jacobus Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Found a nice old 400 with 16 K and what looks like this 400 composite mod. Original 16K and the multi-colour Inhome keyboard upgrade! Filthy dirty of course, but a little time in the spa cleaned it up nicely. I was really excited that it might be a CTIA machine, but although it might have been initially, it was upgraded to GTIA. Another interesting feature is the date stamp on the bottom of the case (April 1981) I've only seen this stamp on 800's previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used a joystick when I played it on our 800XL. Thought it would be interesting to see what the keypad was all about, even if it's not for the 8bit machines. I really just wanted the cartridge. Edited October 31, 2010 by My600XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAtarian Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Got a box lot of 5200 "junk" but as it turned out only one of the 5200's was junk. I think the power pin must have been dirty or something because after plugging and unplugging the power supply a few times it came back to life. I have it sitting next to my four port with the VCS adapter in it. The lot also came with 5 sticks, 3 are totally wasted and two partially work, one to the point where a few games are actually playable with it, so now I have some spares to send in for rebuilding by Best. It also came with a Pac Man cartridge. It was only $43 for the whole lot including shipping but one of the power supplies it came with was for some other piece of Atari equipment, which I recognized right off so I didn't use it. That's probably why the one that still doesn't work is non-functional. Someone used the wrong PSU and shorted something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed they were for the 2600, if it turns out they work on 8 bit I'm going to kick myself as I sold one three months ago that I had with a 2600 cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchennau Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I picked up a 600XL loose with three games, joystick and a power supply with the Atari Logo (power supply #6 I believe). 600xl with stuff: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330489398474 B & C seem to think that th e#6 is not a good choice for memory upgrades? I'm thinking of adding the 600XL 64k upgrade. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) B & C seem to think that th e#6 is not a good choice for memory upgrades? I'm thinking of adding the 600XL 64k upgrade. Thoughts? I believe that version is 1.0A. 600xl and 800xl came with 1.5A power supplies. Since that PS came with XEGS, it is probably barely enough for the 600xl. I have seen funny things when too current gets drawn from PS that was not rated for the device. If things do not behave normally, I would replace the PS with a higher rated one.

I would only upgrade if you are going to start hanging things off the PBI, or doing higher upgrades internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Very nice condition Indus GT - FINALLY. I've been wanting one since '85 I paid some douchebag on IRC (edward1469@mac.com for anyone who may come across him - stay away. I'm not the only Atari user that has been ripped off) $75 back in July and never got the drive. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this transaction goes better.

Congrats on the Indus - I had four of them back in the day, I was the king! Ran a BBS with those puppies, definitely the sexiest floppy drive ever made...
