Maury Markowitz Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 My recent article on the 410 seems to have attracted some attention so I expect it will be front-page on the Wiki shortly. This inspired me to flesh out the coverage with articles on the 810, 1050 and XF551. The wiki commons has reasonable good images of the first two, but none for the 551. If anyone out there has one, would you consider donating a few images to the commons? While I'm here, check out this image of a 810: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TCMI_Atari810_front.jpg Anyone have any clue what mod was applied? That switch is mighty interesting...

Maury Markowitz Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thanks video... my bad, I should have been more specific. I'd like a "angle shot" sort of like this one of the 1050: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TCMI_Atari810_front.jpg or this one of the 1050: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atari_1050_disk_drive_A.jpg Don't worry about the background, the guys on the commons will do all the touchup needed.

Maury Markowitz Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Yeah, I'm still looking for the "glamor shots" before I add them. I'm staging the 810 article at the same link now if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geister Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I made a small edit on the replacement section, changing the word "will" to "with". The sentence about design language now reads as intended. This is what a Document Control guy does on his day off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Markowitz Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 xrbrevin, any chance you might consider making individual images and uploading them to the wiki commons? There's generally not nearly enough Atari imagery, and things like this are precisely what it most needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
