sale postponed - sorry, personal issues cropped up.

This keyboard had a problem where the 7 key would continually act like it was being pressed. The only way to stop it was to actually press the 7 key. I fixed it by replacing the keyboard. This piece is in great shape and the 800xl it came out of was virtually unused. Looking to get $5 plus shipping for it... I'm sure that it can be easily repaired. Please ask if you have any questions. Thank you

Let's get crazy. I'm looking for either an Atari 8-Bit (800XL or XE models prefered, including XEGS), or a Commodore 64. The problem is that I'm a college student, so I'm dead broke and don't have a lot of money to spend even with my NEW job, and yes I'm saving up for more important things. I got interested in the Atari 8-Bits because of the Antic Podcast, Inverse Atascii podcast, and Player/Missle podcast. I asked around and a lot of people thought that the XL and XE series would be the best way for me to hop into the world of Atari 8-Bits. Of course, there is everyone else who have fond memories of their C64. Since there is a lot of support out there for the Commodore, I figured this would be another way to get into the vast world of Commodore. There are just a few things I ask for though: The machines must be in NTSC, Power brick, and video cables are included, And if possible, if there is a way of testing one to see if it works before sending it. I ask for one to be sold for a maximum of $50, but in reality, I would pay a maximum of $75. I would just need a few minutes to cry into my pillow. Is there anyone willing to help a poor college kid out?

Sifting the heap of aged floppy disks has turned up an interesting pile of ... shtuff. Machine language routines can be a big help to Atari BASIC/BASIC XL programs boosting performance and providing nifty features not included by BASIC. That is, provided the machine language routine can be brought into the BASIC program. In this case the Atari BASIC language can be like an island fortress repelling all invading data, because the language makes it inconvenient to get a machine language routine into a safe place usable by the BASIC progam. Convenience for BASIC means representing the machine language routine as either DATA statements to be READ and POKE'd into memory, or as string assignments. However, assembler output -- the machine language bytes -- does not come in a convenient format for BASIC. A machine language program is usually stored in Atari's segmented load file format. This is binary information including structure which embeds starting and ending addresses for blocks of memory data. While the segmented file is clever and is the standard format for Atari machine language programs loaded and run from DOS, neither Atari BASIC nor BASIC XL have a facility to easily load the segmented file formats into memory. A user could choose the DOS load option to load machine language utilities into memory, but this requires extra work on the part of users (who may be famous for forgetting to tie their shoe laces), and requires more thought and planning to design the machine language program to load into a location that will not be overwritten by the BASIC program when it loads and runs. BASIC XL does have the BGET command which can load an arbitrary amount of binary data from a file into any specified location of memory. The problem here is that this does exactly that -- it just loads data directly into memory. It does not understand the segmented file format. The BGET function is useful only if a machine language file is stripped of its segment information which is not smart to do if the file does not describe one contiguous block of memory. So, how to easily get a file of machine language data turned into something useful for BASIC namely, DATA statements or string assignments? Here is a BASIC XL program, BIN2DATA.BXL that processes binary/machine language file into more convenient data for OSS BASIC XL. BIN2DATA.zip What it does: Accepts the input file name containing machine language or other binary data Accepts the output file which will contain BASIC code that can be ENTER'd into BASIC XL and lightly modified for use. Allows the user to choose to load the segmented file into the memory specified by the file. Note that while this can load multiple segments it is intended for simple routines. Multiple segments will be consolidated into one range from the minimum/starting address to the maximum/ending address. Allows the user to choose to load the file directly into memory without reading any segment addresses. In this case the user will be prompted to specify a starting address for loading the data. Accepts the user's choice of output as DATA statements or string assignments. In the case of DATA statements the user can choose if the data will be in Hex or Decimal. The user may choose (within reason) the minimum and maximum number of values that will be output in a single line. The user may choose the starting line number and line increment. The program prints the BASIC statements to the screen and the output file at the same time providing the user visual feedback of the file output. Note that for the string representation there are two binary values that cannot be directly expressed in the string. The first is $02 which is the internal code for the the double quote character (ATASCII 34). The other is value $DB which is the internal code for the end of line character (ATASCII 155). The program substitutes a blank space for both of these values and remembers the position of the data in the string. After writing the string assignments the program will then output DATA statements listing the position of the problem characters within the string. This is expressed using BASIC's string position assignment values where the first character is position (1), not (0). It is up to the programmer to utilize the list to correctly update the data in the string. Here are a few, lovely pictures of the program in operation: Input entry of a program to output as a string: Here is the actual string output. This program has an embedded double quote character (binary $02) at position 8 in the string. Input entry of a program to output as Data: Here is the resulting output: The Good The Bad And the Ugly... The input handling is merely fairly decent, and not completely bullet resistant. When it asks for input from the user it pretty much needs actual input. Hitting RETURN by itself is a reliable way to break the program. The output is designed to fit the wider range of possibilities that BASIC XL permits. Using the program's output for regular Atari BASIC requires some tweaks: the command statements need to be changed to all upper case (i.e. "DATA" not "Data"), and the Hex format for Data statements cannot be used. The quotes and end of line position lists are always generated in hexadecimal. (Oops. Well, BASIC XL, you know.) The program has a lot of comments which could free up a lot of space when deleted. There are certainly redundant things going on in the code which could be optimized, and probably stupid, ugly misuse of TRAP. (So, you have fun with that, OK? Let me know how it goes.)

Should a BASIC program reference APPMHI ($0E/$0F), or MEMTOP ($90/$91) to determine the end of the memory used by the BASIC program? Or does it not really matter? Some peeking around shows they have the same value in all the situations tested so far. Is there a circumstance where they would not be the same? Oddly, the description of each location in Mapping The Atari does not mention the alternate location, though they seem to be doing the same thing. My theory here is that APPMHI is specific for the OS, and works to limit OS functions (allocating screen memory) for any program, not just the BASIC cart. And MEMTOP is specific to BASIC and redundantly tracks the same value.

Item is sold. I am offering a duplicate boxed Atari PAL XEGS. The system is boxed with complete styrofoam inserts but the cardboard is a bit tattered and the lid is loose. You won't be able to restore this to "mint from shop" condition but all the box art is well readable. Included are: Main unit Keyboard (see note below) Lightgun Flight Simulator II & Bug Hunt carts PSU (220V, Euro plug) RF cable NOT included: manual(s) XEGS Joystick It's seems to be a German system not having been tampered with as the German "opening voids warranty" stickers on both keyboard and main unit are still complete. The keyboard is standard QWERTY anyhow. There is no perceptible yellowing on all components. I have tested the system with an LCD TV using composite video. Missile Command, Bug Hunt and FSII work, as does the internal self test. I have tested the joystick port with another joystick and found it OK, too. NOTE: the keyboard needs servicing as about 2/3s of keys do not register correctly. I assume this to be the keyboard mylar (which is available from BEST, as are new keyboards) but lack the time to try repairs now - will have to try if it doesn't sell - the keyboard self test works perfectly with my other XEGS keyboard. Asking EUR 80 / USD 90 plus shipping for complete system, will consider offers. Accepting PayPal or SEPA bank transfer. Will ship worldwide from Vienna at postal rates in protective outer box.
