If you put that much effort into making a cab, at least finish the job with an arcade joystick.

Apple II Clone in an Atari 1200XL Case
Almost Rice replied to Tempest's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
It is a Brazilian computer clone. -
Texted the guy, looks like only 4 SONY PGM-200R2U left.

On a lighter note. There are a dozen Sony PVM 29" in Dallas. I'll try to pick one up next time I am up there. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ele/4891894736.html If anyone in dallas can get them before they are all spoken for it would be great.

7800 Missing in action cart w/instructions (SOLD)
Almost Rice replied to jay2068's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
They were included in the initial shipment. Many were thrown away because it was place between the 2 cardboard pieces and looked like only reinforcement to protect the cartridge. -
What Were Your First and Second Data Storage Peripherals?
Almost Rice replied to MrFish's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I got a Taihaho tape drive from Toys R Us. Then a 1010, 1050, ATR8000 w/ 3 quad drives, and Finally an XF551 during the 80s -
Or depending where you are at, do a straight trade for a NTSC 800xl

I never used 99 controllers, but my Intellivision 2 controllers killed my thumbs and index fingers everytime i used them.

I was trying to get this done for Halloween, but...
Almost Rice replied to PacManPlus's topic in Atari 7800
Can we get a Robotron like controls where we can aim seperately from directional movement? Would that make the game too easy? -
Does it have highlights for other languages? I have never heard of ConTEXT before. I use UltraEdit since it has highlights for SQR and Peoplecode. I saw SQR on the link provided.

I had a Taihaho tape deck for a few months before the 1050. I didnt include the 410 since my uncle owned that with his 400 computer. -
ATARI 800 keyboard repair or "how I did my first root canal"
Almost Rice replied to FlorianD's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Tell patient, playing Defender will cause premature spacebar failure. -
That is from the adhesive. I have not seen one without the discoloration since the 80s

atari 1064 in addition to 64k two chip upgrade?
Almost Rice replied to rockdoc2010's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
You are better off seeing if you can get Ram 320XL upgrade from ctirad. It should cost about the same as a 1064. It is the best way to u/g a 600xl. -
wow, we even have a user here. My brother doesn't have any free time to mess with the Atari. He has 3 kids. I have those disks somewhere at my parent's house. I would have to do some digging.
-
cleaned it up some

wow, I just notice the address. I will be in that area in a couple days. I'll stop and take some pictures.

I just ordered 3 A+. I know I will use one to build a bluetooth/wifi gate opener. The other one I will build into a arcade joystick panel to play some old school game on games on mame. I got the 3rd because it made the order free shipping. I will figure something out for it.

I had an old Carina 2 bbs using an ATR8000 and quad floppies

How did you learn about Atari Age and the TI-99/4A forum?
Almost Rice replied to Omega-TI's topic in TI-99/4A Computers
I have some old Quad density 5.25 drives. I may just go with a couple 3.5" drives. just dont know yet since I would need to buy the floppy controller and 32K memory. Might just get the nanoPEB instead. I found out the monitor cable works with my 600XL, but has no color since it is a PAL system. I have been degaussing the monitor, but may not be too effective since the color shift seems to be caused by the monitor speaker. Wasnt expecting the monitor, but I did need a small color monitor. I love the size. One thing I noticed, Chris' wife seemed happy that I was taking off his hands. My wife on the other hand was not too happy, but I had just repaired our HP 8150DN and saved us near $200 so she could not argue with my hobby since it produced savings. also, hard to argue with free. -

Almost Rice replied to Omega-TI's topic in TI-99/4A Computers
Atari 7800 and 8 bits. Only came in here because Chris was giving away 99 computers n Pebs. Now I have more things to buy. Thx Chris Now with a full setup, I dont have much excuse to not get in TI 99s. I have not touched a 99 since 81 or 82. I grew up with Atari XL XE and an Apple IIc.
