mjsaville Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Bryan, This thread is brilliant - Put me down for 1 x 800xl Kit please - I have sent you a PM. cheers Moray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Bryan is it possible for you to upload a dxf or dwg file showing the outline of your board and the thru-holes? Reason I ask is I want to integrate your board into a project I've been working on, and having this information will make it much easier and more accurate. I would prefer the drawing's units of measure to be in inches, but if in metric I can convert. - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 According to the board house, the UAVs are ready to ship. As soon as I have confirmation I'll start taking payments. If you haven't heard from me regarding your reservation, I'll get caught up on messages later today (sorry, in the process of moving).

Bikerbob Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Bryan if you can.. are there any details on what needs to be done on the 400 to draw the audio into the pinout? I think its only a couple of wires.. in an old thread was there not someone who posted up his 400 install? James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeless Joe Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 There's a little discussion at: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/255424-atari-400-sound-mod-for-uav/?p=3562917 SIO/tape sounds seems to be the hardest part to do well. If you don't use that at all, just taking POKEY sound from R160 might be the easiest way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm back in Costa Rica and all boards have been shipped (I still need to send a couple more tracking numbers out). My trip to the US was a combination of working on some projects for my old boss, dealing with my house purchase/move to Michigan, and staying up late soldering boards. So, I'm behind on correspondence, but I'll try to answer everyone over the next couple days. Installation is the same as with Rev C, but I'll get a condensed version going here as well. As soon as I'm back in April, I'll begin work on a new universal audio buffer board. I might ask to borrow some computers I don't have in exchange for free installation of boards so I can get some really good pictures. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Mine arrived.. and are way smaller than I thought they would be. Niiice. Are these the most up to date instructions? http://atariage.com/forums/topic/246613-new-video-upgrade-coming-soon/?p=3431922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I presume it's about the same size as prior versions. Looking forward to installing it in my "daily driver" 800XL, replacing the prior Rev C that's in there now. I'll use that one in a spare machine or repurpose it for one of my 2600's.

+DrVenkman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Got my Rev D board today. Looking forward to installing it tomorrow and giving it a run. Gotta dig up the installation instructions I had stashed somewhere ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Is there any chance of still being able to order a plug-in version? (fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Got my box o' boards. Now I just need time to install them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I received mine. I was a bit nervous as I have never done any kind of solder job even remotely as "complex" as this one. Anyway. After 2 hours I has the thing installed - and it worked! The picture quality is brilliant. My PAL 800xl is now in vibrant color! I had to adjust the chroma setting on my PVM monitor just a touch to avoid it looking too dull but that was the only issue I ran into. Question: What is the pot on the board for? Thanks Bryan - you are a whiz! Best, Sarge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 For those looking to install an audio jack on the 400, this is the current solution: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/255424-atari-400-sound-mod-for-uav/ Question: What is the pot on the board for? It adjusts the time relationship between chroma and luma. For PAL, it can be left in the center position. On NTSC, it changes the artifact colors. The even/odd pixel sizing varies quite a bit on the Ataris so use the test program when adjusting it to make sure your setting doesn't cause any single pixels to be dropped out. This will tend to happen at the extreme clockwise setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevymad Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Got one of mine installed in my main 800xl. Picture looks great. Just slightly better then the Low Budget board I had in it I think. Now to decide which board goes in my 400 or spare 800xl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tf_hh Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have about 45 more boards from this run that can ship in April. I will start a 2nd reservation list for those. Count me in for 2, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Got one of mine installed in my main 800xl. Picture looks great. Just slightly better then the Low Budget board I had in it I think. Now to decide which board goes in my 400 or spare 800xl. Glad you like it. Many of the gains can be seen on a scope but won't make a huge difference in practice (analog video is quite tolerant). This upgrade is about attention to detail but sometimes simpler mods like the Super Video XL mod can get you 80-90% of the way there. I designed this because I wanted an easy way to get the best that could be derived from the TIA/GTIA's outputs with a reasonably-sized circuit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
