Atari 800xl 65xe spares for repair

[philburnite]

Hi everybody

 

Im new to this and any forum but Ive been interested in old computer especially Ataris since I was 5 when I got my first comodore plus 4 (great machine) since then Ive been hooked on computers and worked on and repaired nearly every 8 and 16 bit machine as I used to work at a computer repair centre. Anyway back to the reason for posting this , Ive just fixed myself two 800xl's which had ram and processor faults aswell as plenty of damaged tracks on the pcb they both work fine but I had to sacrifice a 65xe for part of its memory for both machines plus its cpu becouse I didnt hve any spares what so ever besides a bare 800xl pcb and 65xe console which has different ram and no cpu anyway . I was wondering if there is anybody out there who would be willing to do some swaps with me for parts they may need in exchange for a couple of 6502 cpu's and 4864 ram I need 8 of these , the parts ive got for swap are - a 800xl keyboard , unpopulated 800xl motherboard with turned pin sockets, 1050 disk drive mainboard populated but not working due to capacitor problems and some xl/xe custom chips if you require a perticular chip ask me and I can look for it thanks for any help you can offer me I also enjoy chatting about old games and machines so drop me a line anytime .

Wow! Hey, can this be fitted to work with other XL, XE models?

It could if you are willing to design the interface.. Thats quite a damn price to pay for one obsolete chip though.. And from the generation it's from, I'd say it most likely sounds like "tweeky" from the old Buck Rogers shows... (except without the "beebeebeebeebe" of course.)

 

ROM images from the machines it was used on could be located, if they are not readily available. There are quite a few 1400XLs and 1450XLDs in the hands of collectors, in various stages of functional completeness that atari released as "promo" models for shows, developers, large vendors, etc..

 

If documentation is available for the chip, it wouldnt be hard at all to design a "voicebox" to use it.

 

I, for one, would not be buying it at $69.00 + production costs...

Hummm, thanks MetalGuy. I wouldn't attempt it myself, and it sounds like you don't care to either....

Well, I might do it if someone paid the parts bill.. But right now, I dont have time to do anything.. Im sure beetle would love to have something like that to integrate into his "reproduction" 1450XLD..
