Do you have any projected cost?

It's been a while since I've fired up the demo. It seems to be pretty bullet-proof. Were there ever any bugs reported for it in all these years? One thing I noticed, which I know isn't a bug, is when the menus are used for an extended period of time -- with a Profiler (or Profilers) open -- the Monitor data seems to be cached in the background, and subsequently updated once the menus are exited and screen updates resume. However, I don't see this same behavior when holding down a scrollbar or dragging a window for an extended period of time; but rather the screen updates on the Monitor would just continue as if nothing (except a moment of high CPU usage) had occurred. No big deal, but it gets me wondering; was halting all screen updates the end point for such actions, or was there some outlook for getting screen updates active? I can't remember what might have already been discussed, since it's been so long.

Maybe the Black Box would be more accommodating if it lived in a full enclosure that connected to the PBI/ECI using a cable -- similar to an ATR8000 or MIO. I think a lot of people used ATR8000's as monitor stands in their setups; I'm not sure if MIO's were used similarly.

I'll add to this that there should be a sound when the enemies are hit too.

Wait, aren't you both from the Netherlands? And of course you both own Black Boxes. Hmmm...

To be honest, I didn't really think you would be selling either; but who knows. I was thinking maybe you decided that you weren't using it enough to justify holding onto it, and better to let someone else have it who might use it more. So, I thought maybe this might be the end of your contemplating about whether to start using it again or not. I'm shocked too. It's quite a decent starting bid for such a rare and desirable piece of kit; and I don't think they often include the floppy board when they actually do come up for sale. I'm pretty sure the auction would be going differently if it were up for sale here in the U.S. for that price. I will say that I prefer to see them cased; although, I'm not sure how well that works out with the floppy board in there.

Nice job. A good variety of unique Atari sounds.

You can also figure it out by comparing the DIN pinout on that page with the computer video connector pinout above; they're opposites.

It's the cable plugs. See where it says "male" on both of them? S-Vid and Atari Video DIN cable plugs are both male.

That's an improvement on the bass; sounds more stable.

You mean buzzy like a C64?

Most out of tune parts are just single notes. They all seem pretty obvious to me.

These are the two Peterson upgrades that I have on file. 130XE 576K & 1088K Upgrades (Peterson).txt 65XE 130XE-320K Upgrade (Peterson).txt

It's still pretty out of tune in various places.

I guess it's all just special pandemic pricing on places like Ebay.

It sounds like someone having problems tuning in an A.M. radio station.

All that stuff isn't worth more than $350 (if that) anyway. The DVI is just hanging off the back, not even decently installed; and that thing has an ingot, which makes "as is" sound like a potential buyer's risk.

It's not a black box with out the, uh... black box.

That's the first thought that came to my mind. Maybe @Marius can speak up about it, as I'm pretty sure he owned a floppy board with his. Actually, maybe @Marius is the one selling here.

The hack you want is called Incognito.

Sounds great!

There was a sequel released called Dungeon Hunt II. Last I heard, he still had copies of it for sale.

Yeah, still pretty stupid, but probably the kindest explanation one could give for such folly.
