Hi, Lynxman and all the Atari fans in this forum!!

I'm very interested in your flash card, since I was willing to do one my self.

You use a USB to RS232 converter to transfer roms and firmware to a flash using a microcontroller (ex: Atmel or Microchip). My idea involves a microcontroller from Microchip but reads a Lynx rom file from a USB pen and transfers it to a flash.

My big problem is the lynx rom read sequence. (I don’t know about lynx programming :( ).

Bottom line I give you my congratulations for this great achievement!!! ;)

I will PM you to order one.

Thanks!

First flash cards have been sold this week-end at the AC show in France.
And lucky buyers who were still here at the end of the show got a special beta on their card.
But do not worry, il will be available for all. More to come very soon ;)

Walter,
He hasn't started selling them yet, or taking money.

So, there is still time. :D He's a good chap; I'm sure he'll put you on the list.

Cheers,
Smeg

Walter, you may have missed Lynxman´s post where he announced the availability of the FlashCard:

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=1690685

Simply contact him and have him put you on the preordering list. It´s as simple as that...

Hello all,

it is unbeleavable, but i need again to shift a little bit.

My printer needs a new printhead.

The Cover is ready for printing.

The Manual needs now to be translated to english. This should be done in less than 1 week.

I need to check the shipping cost outside EU.

Kind Regards

Lynxman

I'm cool with that!

(Damn... I'm putting a lot of cash into The Lynx nowadays).

I've got to make a trip to Oklahoma in a few weeks... and will be making a purchase for someone (Carl).
Hopefully you don't catch me with my wallet empty! LOL
