    Which one?
  2. Mr Robot
    I agree... Which I guess makes my question somewhat odd. Well, I don't own a 400/800 or XE series Atari, it's easy for me to find pictures of them online but they vary in colour from almost XL beige to light brown depending on the light, age of the machine, skill of the photographer. That makes finding an accurate colour for art projects, 3d printing etc etc extremely hard not having a known accurate reference. On top of that, I'm colourblind, so it all looks the same to me unless I hold it next to something else and even then working out exactly why its not the same is near impossible for me. I rely heavily on computers to augment my colour perception. If I can get accurate colours; ones that non-colourblind people; experts in collecting and restoring these things, all agree is a very close/perfect match for the original colour, I can paint things those colours, scan and photograph them, feed that into a computer and get an accurate reference colour set.

    I asked this in the pinned restoring old cases thread but no one answered, I guess no one reads that any more. Does anyone have a good paint match for the Atari 800 colours? I found the right ones for XL/XE cases in the restoration thread but there is no mention of colours for the 400/800 series.

    Nice!

    No answer at all? Am I asking this in the wrong forum?

    My 3d printed ones are coming along nicely

    You can, it's pretty easy, but only a Dyesub can print white or metallic inks. I did think about buying a white/light grey keyboard, spraying it dark brown/black and then laser etching the designs onto the keys hoping that the paint would burn away, revealing the light plastic underneath. That would involve buying or making an engraver.

    It's pretty old tech, text is 'legible' down to 6pt, what that means is don't make any of your lines too thin, don't expect miracles. This stuff is very popular with the model train crowd.

    Alternatively how do I delete a club I created?
  10. Mr Robot
    Waterslide decals. You can paint the keyboard your desired shade of brown and put waterslides on them, then a satin clearcoat to protect the decals. To get white you need something like an Alps MD5000 Dyesub printer. There are people online who will custom print decals for you if you don't want to commit to buying your own Alps. I'm going to do this to my keyboard, once I've 3d printed a new case for it.

    This is the first I've heard of it, which it why I asked.

    Who? The XLD is literally designed to fit into a dead 1050 case, I haven't seen anyone say they will be offering alternative cases. The XEL is a different story, lots of choice, case wise there.

    It's just a VBXE, MIDI-XEL and a XEL-CFIII. My U1MB is a v1 so it's a black PCB not a Lotharek white one.

    I've always been a fan of Nyloc nuts and a drop of Loctite myself, saves a lot of fiddling about with spring washers. If I were to actually try and Rivet a PCB I'd shatter it for sure

    The oldest version of Quartus that works requires a minimum of Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)

    How do I change a club from Public to Open or Closed? I can't find the option anywhere. Turns out nobody joins a public club, so my club has one member, me. Of course it could just be that no one is interested in my club and I'm just Billy no-mates!

    I thought I'd take a shot at adding a couple of cart types not already included but I'm on a mac and I gave up before I even got all the tools installed. Haven't yet found the time to set up a PC to do it, Windows 10 doesn't make me want to try.
  23. Mr Robot
    It's open source, anyone could update or release new firmware. The 'latest' firmware was released fairly early on in the carts lifetime, XEX running was added and then there was a fix to that. It has been updated once since but I don't know if the change was even accepted. If you can run XEX files, you almost certainly have the latest firmware.
  24. Mr Robot
    Think of it as my donation for your latest release of the XEL/U1MB/SiDE firmware. Which case would you like? PM me your address.

    a PD Library xref is one of the many items on my to-do list.
