[Clear plastic case for the Atari 800]

Didn't Scotty invent transparent aluminum back in 1986?  It seems to me that would be the best solution in recreating the 800's metal shielding to be able to see straight through a clear case.

This should be pretty economical when used on multiple computers who share a common monitor.

C0pperdragon also has modules for the 2600, Vic20/64, TMS based (CV, TI994A), and Spectrum.  I wonder if the TMS version would work (fit) in your CV NUC+.

[Can any USB adapters power an 800XL? Looks not.]

I recently purchased a few of these USB C to 7pin adapters from @mozzwald and they work great with my XL/XE's.  No issues at all running them with Samsung power adapters.

[Want to buy a color printer]

Retroprinter.com with an RPi converts parallel and sends it to just about any network or usb printer.

 

If Fujinet could send a printed PDF to a SMB share then you could have a script scheduled in Linux or Windows to monitor that folder and print anything that gets dumped into it.

I'm all in for the modern case, but it would sure be cool to have it in a 1450XLD style case.  Call it the 1490XLD.  There wouldn't be the need for a built-in drive and the height would give room for cards.  Making the case would be a challenge though.

RetroTink would also work for this - do you have one of those?

I just ordered one.  I've been meaning to buy one for a few years and figured this is a good time as any to do so. 

 

I'm not as adept with C64 as I am with Atari, but I'm learning.

Let me check tonight if I have an LCD that works with PAL.  I've only used this one with a Sony PVM.

Michael, I have a PAL C64 I can lend you if you need it for testing.  Just let me know and I'll ship it out this week.  

[New to Atari 8-bit computing; where to begin with modern peripherals?]

Fortunately, the Atari 8bit community is blessed with a lot of modern options to upgrade.  Since you want to explore now, I would recommend a FujiNet device to start off with.  There are many servers around the world that you can connect to with FujiNet and boot into games and programs immediately without having to download and copying to an SD card.  You'll be able to run the majority of the games with the 800XL's 64K and it will give you time to decide what other upgrades you might want.  There are games that do require 128K all the way up to 1MB and like what was mentioned above, you could try those out with the Altirra emulator until you choose a memory upgrade.

Oh, the centipede? That's my subtle way of embracing the art of strategic ignorance. You know, they say ignorance is bliss, so I figured a centipede would be the perfect companion on this journey of blissful nonchalance. Each leg represents a layer of blissful unawareness. So, in a way, I'm not just resisting to ignore; I'm orchestrating a symphony of obliviousness, and the centipede is my maestro!

Ha - I thought they were resistors.

HI @Brentarian,

 

Which model Atari are you using? It is possible that for your computer, you may need the fix that @Imperious described here in this thread:

 

https://forums.atariage.com/topic/353560-c0pperdragon-gtiadigitizer-for-atari-8bit/page/2/

 

 

2 stock 600XLs and a 1088XEL and 3 different GTIAs.  It is easy enough to try it in a few more models, but I think I'll get the same results.

[Another Successful C0pperdragon Lumacode Conversion -- Atari 130XE]

For the GTIAdigitizer, did you have to make changes to any RGBTOHDMI options besides choosing the Atari 800 Lumacode profile?  My results so far are not good.  I've left a msg to C0pperdragon on Github.  The RGBTOHDMI works great with the VIC-II-tizer on my C64 though.

I ordered from Lotharek recently and it took less than 2 weeks from Poland to the USA, which I think is darn good.

I had that same TV with my 1200XL.  I actually still have it and the picture is fairly good for being 40 years old.  It is a 13" RCA XL100 from 1983 I believe.
