Havok69 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just wondering if there was a PDF out there of the 1200XL field service manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I just checked my PDF service manual folder and I do not have it. Still possible someone might though. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erazmus Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can't find a PDF of the service manual, but I did find a collection of 10 GIFs that claim to be the schematic. Anyone interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! If the manual ever turns up it may be missing the schematics, so they would be helpful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem00 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 C'mon, there must be someone out there who has a pdf of the 1200XL field service manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Noooo... keep it all in my head. Bob Really isn't much difference between the XL manuals, anyway. Just the schematic. Who needs a copy of the silkscreen? Schematic is really poor, by the way. C'mon, there must be someone out there who has a pdf of the 1200XL field service manual...

stevem00 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hey Bob! I've got a 1200 that sometimes fails to show the snazzy ATARI logo on startup. It works with a cartridge every time, but without one it usually goes into a green-tinged coma... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sounds like the MMU... Do you have any spares? Bob Hey Bob!

stevem00 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Will one from an 800XL work? On the 800XL the MMU is at U3 -- what's the location on the 1200XL? Edited September 9, 2011 by stevem00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 C'mon, there must be someone out there who has a pdf of the 1200XL field service manual... I can scan it in this weekend but it's really not that useful. I can do the 130xe as well. Still looking for the rev 2 800xl service guide.

Havok69 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 I can scan it in this weekend but it's really not that useful. That would be much appreciated. Does that have better schematics included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The schematics are tiny and visually poor. The 130xe ones are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The MMU for the 1200XL is only for a 1200XL. Last two digits are 09, sits in U14. The two ROMs at U12 and U13, and the MMU at U14 are all 1200XL specific. There are instructions for replacing them with an 800XL/600XL ROM and MMU, but that may be more work than it is worth. (requires soldering and such) I have a ton of old MMUs and ROMs, if you want me to send you some. Bob Will one from an 800XL work? On the 800XL the MMU is at U3 -- what's the location on the 1200XL?

I hope you're not talking about me - there's a difference between being polite and clueless. Still looking for the manual if anyone has it... That sobola schematic site has been there for over 10 years, and most of his schematics have some serious omissions and errors in them. You'd be much better off using the original hand-drawn schematics from the atari FSMs or the large extended schematics in Sams Computerfacts books (you can still get them in electronic form from Sam's site, or even request a printed copy for very reasonable prices)..

Hi, Did a quick google. Didn't find their website. Do you have the url? Thanks Found www.samswebsite.com but nothing listed for the 1200xl. Do you know of another source?
