Almost Rice

Already done. I got the upgrade from Craig Lisowski in the link above. All it took was bending 1 pin on 3 different chips and 3 new links from those pin to the PBI. Worked immediately. Really cool since the 600xl is the smallest 8bit.

26550 I need to use a different joystick. Its hard on the index finger.

168970 So close yet so far away.... I guess this post is too late anyway

This is because he did not want to use a Reserved Auction. I notice that no matter how well you advertise, Reserve auctions tend not to be very active.

This was the prior listing. He does not list Mean 18 in the description in either listing. He wanted a bit much w/o Mean 18. Thats probably why it did not sell the 1st time.

152620 hmm. I went the last 50,000 on the last ms.

I have that exact box inside my 1050 box. It fits perfectly. I assume that you have already tried to use it.

Sounds shifty to me. That is why I have been waiting on a feature like blacklisted sellers. Ebay lets you mark favorite sellers, but does not allow you save a list of bad ones. I would love to be able to mark a seller and to note to myself what I had to watch out for.

146710 so close...

I played Hardball with my bro all the time. Lots of fun

Really, I was considering picking up a FB2 just to get the new joysticks. Some of my old atari joysticks have seen better days. I currently use the 500xj but they are a bit bigger than my hand making hard to grip.

I usually play starting at Banana and can usually get 180,000 from there. Starting at Cherry, the way I play seems to be different and I keep getting killed on the 3rd maze and get only about 100,000. I had been able to get to the 5th maze. On a very good day, the 6th maze is possible. I started playing Ms Pacman on the cabinet they put into my mom's convenient store. I like the arcade controls. This is where I think people may have an advantage. I still dont know how Jeff can get 112,740 on a keyboard. I am getting my scores using an Epyx 500xj. Also, I dont post scores lower than a previous higher score. Art, how are you playing(console or emulator) and what controls are you using. In the old days when my reaction times were better, I could easily get 200,000. I have included my last attempt. I lost 3 in one maze alone. Also included is my high scores for Cherries where I am just hitting a brick wall past 100,000.

The version is dated Oct. 8 2005 on the title screen.

110470 I seem to be hitting a brick wall.

dup.

Go with a 800xl. They are easily found on ebay in lots with games for cheap. Its likely to have socketed chips. I have 2 socketed and 1 that is not. They would then be easier to upgrade. I have seen some go $20-30 with carts and games. If you dont want to deal with upgrading but have been expanded the most, 130xe is good. They keyboard does suck and more most do not have socketed chips. Other you should consider are the XEGS or the 800. Some of the 800s have one of the best keyboards.

I hope you have lots of space. Info on the 5260 If you are serious about collecting Macs, try www.craigslist.org. Look under the for sale section for computers. Make sure you are under Atlanta. It defaults to San Francisco.

108330 My hand is numb. Just like the old days.

Atari 600xl

Well, I have successfully put the ram chips from the XEGS into the 600xl. It works, but with only 16k. Craig Lisowski's mod of the 600xl So I found this mod from Craig. I saw it before but never attempted it because I did not have the ram chips. Works great. The MyIDE interface loads up. AR

Hi, I was looking into upgrading my 600xl to 64k or more. I have found that the 600xl uses 2x 4416 chips and the xegs uses 2x 4464 chips. They look like the pins are compatible and I could use the chips from a XEGS to upgrade a 600xl. What else would I need to take upgrade the 600xl? Will it be able to recognize the extra space? How about XEGS upgrades? Has anyone tried to use one in a 600xl or would the 600xl's lack of Freddie be a problem? The reason I want to do this is because the xegs is currently dead and I could use its chips for other systems. Thanks AR link to ram types

Karateka gets my vote. I remember using an Apple ][ and using the keyboard was more fun than the 7800 with Prolines.

61740 I used my Epyx 500XJ that I just repaired

Really? I thought the game just kept going until you ran out of lives.

That is one of the reasons I hate soft power buttons. I miss having direct control of the power when you wanted to turn it off and on.
