The Usotsuki Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I was trying to come up with a Perifractic-style PCBWay joke but I'm just not clever enough. But that's a good one. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 You know we're never going to actually get this thing, right? We still haven't even started the beta testing hell the Concerto got stuck in. A month has become two years, so far. Almost done for two years. It’s starting to feel like an Andy Kaufman prank. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you tring to make someone sell the Xm to someone else then buy it back from them later again? 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close, you are 41Y older now and a lot less .... naive (for lack of better words). Also why 1978? I guess that's when you got your 2600 but I fail to connect the dots with the XM for the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That is when I got my 2600. Be positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XM Bus Bridge PCBs have arrived. Now I'm just waiting for the XM boards to arrive next. I decided the production boards are all going to be done in 7800 Purple, I think they look nice. So did the XM boards show up yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 These are truly beautiful !!! Okay, First batches going to: @PacManPlus @tep392 @Mitch @RevEng and of Course Mark over in the UK... This'll give some key people a chance to start coding on the real hardware and go deeper into compatibility testing as well, just to be certain. Mark is finishing up the End User version of the built in BIOS and feature selection settings and some other things. I'll get to work getting the 2nd batch of boards ready and start preparing emails to the 1st pre-order people... 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 When you do have the next batch ready can you always post who it is going out to in this topic just like you did with the fantastic four? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that would be a great idea, then people will see who's receiving theirs and know theirs are on the way and it lets every know whats happening. Thanks Jinks! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t checked up in a long time, but I guess I picked the right time to take a look at this thread again. Can’t wait! I just pasted my order number and other info from original confirmation email onto the preorder confirmation website.

Curt Vendel Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Booting up of the 1st production shipping 7800XM, has the basic functionality on it just to show it booting and working in both 2600 and 7800 mode. This particular one is going to PacManPlus (Bob) and another to Perry Thuente next week and the other 3 are going to Mitch Orman, RevEng and Mark Ball so that they can start developing games for the XM and also to heavily stress test them. These I'm just hand building to make sure everything is good before I move to mass building. But lo and behold, the shipments are starting. As I ship (as Jinx suggested) I'll post up who's orders are shipping out, please don't start PM'ing me asking when yours is going out, I'll be contacting everyone, so when I contact you, yours is shipping.

Curt Vendel Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 FYI... the video is just to show that the new 100 pin PLD code is working correctly and the XM is booting up. The units shipping out this coming week will be fully populated and fully function, just so anyone who might be confused understands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I remember reading about the original boxes for these won't come with the xm. I was thinking that it would still be neat to get the box just for the ones who have been on the preorder list. I fear that getting a new box made could take years to get done if at all. Unless you already have something cooked up. Just my 2 cents. Really excited to see this getting done, looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 only if you preordered and need to update your address. Don't use this form if you are trying to order. http://7800xm.com/preorder.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pre-ordered 7800xm.com These first 5 are going to developers, will start shipping out units to everyone else in batches of 10-20 at a time, you'll be contacted before hand for final shipping verification, names will be listed of who's units are shipping in each batch posted here and on the 7800 expansion module group on FB as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
