I purchased the game as I remember loving it back on the ST. That said I am terrible at it and prefer to just show it off at vintage computer shows. 😁

If you still have Keyboard connectors I'd be interested in one.

For Infocom fans I heartily suggest the podcast Eaten by a Grue. Hosted by @Savetz and Carrington Vanston. They have a pretty big spoiler fence on each episode so if you haven't played and don't want spoilers you will know when to stop listening.

I know...NTSC.
I mean technically you can make a NTSC 60XL have a monitor port even without a UAV... All the spaces are there on the motherboard, just have to populate them.

This have to do with the frequency of the main Y1 crystal, and the type of Antic - GTIA who you will use on this. Also some components and the Y2 crystal not used in NTSC implementation.
Panos, can you breakdown what is omitted for the NTSC implementation?
-
Not sure where the mixup is, I ordered directly from Mouser just the cart supplied by Panos minus the SMD. I have a 130XE here that will be supplying everything else.
I will be getting the GAL and 2x41464 from Ebay later this month

Would you be willing to share your Digikey BOM to other Digikey users? This can be done under your profile using their "BOM Manager" interface. My ID is [email protected] Thanks!
I used the mouser cart Panos supplied earlier
-
I removed the SMD components from the cart as I am having Panos do those for me. It totaled $128 with shipping and tax in the US

Ordered the Mouser cart today, a couple items are backordered but I should have them all here by the end of the month. Looking forward to building this.

What connectors are required that can be purchased as opposed to reused from an existing Atari

Thank you so much, having a basket means I won’t miss something silly when I place my order
is this everything minus the Atari chips?

But at the same time, I’m not interested in dropping nearly $300 for a proper scaler until and unless someone buys one and confirm it works with all the screwy video timings of 2600 games like Starmaster, Battlezone, Empire Strikes Back, etc. If it can handle all those, I can talk myself into dropping cod]in for it if only to future-proof myself against eventual CRT failure. But until then, I just can’t do it.
Oh I totally agree, my 2xpro was a little more than I wanted to pay in the first place so it will have to do the job and anything it can't work with I'll find other solutions. Luckily I have a couple really nice PVM that have barely any use on them that should keep me in CRTs for the foreseable future.

Besides, which RetroTink gives good/best results for the A8 (PAL or NTSC), the 2X Mini, the 2X Classic or the 2X Pro ?!? Or are they all good/very good for the A8 via composite/S-Video ?
Well it's a completely different machine, one is a line doubler and the other is a proper scaler
-
I would be interested if someone put together a digikey or mouser cart for all of the non Atari parts.

I was just posting what the OP was asking for... I agree that is a little bit of hyperbole LOL (Personally replaced at least three power switched on a8 machines myself)

I have a box full, I'll sell them for $100 each 😁

Honestly if you don't need the cash I would keep it.

Any Atari 8bit stuff?

2 hours ago, Steve Mynott said:Thanks for the replies. I guess people are using these without issue and there is no risk of blowing the old workhorse up?
I've used most of these with no issues. The one I linked at Atari Giant has the on/off switch you were looking for.

Dangit, how did I miss this

17 hours ago, Steve Mynott said:I was looking at the old 800XL earlier and it stuck me that despite all the modern upgrades it still had the huge clunker of a brick power supply!
(actually this was pointed out by the sniggering Other Half)
Is there a modern replacement maybe with an on/off switch on it?
Atari Giant has what you need

Yes, but what is the nature of the problem... What happens? Giving specifics can help with troubleshooting.
