Tracked, insured. 8-15 workdays POLISH MAIL PARCEL (where available) up to 20kg (Poczta Polska) - Very reasonable, tracking numbers works, takes some time, but it is safe and insured. 8-40 work days UPS - most expensive, most reliable. 100% sure. Delivery takes 3-7 workdays worldwide EMS – another international courier service - in some situations cheaper than UPS, also very reliable.

Next time I'll order with my eyes wide open . It is maybe 15 bucks, instead of a whole buncha money. I went that way with my other orders and it worked out well. My house is not in an area where package stealing is common. On the main thoroughfares it is, because the thief has a quick getaway.

I live in stand-your-ground territory where it's legal to shoot trespasser's dead, and though I don't own a gun, I have 'no trespassing, private property' and 'We don't call the police, we call Smith&Wesson' signs on the perimeter of my land. This is generally enough to give the bad guys pause, if any ever show up way out here. Response times by the police is usually about half an hour out here, so one has to protect themselves as the police would arrive far too late anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymanone Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi folks, I received my Incognito´s from Lotharek last friday ?, so I´ve tried yesterday to install it. But I faced a couple of issues... After some small hurdles, I can register now also a partial success ?. Here briefly to the little problems & their solution: Problem number 1: The cable used in the documentary and in the howto video (FJC) does not match the one currently delivered from Lotharek! Currently stuffed with white connector (instead of a black connector) is delivered and: the cable colors doesn´t match (!), so be careful while installing! Here for you briefly the affiliation of the colors: "Description" vs "delivered", seen from the outside (PCB edge) to the inside (see also on the photos) 1. yellow -> black 2. red -> red 3. black -> white 4. blue -> yellow 5. white -> orange 6. green -> green Problem number two: My CPU board does not match the one in the description. My 800´er has the ANTIC: a) rightmost at the edge and b) "the other way round", i.e. pin 1 is located at the bottom of the board (not at the top, as in the documentation) I have taken all this into account and adjusted it, the two 670 Ohm pulldown resistors have also been replaced by 2k Ohm resistors (see pictures). After switching on the 800, he also starts ?, initializes the realtime clock and boots into the Icognito Sparta DOS . However, I have no way to get into the "Incognito Menu" ?. It is also not shown while booting, but the computer boots immediately into the Spartados.... Does anyone have an idea, what could be the reason ? ? Thanks for any hints... Here some pictures: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's half-expected; the cable Lotharek supplies is probably an off-the-shelf part which pays no heed to the colouring system depicted in Candle's installation guide (of which my video is a fairly faithful representation). I am yet to have my hands on an Incognito as supplied by Lotharek, and was not advised that the wires would be different colours, nor what those colours would be. Lotharek seems happy to link my video at the bottom of the product page, however, and if you watch the video, you'll notice that the directions include pin numbers and signal names as well as colours, so hopefully anyone capable of counting should be able to figure out the wiring. I would consider this a minor inconvenience rather than a "problem", since I imagine the pin assignments and signal names have not changed. 19 minutes ago, andymanone said: My CPU board does not match the one in the description. Again: an inconvenience, and not insurmountable. 19 minutes ago, andymanone said: However, I have no way to get into the "Incognito Menu" Try pressing the reverse video key (the Fuji logo). My firmware has a boot screen which tells you what to press, so I can only assume you're running the original firmware.

andymanone Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi, FJC, Thanks for the fast feedback ?! I hope you didn't misunderstand me ?. Of course I didn't want to criticize you and your good work! If you saw it that way, I apologize for it. I just wanted to point out in the forum, that there are some differences and not every user is a hardware specialist ?. @Incognito menu: yes, you are right, I´ve run the original firmware at the moment. I´m just far from my 800, but whenn I´m back Ill try it with asap with the FUJI key ? Thanks for your help, Gtx., andY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw it that way, I apologize for it. Not at all... I'm just a little exasperated the one variable which could change and cause a moment's confusion did change and I had to hear this from an end user. I should have expected it. But your post is really useful and I'll add a note under the video explaining the colour mappings on Lotharek's cable. Thanks! 8 minutes ago, andymanone said: I just wanted to point out in the forum, that there are some differences and not every user is a hardware specialist Exactly so: I know this will throw some people and I emailed Lotharek about it immediately after I replied to your post. OK: Have added a pinned comment under the video which I'm sure only fifty per cent of viewers will complain is not there.

Gunstar Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) I was just checking the tracking on my package; apparently it takes DAYS to make it's way through the NYC distribution center as it still shows as being in limbo there...unless this foreign service tracking system only tracks it until it arrives in the US...and it's in route from there anyway.

Based on past experience, if you used one of the Polish Post services, I’m pretty sure you can put the Polish Post tracking number into the USPS site and get domestic tracking. However, it is also quite common for the package to be parked in the receiving station in the US for several days waiting for Customs clearance. On a tangentially-related note, my tracking status now says my box was “processed through” the Warsaw facility this morning. I think this indicates it’s going onto a plane with other mail to the US. I expect I’ll see some update from a US-based receiving station tomorrow or Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked with USPS and it does say it was processed through the NYC processing center and is in transit, so it is probably on it's way to the regional facility since it's still "in transit." Though I have had items arrive before the tracking has been updated in the past. I was checking to see if it might arrive today, but I just realized it's Sunday. I worked yesterday, so when I woke up I was thinking today was Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 While we're waiting... Survey on how one pronounces Lotharek... @flashjazzcat pronounces it loTHARek. Up until now, in my head, I've been pronouncing it lotharEK. Thoughts? Mine also says: Processed Through Facility -> Your item has been processed through our facility in ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) USPS Says it is in transit.

Gunstar Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) I had to think about it, because I hadn't thought about how I thought about pronouncing it before. But I guess I never thought about an inflection to the name anywhere. That's my final answer. I kept spelling it wrong with an "a" (Lotharak) for a while, though I've had the correct spelling down for quite some time now.
