John Harris On-line Systems Jaw Breaker Variation
AeroDD replied to robcatron's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'm sure it's been mentioned in other threads, but there is a fairly good telling of the Jawbreaker story in the book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy. -
Top 10 Atari BASIC Games - from a Magazine
AeroDD replied to MrFish's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I really enjoyed Acrobat, published in Compute! in February 1985 (Issue 57; Vol 7, No 2). https://archive.org/details/1985-02-compute-magazine/page/n57/mode/1up It was Temple Run before there was a Temple Run. ATR available at: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-acrobat_20623.html -
3-D Printable Atari 8-bit Cartridge Holder
AeroDD replied to Bill Lange's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I could be wrong, but the words won't match up for you to mate two cartridge holders together. -
I had only purchased one copy of Computer Shopper back in the day and I remember typing in the Response Analysis Program from the September 1985 issue. It was an Eliza-like therapy simulation, and was good for a laugh. (My juvenile mind figuring out how to trigger the "same to you, buster!" response) Now thanks to the work of @Allan and @Atari_Ace I have been able to experience it again. I've attached an ATR with the program if anyone is interested. Computer_Shopper_Sept_1985-RAP.atr

I had an issue with my 800xl where sometimes I’d get a green screen and other times a black screen. It took swapping the PIA to get mine operational.

#FujiNet - a WIP SIO Network Adapter for the Atari 8-bit
AeroDD replied to tschak909's topic in #FujiNet SIO Network Adapter
Looking forward to today’s presentation at virtual VCF East. Break a leg, @tschak909 -
Me too. It was my first thought upon reading the topic title.

A display cabinet is a great idea. I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for something similar. Thank you for the idea.

Picked this up in a recent eBay auction... needs some work on the keyboard: 466275 #153 AW490365 4/15

It was the postal system. Slovakia Post to USPS.

In case anyone was curious as to current shipping times to the US for and AVGCART, @tmp sent mine on 17 Aug, and I received it on 27 Aug. 10 days isn't bad considering the state of international shipping these days. Thanks, tmp! This device is really great.

Wiring sdrive max with dip style arduino
AeroDD replied to Jayemaitch's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
SIO pin 10 is +5V/Ready and in Mr Robot's diagram is wired to the 5V pin on the underside of the Arduino. I just inserted a switch on that wire, so that the switch opens/closes the circuit. A SPST switch would work, but I had two matching SPDT switches, so I only wired one side of the switch. It's a little hard to see when zoomed in (and behind the wires of the other switch), but the red/orange wires are how I wired the SIO +5V line. Also, StickJock makes a really good point, this doesn't disable the USB/barrel power, so you have to be mindful that you don't supply power through both SIO and external power. Their recommendation of a diode on this line is probably a good idea. -

Here are a few pictures. Sorry they are a little blurry, and please forgive any poor solderwork (I'm a novice at soldering).
