+orpheuswaking Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ok I have two working 800XL NTSC Computers (and three dead pal 800xl's)... One of the systems I want to use as a stock 800XL and play games etc... The other is a fully socketed board and I want to use it for upgrade projects... Right now it's stock... SO... What shall I do to it? I can follow basic diagrams and solder/unsolder... What are the maximum upgrades I can do to it? Simon BTW: I haven't had the computers out for awhile.. Ten years in fact... and I am really enjoying exploring the Atari now... At the time I wasn't brave enough to try any upgrades and think this would make a great project over the next year or so...

Does anyone know anything about the wizztronics 256 upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamageX Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 that link about dual ANTIC/GTIA is interesting indeed... though it is a complicated project how about a 2nd POKEY, SIO2PC, or MyIDE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIO2PC and myIDE are cool and I would love to drop a hard drive into the casing. Not sure if I would be able to figure it all out though... there is aparently a 32 in one OS chip upgrade too... What have you guys done on your machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
