+Stephen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sorry for starting a new thread, but the personal message and the other threads are very hard to search for just installation information. Here's my progress for this evening. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venom4728a Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looks good! I like how you routed the ribbon cable and wires and left the plastic intact. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert That was the plan - so far everything fits without being pinched. I hope to finish and test tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 That's a clean looking installation Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox-1 / mnx Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Here's my progress for this evening. Don't post things like that. Have no real use for the Incognito right now but the eye candy makes me want to have one anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Fox-1 wrote it, and I thought it...... I have two Atari 800's... one NTSC, one PAL... I really adore these machines... That incognito board is fabulous! So that makes a great combi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 UPDATE: When I initially tried this, I only got a green screen. The machine runs fine when put back to original configuration. I double checked all my wiring and cable continuity. I was told that maybe the Xilinx needed reprogrammed. I got my cable ends in today, so wired up a cable for my 100RandomTasks programmer. Dumped the contents, and reprogrammed it with the May 11 firmware update. Still booting to a green screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 OK - I got the Incognito working this evening There was a bad solder joint on U12. Fixed that, and everything appears to be working OK. Here's a few pics showing it working. 1024kB RAM Ice-T XE on an 800? Testing speed of SIDE (bottom is with screen DMA off) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks for the pictures, I see that wire colors are different on yours, and the one for the jumper on the bottom of the board was easy to find. the cpu board was not shown at all except for your pictures. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St(r)yker Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 on the photo, you have wires 3 and 4 swapped (mistake that candle made early when installed prototype board) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari8warez Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) @Stephen Is there any more use for the remaining card slots on the 800? I don't own a 800 but IIRC those are used for RAM cards and CPU etc.., right? Edited September 2, 2012 by atari8warez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 @Stephen Is there any more use for the remaining card slots on the 800? I don't own a 800 but IIRC those are used for RAM cards and CPU etc.., right? There are the 2 80 column boards, Austen-Franklin and Bit3, that work in the last RAM slot.

+Stephen Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 @Stephen Is there any more use for the remaining card slots on the 800? I don't own a 800 but IIRC those are used for RAM cards and CPU etc.., right? As Bill said - the 80 column cards. I would love to have them, but they are quite rare. With the Incognito installed, I can't think of a reason to use the other slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari8warez Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I asked the question because I see that the cable header blocks the next slot, so I thought that's maybe the other slots are no good for anything else and just wanted to confirm that. Thanks guys for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Simple question: is it yet possible to upgrade the Incognito to the latest ROM (with in-built XEX/ATR loader) via an ATR flasher (i.e. without a PLCC programmer)? I don't want to seem disingenuous, but I've been out of the Incognito party for a while since I burned my board out. I have someone here with no XEX loader in his machine and in need of a way to put it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Sorry to hear you lost your incognito, it was just a couple weeks ago you finished the power board led/switch. When candle had the update flash for cartridge it was an XEX. And rdea6 had his reprogramed with PLCC programer. If you had the complete rom as an ATR it might be able too. But on that note I would wait to hear from candle. Iam 100% using my 800 now, and would not be happy to lose incognito .... Main thing I was going to ask, How did you short your board ? ?

Nothing by me yet, I'm still sorting through the souces I have from Sebastian and the Sic! flasher (again!)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Main thing I was going to ask, How did you short your board ? ? Unlucky experimental wiring about a month ago: must have put some volts throught the button terminal when wiring up the switch. That's what you get for being on the bleeding edge... Nothing by me yet, I'm still sorting through the souces I have from Sebastian and the Sic! flasher (again!)... Right: I got some clarification and the issue is ATRs booting but the machine resetting when the game's loaded. Not sure whether it's a usage issue or a bug yet: hopefully a ROM update won't prove necessary. Thanks in advance Jay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
