Oops, thanks for reminding me, I played game 1 this season and then fell off. 

[The Dumb Things I've Done...]

When I got back into Atari I ended up throwing out a bunch of carts that I thought didn't work on my 800XL. Nope they just needed a 400/800 or a translator disk. At that time I had no idea. Still kick myself about that.

No. but you can add it easily.

What would be the best Flashback for her to purchase currently that Pole Position can be added to? (I can do the upgrade/add Pole Position if I have the instructions) 

[SUperSIO Splitter]

Yes please!!! 

[Pole Position]

I have a non gamer friend who is dying to get some kind of flashback type unit with Pole Position on it. I know the old Jakks Pacific Pac Man plug and plays had it, but I was wondering if there is something a little more up to date that might have it? I do not follow the Flashbacks or such so I figured asking the AA hivemind would be the best way to go.

it was patched for NTSC, and the patched version is here on AA. Same thing for elektraglide.... which is still a pisser even in pal

Yes I wrote that there is a patched version. nice of you to omit that part from the quoted text. I added that as not everyone is familiar with it. 

 

Elektraglide... Speak for yourself. I enjoy both games in PAL.

Montezuma's revenge  and  Dropzone are both beautiful games that I've tried so many times, and want to love them,  but they are just too dang hard.

 

 

If you are playing original Dropzone on a NTSC machine it's the pits, it's best played on a PAL machine for correct timing and an easier game play (there is also a NTSC patched version to correct the timing) 

[Pondering About Max's]

I wouldn't buy PAM for that price, however there are very few in the original packaging in the wild so I don't think it's too far off. 

[Looking for a printer solution]

That's a pretty good price for a P:R Connection especially with cables. If I didn't have one I would grab it myself. But you would have to do the 5v mod (you really should do that anyway)

I appreciate the offer, but I have installed the Mosaic and right now, it isn’t working right. I’ll be troubleshooting it tonight.

Good luck! Hope it doesn't take much to get working.

B-Key was one of the things I really wanted in the early 80s. I never really got serious about programming until I got my 800XL. I bought this with the keyboard for nostalgic reasons. I actually bought my original machine because I thought the keyboard was futuristic looking and cool.

You know, I have a spare Atari official 48k upgrade that isn't installed in a machine yet. IF you want to keep the machine as ATARI as possible you could always trade your mosaic for it. Just a suggestion.

Would it be possible to just purchase a manual?

[Install or keep as it is?]

If it's got a Bkey then upgrade it. You've already changed the machine (albeit reversibly). 

[Custom SYS Check 2.2 case]

Looks like the SYS CHECK 2.1 has a different layout. Darnit.

Wow...I've never claimed any of these items, in fact I am normally saying I don't know stuff and I'm probably one of the least important people on here but to say I behave like it in every post is just utter nonsense, I spend more time trying to help people and making them feel welcome..

 

Or have I made a mistake and its not me?

Not THIS time.

the game crashes when loading it with Basic ON - not a problem but sometimes I forget to turn BASIC off...

Well that seems to be a you problem don't you think?
