Falcon 030

[Sskomando]

Hello all, this is my first Falcon. I live in the USA and got this from a guy in England. I'm aware of the difference in electrical voltage. Can anyone guide me threw the process to get this system up and going here?.

1. First thing is to change out the power supply so it can be used in the US.

https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/storenew/#0030 is the power supply and you need https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/storenew/#0095 for a Falcon

 

2. Connect it to a monitor.  There are several adapters that you can get.

Here is one: https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/storenew/#0146

 

3. Turn it on. and see where you are and make decisions at that point.

But more on point, you have not given any information about the Falcon.  Does it work?  Does it get power?  Have you done any testing at all?

As an alternative location for a Falcon PSU and VGA adapter, you can buy them from here, respectively:

Congrat on first Falcon!

 

Please, can you add info about your Falcon in  chipmunk database for Atari serial numbers https://milan.kovac.cc/atari/chipmunk/

Provide him with links on how to replace the internal clock battery...

Suggest since the IDE is dual, use one for internal CF card HD and 2nd through a slot you make out the rear as an external SD. The SD card can be used to move files from modern PC to the Falcon. This is what I have and works great.
