I have a testing and working 65XE for sale in good condition, the keyboard has slight yellowing on the left side but not that noticeable. There are no cables or power supply included. $100 with UPS ground shipping included. Domestic US. I also have another one with no yellowing in this thread: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/347031-fs-ntsc-atari-65xe/

Friday rainy day project = Fit Ultimate 1MB into my 65XE Remake. Not being happy with the pillar style of mounting the U1MB and that I was only able to find a mounting bracket for the 800XL ( Jeff Thiele Design ), using this as a basis I designed one specifically for the XE models. Like the 800XL version, it only uses the one PCB mount screw to hold it in place, it also has a very small bump to locate it into the RF sheild PCB through hole and to hold it square. Being offset means you can still unscrew it from the main XE PCB with out having to unmount the U1MB from the Mount. I have uploaded the STL to Thingiverse for those wanting to print their own. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6009020 Enjoy

Finally completed my 65XE Remake, made some additions, these include: U1MB with new mounting bracket SDrive-Simple-II TK-II-STEREO Blue LED Power Light and Clear Diffuser New Black and Silver badge This is a project I really enjoyed building, very impressed with the results. Sourcing components was fun, and really tried to keep with all new parts were possible. The parts that came from a donor system was the Case, Keyboard, Main Chipset ICs, Pal Crystals and the Cartridge / ECI Port. I did get new versions of the Edge Connectors, but I preferred the one-piece Connector that was on the original Motherboard. Stereo output was connected from the TK-II to two headers C7 and C6 at Video Setup, so left and right sound is now outputed on pins 6 and 7 of the 8 pin din. For this set up, I am using the S Video output, it does look good. The original 65XE Keyboard Membrane was found to have bad traces through the Reset, Option and Select lines, so I swapped it with my XEGS keyboard membrane, and it now works perfect and my XEGS does not know any difference U1MB was mounted using my designed bracket. The Red Power LED was very easy to swap out with a Blue version, only to find the Red Power Indicator Diffuser had to be replaced. As there was no clear ones ever designed or copied etc, I 3D designed one and printed in clear PETG, due to the layers made during the printing process, it really helps with the diffusing of the blue light, my camera does not show the real effect. I wanted a new Badge, to replace the existing badge, I had previously got from eBay before and never really liked the finish, so I designed my own and I must admit the Black with Silver looks nice. I think going forward this XE will be used more than my other Atari 8 Bit systems. Into my retro corner it goes I cannot wait for the XL version with the same or more features as the 65XE remake to arrive.

Hello guys! I need your help Atari 800, ATARI 800XL/600XL owners! If you guys own a caliber I urgently need to know which size in millimeters (or even better in keycaps unit 1U) the following keys: ATARI 800: - CONTROL key (to my measurements using pictures found on internet) 1.5U - LSHIFT key 1.75U as well as the RSHIFT - FUNCTION KEYS (Select, Start...) 1.5U - CLR SET TAB key 1.5U - RETURN key 1.5U ATARI 800XL - CONTROL key 2.0U - LSHIFT key 2.25U - RSHIFT key 2.0U - CAPS LOWR key 1.25U - RETURN key 1.75U - ESC key 1.25U - FUNCTION KEYS are spaced as 1U keysize. The only correct keyboard I can check is the Atari 130XE style... In attachment the PDF layouts of those keycaps (used by MaxKeyboard) and the keysize in keycap units. Please help me, Gianluca atari-800-xl-style-maxkeyboard.pdf atari-xe-style-maxkeyboard.pdf

According to the Atari Museum, the 800XE wasn't such a great machine. To put it more bluntly, it sounds like it's the mongrel/bastard of an already cheapened 8-bit line. Atari Museum quote: "The Atari 800XE was the last of the XE line of computer systems. Having said this it would be assumed that such a system would be the most reliable and well designed system. However the 800XE turned out to be more of exercise of simply using up existing spare parts and dumping them onto the European market. The 800XE is plagued with timing issues, incompatibilities and poor reliability since its chipsets are a mis-match of various revision levels and some of the semiconductor components were not within spec or were poor quality components which failed to meet their own spec's. While the 800XE was produced in small numbers and in the European market, it may be a nice item to add to a collection, but a 130XE is a better choice to actually use in a productive manner." I'm interested in hearing from 800XE owners as to their personal experiences with these machines, if they mirror what's said about them in the Atari Museum quote. Are they really this bad? If they are, how much work is necessary to get one into satisfactory condition?

I started similar topic on Polish Atari Area. http://www.atari.org.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?id=13760 I have crazy idea. What about STM32 cartridge. It will make faster only some of CPU instructions so Atari will stays Atari. For demos or to have hundred sprites on screen...? Why STM32? Its cheaper than ATMEL and more common than PIC. It is 32bit... Bigger EEPROM, RAM in MCU. There will be no new graphics, no new sound. Only massive CPU upgrade but only for some instructions. For example 256 sprites, fast 3d or vector, game with 128 sprites and sample playback on pokey (as you know MOD on Pokey eats CPU). Or I can image pictures in lot of colors (multiple pages switching). So they will be not blinking... I know there is Veronica. It is beautiful but price of 65816 is higher than STM32 (few cents max to 10 dollars). I know there is very nice Tomek8 but as I wrote PIC is not so powerful as same priced STM32... And as bonus you can get STM32 in huge quantities... I somewhere read something exactly same exists for ColecoVision or 2600... For example 6502 emulator on STM32: GITHUB https://github.com/BigEd/a6502 "On that dev board, the CPU runs at 168MHz and the emulated speed of the 6502 is 18MHz." Thats almost 10x+ faster as original Atari. And there is also 180MHz model STM32... Price is 10Euro... for STM32F407VGT6: 32 Bit Microcontroller, Ethernet MAC, Camera Interface, ARM Cortex-M4, 168 MHz, 1 MB, 196 KB, 100 Maybe we can have Ethernet too on that cartridge for multiplayer games. I can imagine NUMEN engine shooter and LANPARTY! like QUAKE! Or DUNE2 / Settlers 2 game !!! Multiplayer / online... This will adds new dimension to our ATARIs... Playing games together. New speed for CPU. Lot of sprites, pokey sample playback etc etc... So it will be turbocard but also will accelerate graphics and sound. Plus online multiplayer gaming or local LAN party as bonus. Bad or good idea? Lets brainstorm this. I can imagine games in hires with huge sprites. Or 160x200 games with ultra fast scrolling (space shooter) for example. Or vector game with samples. Or 3D demo looking almost like from Amiga 500... When price of cartridge will be 20-30Euro. Everyone will be able to buy it.

Buenas, acabo de encontrarme por casualidad con un atari 65xe pero la pantalla se queda en negro, enciende solo el led. No tiene fuente de alimentación pero la he alimentado directamente con 5 voltios y un mínimo de 1a y un máximo de 2a estabilizados. Solo he logrado que el xc12 tire a rebobinar y adelantar la cinta. En principio tenía los precintos intactos, no tiene nada de oxido en placa, solo un poco en la placa exterior, todas las soldaduras parecen buenas, ninguna pobre, he limpiado toda la placa, la temperatura de la ram es común a todas, todos los condensadores no parecen estar mal aunque ya tengo preparado para sustituirlos, lo único que he podido ver sospechoso es un diodo zener que me da valor en placa en los 2 sentidos IMAGEN ZENER y este zener soldado en este integrado y a la resistencia, tiene un color un poco raro. ZENER SOLDADO ¿Sabéis que valor tiene el zener dudoso? ¿Es normal el otro diodo? ¿Alguna sugerencia? Gracias de antemano

hola a todos, muy buen foro. tengo una atari 65xe que me han regalado, siempre quise una cuando yo era pequeño, pero eran muy caras. al encender se ilumina el led, y el tv me muestra que esta entregando una señal en ntsc, pero se queda en negro, aveces aparecen rayas verdosa o amarillas (solo basura),nunca aparece el fondo azul o "ready". no tiene sonido alguno. no puedo ingresar al self test, no puedo hacer nada. -probé con la fuente original (5V. 1,5A) -probé con una fuente automática (5v, 3A) -conectado a la TV por RF. -conectado a la TV por vídeo compuesto. -sin teclado. -con teclado. -la casettera no trabaja (start + option)(esta buena) no tengo cartuchos para probar probé todos los diodos y están buenos. alguna ayuda para reparar esta querida consola se los agradecería del fondo de mi corazón. help please thanks

I got a PAL 65XE with a 130XE motherboard with 4-bit-RAM, i.e. two empty RAM positions. Sorry if this has already been posted here but I can't seem to find instructions on how to upgrade this to 130XE standard (or 256K). Any pointers? Thanks!

Hi folks I recently recovered an old 65XE from the loft, and with the addition of a SIO2PC connected have been rediscovering the fun I used to have with it 15 years ago. I then came across AtariAge by chance, and am fascinated by all the things that you get up to with yours! Having been bitten by the bug, I couldn't resist adding an Atari 800 to the collection (unfortunately it's afflicted with the "red screen of death" so I need to work out how to fix that with my next to non-existent electronics skills, but that's for a separate discussion...). However, on reading through this forum I notice that there's a lot of love for the 800XL - which makes me wonder whether I'm missing out by not having one of these creatures too. On the one hand I appreciate that it's just the 65XE in a different case, but on the other hand it seems to get thumbs up for better build quality and expandability - although if I've understood correctly, the PAL versions tend not to have socketed chips, which makes them no easier to work on than the XE - is that right? Is there much use for the PBI that comes on the XL? (Incidentally, my XE has an ECI port, which I gather is unusual for a 65 - or maybe that's just a US vs UK thing too?) Maybe it just boils down to whether I have spare money to blow on eBay and space in my living room for another machine? Your thoughts??
