  1. Anybody else here looking to lighten their collection load and part with an 810? I’m working with a possible seller but nothing yet… I’d entertain other offers in case this one doesn’t materialize. Thx kindly.
  2. Someone must be looking to lighten their load or collection a bit??
  3. Not too picky so long it’s not beaten up and possibly repairable without feats of magic. Lol. What you got? Thx!
  4. I’d take non-working good cond clean earlier model version if the price was right. Might be able to fix it. ? Thx.
  5. I’d prefer to not buy off eBay if I can help it. Had a few bad experiences. I trust our knowledgeable group here far more. Thx.
  6. 100% on both accounts. Ancient tech that’s super cheap miniaturized now. Especially China production. And have look on eBay.
  7. Lower 48 state. USA. Private message me with photos please and I can provide shipping address with payment. Thx. Sorry, not in UK!
  8. For the price it should and could easily have a working keyboard and take an original cart in its cart slot. There’s no reason at that price point that it could not be a fully working actual mini 400 and still be profitable to produce and sell. Hard pass here. Cool idea. Under featured and half baked for the hefty price. Buy 2 real used 400s for that price!
  9. Hi Gang. Does anybody have a working, good condition, clean 810 drive they’d sell? I’m looking for one for my 800. Thx kindly. Cheers.
  10. Fully. It was also completely reassembled, tested, used extensively and then let sit untouched. Maybe I’ve got some kind of power-on line surge issue or grounding/static problem in my house?? If so, why only the 3 800xls and none of the other stuff? They all are plugged into the same house circuit and multi outlet surge protector too. Use the exact same power brick on the 130xe too. No issue.
  11. Perhaps the Rewind and Alley Dog crew should try their hand at an A8 Petscii port.
  12. Compare the A8 color version with the C64 version on YouTube. I do realize it is called PETscii and not ATAscii or A8scii for a reason. We all know how much David loves his Commodores. It’s just a shame the A8 ports seems to get the least love because the size of the C64 home brew retro enthusiast scene is massive compared with the A8 scene due to the significant difference in # computers originally sold. Same as the demo scene. Some of latest C64 demos are just sick (ridiculously good) whereas the latest A8 demos are very meh by comparison. Economies of scale.
  13. Have to compliment David on such a cool new 8bit game. Very well done. It’s a shame though that the A8 port is by far the worst of any system port of this game out there by comparison. Thankful and certainly no offence to whoever ported this to A8, but can’t we get a version that’s at least on par with the C64 version (which is excellent) ? I wouldn’t personally buy a copy until this happens, as I think it’s a disservice to the A8s capabilities and community to accept such mediocrity for something that isn’t free shareware.
  14. This brings up another interesting question… What is the general consensus on continually using old original hardware vs. storing it properly but unused over time, for what would be more likely to cause eventual IC component failure? Perhaps neither, and it all comes down to the quality of manufacturing of the original ICs? Perhaps somewhere along the line, a slowly failing power supply brick was attached to all of my 800xls supplying a slowly creeping up higher voltage before I caught it and replaced it? The damage may have been done years ago, and is only being realized now as they age further and are thus more sensitive to failure? As mentioned, none of my other machines or disk drives, etc have failed yet (1200xl, 800, 130XE) and they all get used similarly. I’m really scratching my head as to why only my 3 800xls keep blowing IC’s. ?? Updated Best Power brick is near new and outputs 100% correct voltage.
