BTW, if you look at the mainboard for an A1200, the traces and pinout for an FPU is present. Now if this works or is just an artifact from an earlier revision (like the label for it being a 1mb or 2mb board) is unknown as far as I know.

Regular ST monitor port is on the back. Glad to know I'm not the only STacy owner here (STacy4/20 here)

BTW, I'm working on a screen replacement for which I'll post info when it's done. Done meaning zero flakiness or bugs.

Yep, there are a few of us around - I've been doing lots of things to mine. :)

I've only tried color on it - will a mono monitor work as well? Thanks.

I'll be interested in reading that post - I've already updated mine with a new El sheet. There is a thread here at AtariAge.

I'm going a bit more gonzo for mine. Replacing the LCD with a 640x400 Planar EL panel.

I love the 1200XL, but for that price it better come with..........

Ultimate 1mb
SIDE
VBXE
Two 3.5" upgraded XF551s
And a Kristina Hendricks android programmed to provide certain "comforts" while I work on it.

In Topic: F*** the 64..

The programming I did had little to do with games, though they did use the video hardware for interesting secondary effects at times.

The point is BASIC, which is by default the lowest common denominator for programming on 80s micros. And the C64's was bloody awful. If you have to alter memory location contents to do anything related to graphics and sound because the BASIC totally lacked commands to do those functions, then the BASIC is rubbish.
