The vast majority of people on the forums know how trustworthy you are Jurgen. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this, but unfortunately this sometimes happens when selling anything, some people have no patience. 

 

As for the USPS, it's a disaster currently. I have some friends that work there and over the holiday season they literally had semi trucks of packages driving back and forth between hubs because they didn't have the capacity to unload. They are still trying to clear that backlog. I have a package sent in November still on its way to me from two states away.

With, Ataris you have limited supply and there aren't new one made. Still, you can use only one at the time. 

Buying more than one of such expansion, defeats its designed purpose, to be easily movable from one machine to another. How many SIDE2, SIDE3 or AVD carts you need?

 

There are other ways to support creators.  

As I have more than 20 Atari 8bit machines not including XEL/XLD/NUC and Eclaire units I find it disingenuous to say that I wouldn’t need more than 1 u1mb even if it is portable. I will likely buy at least two and possibly more to use with a number of my unexpanded 

machines that I don’t want to modify internally.

 

just because YOU can’t see a use for multiple doesn’t mean it’s not there. I have several each of different multicarts, IDE interfaces, SD and CF carts and I don’t plan on selling any of them for profit or not (besides maybe my original SIDE 1 for cheap)

Why would anyone want to buy more than one? The whole point of this device is that it can be easy moved from one machine to another.

Why would anyone have more than one Atari? they are physically portable and can move from one display to another.

If star raiders isn't working then the cart port isn't working for sure. 

[800xl not reading any cartridges]

What carts are you trying? There are a handful that wont work on the 800XL (although I doubt that's the issue)

Ebay are telling me I'm no longer eligible for their money back guarantee and simultaneously asking me to give the seller more time due to covid.

I've asked the seller to send another one, this one is obviously lost at this point.

Woof, this is one of the reasons I rarely if ever use Ebay any longer. I hope you get your copy soon.

Northern VA, why?

Was going to suggest mailing it to someone who can upgrade the memory for you, or find someone local to do it. 

[Ballblazer on 600XL?]

@Skyfox where are you located?

Not surprised!

I already have 2 21" monitors that do PAL/NTSC but these look awesome. I would suggest that people grab these that are local.

I've been waiting for @kheller2 to weight in here; because I know he owns 800XLF's and has a bunch of threads on here talking about them.

 

I've had 4 XLF's over the years and they have all been 64k... I found one thread talking about it and someone said they had one but after checking the machine was 64k and the box they said showed 129k was long gone. Over the years I have only ever heard anecdotal evidence of these showing up in the wild.

Yes there was a thread here on AA about 128K 800XL's with unpopulated motherboards shown too.

I looked for it but can't find it, do you have a link?

Curious, what kind of fees do they charge for that store? I like the simplicity.

Yes. There were very late model 800XL's (EU only IIRC) that came from the factory with 128KB of RAM. Also all European 65XE's used a 130XE mobo that made 'getting additional 64BKB' very doable. Probably the same for the 800XE.

 

No those were 800XE models, which again were rebadged 130XE motherboards with half memory.

Well, I believe most of you already know my weapon of choice. And no, contrary to popular belief it is not limited to Asteroids. The only type of games it doesn't play well are the ones with pure diagonals (plus that I found that at least LA SWAT crashes randomly using my joystick, whether it is a short or accidental combination of multiple otherwise "impossible" directions at once).

 

I have one of these, it's pretty fun for some games.
