flashjazzcat Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Excellent work. I'm starting to get the 800 bug... Edited February 21, 2012 by flashjazzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I know what you mean. Since Candle started work on this project, I've been trying to rationalize buying an 800. (If only I hadn't gotten rid of the ones I had back in the 90s...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Heh... you can rationalize anything if you work on it enough. I've managed to rationalize having six or seven CRT monitors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Looks like I had better get my 800s unboxed, cleaned up, and create a workspace this weekend. I'll soon need more monitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Heh... you can rationalize anything if you work on it enough. I've managed to rationalize having six or seven CRT monitors! I thought you were using only LCD monitors, based on the recent threads. I'm surprised to know you have many CRTs. Back on topic -- I'll have to wait a bit on the 800, as I have a (hopefully nice) third 1200XL coming my way. It would go badly for me if I buy another A8 too soon.

Yeah - I was really into LCDs for a long while, but once I started picking up CRTs it got out of control. It's part of my paranoia about things breaking down in a world without spare parts. I have enough monitors now, though! Edited February 21, 2012 by flashjazzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Candle, you are one talented guy.... I'm actually shocked at how many there are working on our old atari's! Wish you could all get together and build a new "Re-tari" for kicks with FJC on the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yeah - I was really into LCDs for a long while, but once I started picking up CRTs it got out of control. It's part of my paranoia about things breaking down in a world without spare parts. I have enough monitors now, though! I've been piling CRTs in the closets for a while now, too. For the old game systems and the old computers, I just don't think it looks better, and sometimes it just doesn't scale "correctly" and looks weird to me. There will be a time in the future when CRTs will really be hard ($$$/£££) to come by, the rate at which they're being junked today. People at apartment buildings are just abandoning them when they leave. I've seen some nice ones sitting outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faicuai Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 this is all i could do today in the evening, i'll order remaining parts for all units, and if mr mailman allows, i'll have them ready till friday SICK (!!!) Mouth-watering, to say the least... I do hope, however, we do not end up with a cabling-spaghetti or "ghettoing" the machine, though... I don't really mind the installation process, as long as it can end-up relatively clean and well engineered. Looking forward to the MOTHER of all upgrades, F.H.

venom4728a Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I like the name ALTari (Alternate Atari) for a new retro Atari with updated OS!! My USB Programmer arrived today so, I am good to go, I think. the connector on the incognito pcb looks like I have one that will fit it correctly. Not sure if they are normally wired the same or not?

fibrewire Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 i'm pretty sure there will be a header that disconnects from the board in the ram area that can be tucked away for "regular" Atari 800 operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just make sure I'm one of the first to get one when the final product comes out since I was scratched from the beta tester list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
