Has the waiting list already been published?

Is that Colleen or Candy or both

And in Bavaria too 🙂

And the XE line. see my Avatar picture

What were the main benefits of a 1090XL design BITD? In my opinion Atari addresses the following: 1) Get more slots (PBI exposed slots) 2) Buffering the signals 3) do already address decoding for the needed PBI ID 4) additional common power supply 5) maybe more I don`t know The points 2 to 4 for sure aimed to make expansion card design cheaper and easier BITD. By todays technology that is maybe not so importnat anymore. My hope would be that a 1090 could be an enabler to produce more PBI expansion cards which can co-exist and the entry barrier for hobbyists which are not perfect in electronics were lower. In the end it`s a hobby and there is no good reason for doing things than "It´s fun and joy".

I hope the board layout on PCBWay has the issues ironed out he had while assembling: https://ezcontents.org/atari-800xl-pcb-soldering-and-troubleshooting

The 800xl pcb clone is made available https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Atari_800XL_PCB_remake_v1_1.html

The Number Cruncher is a copied version with all the bugs ironed out http://www.asic.cc/NumberCruncher.html who knows whether that design could be adapted for the Atari?

Count me in for a boxed version.

Count me in for at least one board.

Will there be a cartridge version?

Are the schematics of the Bit3 card already available somewhere? is the ROM protected? I am asking as you said it needs to be reverse-engineered.

I can test with another 48K board. I have to look through my stuff if I have 16K board without case. Do I have to disconnect any wire if I want to try the 48K board?
