+David_P Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Mine arrived today (well, yesterday, but I had to sign for it at the post office today). Now to choose one of my 800xls (RAMBO? CSS translator OS (switchable)? U1Mb? Stock?), clear some space, and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) I ordered the upgrade in order to fix my broken 600XL-based Laptop. As far as i understand it, Antonia replaces all interal memory using extsel signal. Is it correct to assume that i can remove the on-board memory 4464 chips and the 74LS158 multiplexer TTL chips when Antonia is installed? I would like to remove every unnessecary source of problems - and every not needed component that sucks energy from my batteries.

Simius Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Yes, you can. Also OS ROM and BASIC ROM. Edited June 29, 2016 by Simius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mytek Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Mine arrived yesterday. Thank you Simius. Now I just need to wait for UAV's to become available once again and then I'll start work on my 600XL. - Michael Edited June 29, 2016 by mytekcontrols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabone Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Ok, so mine arrived this week, just a board and a cable in a box. No docs, no links to an install guide or software. I'm new to the world of atari's, growing up as a Commodore user, so I don't have the chips memorized when people in the thread are talking about sally and the mmu. My Atari collection consists of the 1 130xe I'm installing this in, and I guess I need to pull out the CO14806 , and the CO661618? And on the new board , which is pin 1 for the cable? Thanks. Later, dabone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simius Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) All you need you'll find in this thread. How to install in the 130XE is shown in the first post. Configurator/flasher is here: http://drac030.krap.pl/ant.zip Description (for now in Polish): http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/Antonia_4_MB You've right. You need to remove these two IC's. Pin 1 of the ribbon cable connector is lower-left. It is easy to recognize, because the pad on the PCB is rectangular.

1050 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Got both of mine in fine shape, thanks much. Wish I had ordered enough spare time to install at least one of them now, where is that thread? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuf Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've got a 1200XL I'd like to install one in. I read this will require the XE version? Mine is NTSC. Also will the 1200/XE version work in an 800XL if I decide later to move it? If still available I'd like to purchase. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmcqueen Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'd also like this. Anyone do this on a XEGS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Hi, today i started installation of Antonia into my Laptop, in order to resurrect the machine. Keep fingers crossed, please! CPU, MMU, RAM and Multiplexer TTLs got removed now. Edited July 11, 2016 by Beetle 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Success! My laptop is working reliable, as much as i was able to test in the last hour. Every program or demo i tried works. Thanks Simius!! Edited July 12, 2016 by Beetle 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabone Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Ok, I got mine installed this evening, setup as a rambo xl. And the only problem I'm seeing is it takes a long time for ram to clear after power off. Like over a minute. So I load a game, turn off the power, wait 5 or so and turn it back on, the game is still there. Wait a little longer, and machine has garbage as the ram is partially cleared, etc. Later, dabone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I should mention I have also received mine. And in a year or maybe 4, I'll install it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentarian Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I should mention I have also received mine. And in a year or maybe 4, I'll install it too.Give it a try! It took longer for me to remove the shielding than to install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabone Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Is anyone else having my issue of the ram not clearing with a power cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanny Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I installed mine today and it works great! Is anyone else having my issue of the ram not clearing with a power cycle? I saw an issue, I didn't check it more, it's already late over here. I had booted into BASIC and wanted to enter the self test. So I turned the computer off, waited 2 to 3 seconds, and turned it back on again, while holding "option". But I was in BASIC again. Turned it off longer (don't remember, 10 to 15 secs), and then the "option" key worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabone Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hey Simius, is it normal for the ram not to be cleared on a cold boot, or have I done something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
