[A case for the N: device and a NOS going forward.]

That’s awesome !

[STE Upgrade Board]

You are right it is over complicating on a technical side. But at the time, Atari was still fully active, so in order to sell a commercial product for Dual TOS they might have had no other choice than to provide space for 4 ROM chips, all official from Atari. That’s just a guess 

[STE Upgrade Board]

Looks like a TOS 2.06 upgrade card:https://temlib.org/AtariForumWiki/index.php/Compo_Software but it looks like the GAL is missing on yours.

[Building a 6502 breadboard computer, question about EEPROM]

Agreed, parallel eeproms are cheap and easy to use. If you want to use SPI flash, you’ll need to use SPI65 which is going to require some extra hardware and the code to manage this hardware. Simplest option would be to use SST39F010, it’s DIP package, flash so you can easily reflash each time you need to change something. I would also strongly recommend the excellent 6502 Primer by Garth WILSON:http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/

or better, somebody could contribute the code? (there IS a reason this code is open!)

I’d love to be able to do that, but I know my programming skills 😔

[CONFIG Improvements?]

Hi do you think it would be feasible to have some features to manipulate disk images from CONFIG ? Like Delete, Rename or even Move? 
simple example: you can create a New disk image in your SD, but if you  have a typo in the name, you have to take the SD card out plug it to your PC to rename it... or I missed something?

 I did the porting of the code to Teensy 3.5 but not sure about performance (didn't build the Hardware yet)  🙃

Hi, do you have your port to teensy 3.5 available on GitHub ? I was considering a port to Teensy too (maybe even Teensy 4.x with level converters).

[FujiNet v1.3 Hardware Release]

Did you have trouble flashing it before applying the solder bridge or was it just a preemptive fix? 

Flashing didn’t work at all before. I tried multiple times, installed the driver for the us to serial, etc...rebooted my Mac a few time until I remembered this thread. After applying the solder bridge it worked immediately. 

[New or Replacement Injection Molded ST cases?]

Nope. Some people are working on 3D printed ones, but it will require a huge 3D printer. 
There is a long, long, long thread explaining why there isn’t any injection molded case for Ataris and why any attempt to make one failed. Check on Exxos forum. 

[FujiNet v1.3 Hardware Release]

Got my FujiNet 1.3 yesterday, tried to flash, no luck. 
I opened it today and was a bit scared when I saw the real size of U2, but bridging pins 5&6 was not so difficult...with a good magnifier.

Thanks for all the detailed information and the awesome work you’re doing on FujiNet!

[tnfs server on mac?]

Here it is: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/spectranet/releases/tag/TNFSD-2020-10-19

It's the spectra net repo, but you need to go into the "release" to get the binary. 

 

[tnfs server on mac?]

Hi, go to FujiNet GitHub and in the tnfs release you’ll find a Mac binary. 

Download it, change permissions to make it executable and you can start it from the command line. 
If you want it to run automatically, you can add it to launchd config.

I went so far yesterday but haven’t tested an actual connection yet as my FujiNet arrived only yesterday afternoon. 

[Sophia 2]

FYI, it's now available, but strangely I can't manage to find the initial post on this, did I miss something ? 
 

[TOS rom locations/placements]

Yes, you’re correct you insert the chip in the leftmost position and end up with pin 1 of the IC actually being in pin3 of the socket. 
And yes, 66 is LO while 65 is HI.

 

[Converter to use modern controllers on Atari?]

If you don’t want to solder an adapter, you can also purchase This

not sure 8-bit do adapter + this seagull adapter is really worth it though. 

[Converter to use modern controllers on Atari?]

You can actually find the schematics here : Genesis adapter

[Converter to use modern controllers on Atari?]

I have one of these wireless adapters, but it doesn't work directly as Genesis is not pin compatible with Atari. You will need to purchase or build a small adapter to make it work on the Atari. I built the adapter a few months ago,  it's pretty straightforward: 2x DB9, a few resistors and 2 transistors. 
You can find schematics in old posts here on the forum. 

 

[Atari 1050 Disk Drive Power-Up Failure]

Hi, do you have a 1050 diagnostic disk you can run? It could really help spotting where the issue comes from.

Also, having a good 1050 to swap chips and drive to isolate is really helpful. 

[alignment disks.]

Should be possible with a Kyroflux setup though. But obviously more expensive than buying the disk from B&C. 

 

[Sophia 2 - improved GTIA replacement]

Would this new Sophia 2 work in a SECAM 800Xl? If yes, would it still be limited to 128 colours or would it become the same  as a PAL machine?

[Sophia 2 preorder thread]

I would like to buy 2 for 600xl please. 

[Sophia 2 - improved GTIA replacement]

Hi, I’d be glad to get one too!

[#FujiNet - a WIP SIO Network Adapter for the Atari 8-bit]

Ordered the parts for an ESP32 build. Are you still developing for esp8266 or is the esp32 now the main target ?

[8bitDO Genesis bluetooth adapter and Atari 8-bit]

I got this 8bitdo adapter a few weeks back only to discover it was not compatible with my Atari XL. After searching the forum here I found the design for a genesis to Atari converter and a perfboard, a few resistor and 2 transistors later I had it working perfectly on the Atari. 
here is the link to the  Original post.

Hello Ebiguy, I’m from Paris area and I’ve been quietly watching this forum for a while. If you hear a bout any retro event in France, I’d be glad to join too.

cheers.
