Yes, but yours is a Flashback, not a 2600. Although probably much more impressive to fit a PC in a Flashback!!!

Not sure if anyone posted about this or not but, just in case....... Custom Atari 2600 PC by Hard Drives Northwest

What's the latest Atari related thing(s) you've bought on ebay?
Guitarman replied to Ross PK's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
The original auction was $350 and didn't sell. It was reposted for $250, I made an offer for $175 and they countered with $190, so I took it. Not sure the price these have sold for but I don't think I've seen more than 2 or 3 ever on eBay, so I was willing to pay what I did. It will be a nice addition to my SpartaDOS X and R-Time 8 carts!! Plus, I have the original disk version that I got from Reeves along with their original catalog, which was printed out just like the documentation that's coming with the cartridge. Wow, how did I miss that, I scan Ebay daily. It was up for a long time. Started out high, then reduced to something like $189.00 auction start, and $220 buy now. The sticker on the front looked a little odd and reprinted manuals? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180955911210 -
Count me in for 2.

1MB upgrade for original 520ST...
Guitarman replied to blakespot's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
The inside had space for the 2 drives on one side. The other side is where the power supplies and cables for the drives sit. not much room left for anything else. -
I was able to unzip it fine. Make sure you are renaming (or removing the .zip) from the z01-z05 files. And you also have to have all 6 files in the same location when unzipping. Start the unzip process using the Starfleet_I.zip file.

Hey Bob, I would like one cart. Is there a spot for another?? I also second the request for Star Castle!! Side note...I worked at Cinematronics during the production of both Rip-Off and Star Castle. I worked on both the control panel assemblies and final adjustments on the power supplies and CRT's on the assembly line. It was an amazing experience. I was on the line adjusting Star Castle machines when the radio announced John Bonham's (of Led Zeppelin) death. Very sad day.

Found in the wild!! Found an 800XL with one of the good power supplies at the Capitol Flea Market in San Jose. $15.00. Plastic still on all the brushed aluminum pieces. As if "I" need any more!!! -
How to remove yellowing from an old Atari case
Guitarman replied to mimo's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'm pretty sure I got the 12" bulb and fixture, that or the next size up. I did a 1200XL case with just the creme peroxide (I think it was 40%, if not, 30%) and it did a great job after about 4 hours. I am planning on getting a second fixture and lamp to supply more coverage. I use aluminum foil underneith and up the sides to help reflect the light with a single fixture. -

Get a UV-B tube from the pet store. They are for reptile cages since reptiles need UV to survive. They work great for RetroBriting. And...they work when it's raining!!!! -
1MB upgrade for original 520ST...
Guitarman replied to blakespot's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
They made it wide enough to slide the ST nicely underneath. -
I have 2 complete setups. The second one I found at a swap meet in San Jose last year. Got the Jag and JagCD combo for $80. CD worked perfectly!!

1MB upgrade for original 520ST...
Guitarman replied to blakespot's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
I also have one of these 520 drive cases. It is a very nice case and keeps the system organized. -
The SIO Y cable is definitely doable. I have one that was a 3rd party cable from back in the day and it works great, especially when using 1 for your drive chain and one for a piece of hardware without a passthru.
-
I voted for 1 at the right price. I have one of the original ones but would most likely go for a second.

Remember to also take a look at the MMU Adapter. It will ease the install a bit.

upgrade choices, build or buy, or both
Guitarman replied to Atari8bitCarts's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I would have to agree with the Ultimate1MB. It takes care of most of your upgrade needs in one shot. Plus you get one of the best DOS's there is (SpartaDosX) and a Realtime Clock. If you get it, be sure to get the U1MB MMU Adapter to save you a bit of soldering. Ultimate 1mb MMU Adapter Also, you may want to look into one of the HDD or floppy addons for fast storage. IDEPlus 2.0, SIDE Cartridge, MyIDE, SIO2SD, etc... -

Forgot to post but I got my 2 Ultimate1MB boards last week. Thank you!!!!! Got a lot of projects to do now!!

Yes it is!!! It is, size wise, indentical to the Atari 1064 upgrade. As it was said, the internal 4464 chip upgrade is so much better!!
