vectormatt Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi there everybody, I'm looking for an Atari 5200 32k rom pcb that I can use an eprom with such as a 27256. I was corresponding with AtariAge for a while they said they had some, but suddenly they don't respond back anymore. Not sure why. Does anyone know where I can get one or two of these? I'm also looking for a bare bones eprom board for the Lynx. I bought a diagnostic cart on ebay and I've since loaded other games, but I don't want to pay that much to get a second one. AtariAge said they may have one of these as well, but stopped responding. Thanks! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82atari5200 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I was hoping to get a couple more myself. Last time I asked Albert said he had some but I haven't tried to buy any lately. I thought they were working on a new type of single game flash cart. Probably just have to break down and get the multicart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectormatt Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I actually do have the Atarimax flash cart, but somehow I bricked it while flashing the firmware one too many times while troubleshooting some boards using the Atari 5200 Zero RAM DRAM Test. It wasn't a problem with the firmware though, I think it was probably due to the flakey power switch which most likely corrupted the firmware during the transfer. Atarimax was *very* kind enough to exchange it for a working one. So I would prefer to run the diagnostics from a normal 32k rom and not take any more chances.

Its a little more work but there is info out there to turn a regular board into an eprom board.. Ive never made on though. Ive made nes repros that way but never a 5200 Best Electronics sells test carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 My 5200 board will take anything from 32K to 512K. More info here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/69649-5200-game-announcement-now-shipping/page__view__findpost__p__856153 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
