I remember this. 400 with an aftermarket keyboard. That's an 830 modem also.

Anyone having trouble placing orders with Best Electronics?
Brentarian replied to Trellot's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I bought a couple of 1200XL mylars and the rev.10 catalog in early July and had no trouble at all. I had called and left a message, and followed up with an email later that day. Bradley replied with a quote for my order and instructions to pay via PayPal. He also said he prefers that I email future orders. I have no problem with that. By the way, like Michael said, the Best Catalog is a good tool to have. It brings tears to my eyes though when I see those low prices and that I didn't make some purchases when items were still available. (Like the 1450XLD motherboard.) -
Printers Used With Your Atari 8-bit: Then & Now
Brentarian replied to MrFish's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
BITD: 1027, Citizen MSP-10, Panasonic KXP-1124, and a Kyocera laser printer (if 1993 is considered BITD). The Kyocera had Epson compatibility. P:R: was the interface I used (except for the 1027 of course). Modern Day: 1025- not hooked up at the moment, but it does work. Brother inkjet, HP laser through Ape, but once I get a Retro Printer interface I'll be printing through that with the P:R:C (with Epson conversion). -
1088XLD - Custom A8 Computer in 1050 Drive Case
Brentarian replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I guess I'm cheap, lazy, and without respect for Atari as well. I used nylon screws on both my 1088XEL and 1088XLD. Oh, the horror!- 1,001 replies

1088XEL Atari ITX Motherboard DIY Builders Thread
Brentarian replied to Firedawg's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I love being able to program the PICs without pulling out a PC based programmer/burner. All of mine were programmed using a 400/Joy2Pic combination.- 1,748 replies

Jon, do you have any tips on removing those Micro-Match connectors? I usually crush tiny connectors like that when trying to remove them. I am having issues as well with the ribbon cable -- the screen sparkles with digital noise until you touch or move the cable ever so slightly.

Hi TVFB1990 and welcome to AtariAge! I am the one who sold you the Inhome Baseball cartridge on eBay. Shame on me for not trying it on a 1200XL before listing it on eBay, especially since I included the 1200XL in the description with other 8-bit models. Don't worry about filing down the game cartridge or cart tunnel. I've just ordered a cartridge extender from www.bitsofthepast.com and am having it shipped directly to you. The cartridge does work and was tested on an 800XL before shipping. The extender will come in handy with other cartridges you might come across that have trouble fitting the 1200XL (i.e. SIDE2).

1088XEL Atari ITX Motherboard DIY Builders Thread
Brentarian replied to Firedawg's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
My top panel is similar, but I chose to keep the CF slots in the back. It is slated for delivery on the 23rd. Finally, after two years my 1088XEL won't be naked anymore.- 1,748 replies

Many years ago (probably 20+) I purchased a couple of CX-85 number keypads from BG Micro for $5 each. It looks like they found some more recently that they're selling for $20 new. I thought I'd pass it on if anyone is interested (I still have my two and don't need another). They also have the large 400/800 PAL crystals and variable inductors. http://www.bgmicro.com/search.aspx?find=atari

XE Super Cart 128 - Midi-Maze Offering
Brentarian replied to Dropcheck's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I received my boards and will post some pictures later once I get the brown BASIC labels off and new ones affixed. They work great! Tested on several 64K computers and no problems. -
This might be the easiest method to connect an iPad/Mac to an SIO2MIDI or 1088XLD. There are generic ones on eBay and AliExpress for half this price. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MDBT01--yamaha-md-bt01-bluetooth-wireless-midi-interface

1088XLD - Custom A8 Computer in 1050 Drive Case
Brentarian replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Hi Firedawg,I see that your location is Atlanta. Will you be attending VCFSE this year? I will have my 1088XLD on display. -
Thank you! I remember typing in the CX85 programs back in the day. I've been looking for these for a long time.

600XL upgraded with built-in MIDI, UAV, Basic RevC, and 64K
Brentarian replied to mytek's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I may try this with one of my 600XLs after I'm done with the 1088XLD. It looks really nice! -

Atari Computer Exhibit at Vintage Computer Festival East
Brentarian replied to Albert's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'll be at VCFSE 7.0 on April 27 & 28, and so far we have four people representing Atari. I'll be displaying:--1088XEL --1088XLD --various Atari 8-bit models with upgrades --a strong attempt at a MIDI-Maze game consisting of *16* Atari 8-bits (with some help from adjacent Atari tables). -
Hopefully you get it working as I want to see it!
