. I'd of course send you back the PCB when it's done and stick the STL's online. I'm in the process of *slowly* putting all my 3d stuff on line for anyone to print but lack of time in my real life is not progressing these things at any pace. I'm moving off thingyverse and on to https://www.printables.com because its actually a good platform that feels fit for purpose. My models will also be on my website for forever too.

I only said this because I know how Candle feels about open Source projects, and I was trolling. I didn't realise I was going to totally derail the thread with four words!

Just open source everything.

I didn’t take any offence I was just tres’ amused and offered up an example of just how far off the mark you were. It was meant light heartedly, I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear.

🤣 @mytek has limited experience in electronics in much the same way that Pacino is just starting out as an actor.

Available in atari8bit.net/dl as well.

It has now, I was a little behind the times! ...and it's now in https://atari8bit.net/dl/

You can always get the files from https://atari8bit.net/a8sp/ but the error you are seeing is not the zip file, it's the unzip tool not knowing how to deal with the unicode characters used in the file names. There is no way to store the character encoding info in a zip file and tools like unzip are old, only support ISO character encodings, usually only a single encoding per archive, and and they struggle with unicode characters. The files will still unzip correctly but the names will be a bit messed up. Modern decompressors will ask for the encoding if they don't recognize it but afaik its a limitation of the format.

I've added a column, it's just a simple Y/N. Space is becoming a bit tight on the line.

Try Keka, https://www.keka.io/en/ It's more frequently updated, has extra functionality and crashes on me less than the unarchiver does. You can pay for it if you like but theres a free download that is the same as the paid version. Edit: Cute icon too!

I can put the column in but so far no one has given me any information about their server, I've just sourced the info from wherever I can find it, the column would be empty.

I've added a Platforms column and put your url as a link off the server address. Thanks for the suggestions.

I probably shouldn't be giving you ideas but there's this... tZCbS0T.mp4 https://hackaday.com/2016/02/28/floppy-drive-hides-sd-card-reader/

It was a good fun meeting. It was cool to watch as we all learned how the cart worked together. If I had any feedback it would be to have pre-prepared the files you were going to need to show/test the things you wanted to show/test. I would have started the meeting with both a folder on my pc and an sd card full of the files required for the meeting and a blank SD card that I would have partitioned and created an Atari hdd/set up sdx during the meeting. Also apologies for the bad avf file, the only machine I have that will play it is a 1088xel with a vbxe in it going to a rgb->vga converter. I don't know what bit of hardware in that chain is required to make it work, but it does play ok there. I've removed it from my Atari file share.

While I really agree with this sentiment (I have a vbxe, I want more 80 col supported apps). Isn't the 80-col support for xep80 much better than vbxe? I don't see patched versions of xep80 compatible titles made to work with vbxe available.

There's a Kryoflux case in 1050 style https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3287420

Looks OK now. I'm sure there are some old phones it still breaks on but it fits on all the ones I tried.

Yeah I haven't bothered to make the list responsive yet, use a real computer until I do.

I spent a bit of time this week updating the Fujinet server status page for my tnfs server and that included upgrading the public server list a bit. As well as up/dn status there is now a space for how long a server has been down as well as the ability to link the address to a web/status page, list the pager operator (with a link to some means of contact) and a place to describe the typical content of the server. If you own a fujinet tnfs server and want to correct/fill that info in for me, please let me know.

There's this on the previous page... My original NUC+ design was sized for these... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M28WNQX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm not sure if @Fierodoug5 changed the holes for his inserts or not.

There are some titles that won't work with more than 48k or more than 64k (I vaguely remember one that needed 16k and no more too) and some that need extended memory of a specific type (compy/rambo) but I don't think I've ever seen a title that needs extended ram but won't work if you have too much of it. Once you get beyond 128K you are mostly talking home-brew/scene, or cart/disk to xex conversions and they all seem to be happy with any amount of ram as long as you meet the base requirement.

There's this one...

Mytek just let me know about the new case for this, great job everyone!

If you are serious, the best way I found to do this is almost as you describe, except that you start with _everything_ in the trash pile. Then over the next 12 months you go about your life and every time you want something of your collection, you go and get it. At the end of the year, anything you didn't need can be sold off.
