Thanks a lot for sharing this, my very first computer was sadly no Atari but a Colecovision ADAM which ran CP/M. It's the first OS that I started with and as such ATR8000 is shipping to Belgium

@Mr Robot @R0ger The reason I'm looking to merge these 2 mouse covers are to use it with this board http://lavago.de/retro-computer.html The Square Mouse.stl is what I received (on the leftside of the picture) with the board. The laser will shut off automatically when it thinks that the board has been lifted as in the mouse has been lifted from the table. Because the Square Mouse.stl cover doesn't exactly fit , the mouse hardly ever works since the laser lens doesn't sit flush and the laser shuts off. So my question/idea was to merge the SquareMouse.stl with the Atari Mouse cover . As such the lens would sit flush and and the laser wouldn't think that the mouse has been lifted from the table. Also the merged cover wouldn't leave the PCB visible and disables dust from entering the enclosure. A huge thank you guys for looking into this, I'm completely a disaster in 3D design or design in general. I can picture it in my mind but that would mean I will have to wait for a 3D printer that can be hooked to my brain

Thanks a lot , the buttons are looking good !

Thanks a lot !

As fast as possible I can wait for it, would be nice to have between now and the next 5 weeks.

I didn't get your question.

I would like to take you up on that offer. The floppydrive bezel and the 3 eject buttons are the most important currently for me. I could pay via Paypal for the printing and shipping.

Wunsche dir dass beste und bin sicher dass du dass sehr GUT machen wirst. So blode touchscreen handy.

I would like to have a few small parts printed and they should match the XE color hence I'm clueless if I would go to a local print shop. Is there anybody who can print these things and send them to me (Belgium,Europe) against payment of course ? Would be better shipping wise for somebody from the EU or UK but I guess shipping in an padded envelope from the US doesn't cost an arm and leg neither. 1 x https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2748180 3 x https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3141512 And beyond my knowledge how to do a merge between these 2 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3785679 Square Mouse Cover v1r0.stl Thanks upfront for your feedback

And so after a long hiatus due to work, severe backspin, waiting on parts, resurrecting both an Atari 1040STfm and an 800XE, progress. After soldering buttons, LEDs and various cables , the TrackDisplay assembly has finally been wired up. I also used a longer FFC cable and a 2x4 Dupont connector that connects to the Display PCB. Since I had it working like this with my previous shorter FFC cable , I again solder the wires directly to the exposed part of the FFC connector. Since I now have more length due to the longer ribbon cable, I decided to lay the PCB lengthwise also but had to desolder/resolder and bend some connectors for this new layout so the shorten cables would reach it. And last but not least, I wanted to add a power off/on switch so I can switch on the diskdrive independently of the main Atari power switch. I ran the cables thru the side for now to test them , still not sure where I will place the buttons and display but I should have enough wire to position them. But now , where to put them ?

My apologies, also didn't want to be rude. I finally figured it out, when I use Safari on OSX , I always get a message there is a problem with an external party when trying to register and if I would go back to viewing Atari-forum as a guest , it would ban my IP , although it isn't in the StopForumSpam database. I found it a bit running around in circles , how can I get banned for posting Spam on their forum when I'm not even able to register a user to post on their forum. Using Firefox I was perfectly able to register a new account, with the same public Belgian IP

I don't know how I've helped, I'm the one who cannot register for some reason at Atari-forum. I got no clue why I can't register there. I'm actually the one asking for help ?

Off topic, but I seem to be unable to register at atari-forum.com When I try to register , it states that there is an issue with an external party. When I browse the forum afterwards (with no user), I get the message that my IP has been banned because of the StopForumSpam policy until a time in the past ? When I check that website (StopForumSpam), I states that my public IP is not in their database. Have sent a mail to the forum admin's but didn't get any reply yet. How can I spam a forum if I don't even have a user to logon ? A bit puzzled now. Like this forum atari-forum.com has a lot of usefull resources and information , but I can't acces it.

Newbie to Atari in general, although I have been making my first steps these past 2 years with an 130XE and now an Atari 1040STfm. I've been looking at a lot of HardDisk solution these past few days : ASCSI -> SCSI like Gigafile , ICD Link II , Gigafile is expensive in my opinion and although I still own SCSI harddrives , ICD Link II is hard to find second hand Inventronik ACSI-SCSI Adapter Series II and a SCSI harddrive ? SCSI2SD looks promising but then I would need ASCSI to SCSI again ? and don't quite find if it works on an ST(fm) UltraSatan interesting but expensive well all the options are maybe I'm just used to cheaper 8 bit solutions CosmosEX have sent the email but no response yet, looks like the all-in-one solution So I thought to use an UltraSatan Micro in combination with NetUSBee , as such the UltraSatan Micro could stay connected on the back of the STFM and since everything is done via networking , Mac/PC don't have to be physically close to each other and I don't need to swap CD/SD/MicroSD cards when wanting to transfer things. Am I correct with above assumption or are there any other caveats I should know ? Can I make a tiny Micro-USB hole/connector inside the ST and to the UltraSatan Micro and just run a standard USB cable between them for power ?

eBAY.DE 58 EUR 800XE broken , powerswitch stuck. So I took one from my Parts-Only 130XE and replaced it and tadaah. I need to clean/brush the keys since they actually aren't that yellowed , just really dirty, the inside also had a lot of dust. But the top and bottom case still have their almost original grey color

Not much, I have been waiting on parts like Dupont connector and such, finally found a source in the Netherlands which delivers quickly and with cheap shipping so I don't have to wait on a boat coming from China or pay immense huge import duties. Life has also kept me busy with a broken Windows 10 installation, installing Windows 7 64bit on a 32bit EFI MacPro and resurrecting an Atari ST. I would shorten the parallel and serial connectors, cut a piece of their plastic housing (by lack of find angled to PCB connector ones) . Found a 7 pin Dupont connector for the SIO part but unsure if I will have cable to SIO male leave the enclosure at the back or insert a female SIO into the case ( could take a female one from a parts only 130XE ? ) There is still some room in the front for a female SIO connector. Also need to find a switch to turn off the ESP but unsure how ? 5V and GND but what about the MotorControl line ? And one more thing waiting on Sleepy to sell me his Star LC10 so I can test the parallel interface and quickly be reminded how much noise printers made.

Will there be a tape or disk version ?

Ordered via your webshop, awesome that these are 1 single cart !

Since those weren't in stock , I bought a replacement PSU from atarifreakz and yes, it boots my 3 EUR sold as broken 1040STfm !

Looks like the Amstrad CPC version got it's official release : https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=83118

Still haven't decided where to place stuff, waiting on led's and connectors in order to proceed.

If it concerns phreaking , I would be interested in it. Always have been interested in (tele)communications

Aha that confirms my suspicion ! My enhanced 130XE has SIO2MIDI onboard which is always attached and with this machine I was no longer able to load tapes from my XC12. My internal floppy doesn't seem to disturb the tape loading but SIO2MIDI does. I just unhooked the SIO wiring to the SIO2MIDI and now my tape loads , before it would go to SystemCheck routine. Guess I will have to add an external switch if I don't want to wiggle around the connector every time.

Today I went to a local electronics store to buy some stuff and noticed they sell these cases also . Colorwise it's a bit darker than the XE grey but still close enough, it's a tad longer but that is maybe needed for a female SIO connector. Still would need a switch to turn off the ESP and the ESP inside a box might not be the best idea for WiFi reception
