atari8warez Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) My new SIO2PC-USB v1.0 is now ready for production. This is a SIO2PC only version of my DUAL-USB device and as such does not include 10502PC functionality, but comes at a reduced price of $29 US, or about 25 Euros. For this price you get: * The SIO2PC-USB version 1.0 PCB, featuring an FTDI FT231X UART, (up to 127KBs speed with AspeQt and Hias Hi-Speed I/O patch), * Enclosed in an SIO plug, Mini USB connector at the PC end, * USB cable (2'), * I/O Leds, * A free, registered copy of ALibPc Light (Atari Librarian for PC Light) software (currently in development but all purchasers of the device is eligible retroactively), * 1 year warranty Availability is probably by Mid March depending on how fast I can get my PCB order filled. Orders will be shipped in a first-in first-out fashion, so please express your interest here and also PM me to get into the list. This may or may not be a limited edition depending on the interest it generates. Note that the exterior appearance will not be exactly the same as above. The difference will be in LED positioning and a slight protrusion of the USB port due to new design.

pfeuh Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Hello, I'm interested too. My english is not good, is it ready to use, or do I have to buy and sold some other components? Edited February 16, 2015 by pfeuh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACML Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Will it be compatible with Atarimax's APE and Pro-System software? I love the Atarimax SIO2USB. Its well made and a great interface, just an exposed PCB (i.e. no case). I like the idea of an enclosed unit inside an SIO plug.

+CharlieChaplin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Interested !! Hopefully the Euro will not lose much more in value until mid-March... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one (SIO2PC-USB v1.0) will be compatible with APE only - no 10502PC functionality - , my other device (SIO2PC/10502PC Dual-USB v3.1) is compatible with both APE and Prosystem (APE needs to use VCP drivers to work with either version of the device) Edited February 17, 2015 by atari8warez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US dollar seems to have slowed down as of late, so looks hopeful.. Canadian dollar took a heavy beating too!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be ready by mid to late March, Chinese suppliers are currently taking time-off from business due to Chinese new year, and that affects delivery times for the PCBs Edited February 17, 2015 by atari8warez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari8warez Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I am wondering if dropping the 2' USB cable from the offering and lowering the price by a dollar or two for the basic unit, and offering another option with 6' USB cable for a few dollars more is a better idea. A 2' USB cable seems only good for people who will keep their Atari near their laptop, others may want a longer cable What do you guys think?

Roydea6 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Longer is better as I am running out of 3 foot extenders.. My PC is about 4 feet from my Atari setup. So when I shift between the two Floppy emulators (APE/ASPEQT) I have some trouble with swapping cables.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Not the piece of news you were expecting but afaik a8w has been banned from AtariAge, you should try to contact him elsewhere. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/220750-in-place-ultimate-1mb-incognito-rom-editor-and-flash-tool/page-13?do=findComment&comment=3195925 Edited March 23, 2015 by phoenixdownita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) This FTDI Cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6P-FTDI-FT232RL-USB-to-Serial-adapter-module-USB-TO-TTL-RS232-Cable-F-Arduino-5v-/111241824248?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e68787f8 and this SIO Plug: http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=85 would be cheaper than Reyyan Ataergin's, (atari8warez) device, if you can solder them together, or, better yet, just buy this: http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=98 Edited March 23, 2015 by Kyle22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
