800XL Motherboards variants "NTSC PAL SECAM" for dummies

Posted 27 Feb 2009

Hello all,

i just did this, i think it was missing.

Feel free to tell me if i did any mistakes or if i it needs any updates.

For detailled pictures:

- The SECAM
- The NTSC
- The PAL

And B.T.W. i think there are mistakes in the "Atari 8-Bit Computers:FAQ":

1ST:

Quote
ANTIC -- 400/800/1200XL,NTSC:CO12296 400/800,PAL:CO14887
===== 600XL/800XL/XE,NTSC:CO21697 XL/XE,PAL:CO21698
should be :

ANTIC -- 400/800/1200XL,NTSC:CO12296 400/800,PAL:CO14887
===== 600XL/800XL/XE,NTSC:CO21697 XL/XE,PAL,SECAM:CO21698
Because all my SECAM have the CO21698 (and this one only).

2ND:

Subject: 1.6) What is the Atari 800XL?

SECAM (France) version, produced fall 1984 by Atari Corp.
- "SECAM ROSE" motherboard
- FREDDIE memory management chip
- FGTIA; PAL ANTIC
- Monitor port has unique pinout, 6 pins instead of 5;
includes composite video but not chrominance nor luminance signals
- No TV jack
- No TV channel switch
- Internal color/monochrome switch
labeled for some reason as "50Hz / 60 Hz" here:
http://arklif.free.f...n-Compresse.jpg
- This latest picture is usefull but...wrong (that's why i just did the whole thing from scratch): Basic/bios inverted, Freddie/ANTIC inverted.
- There is no 50/60 Hz switch, it's just a color/B&W switch

And finally, i don't know if they are different but on the secam i have 2 differents pokeys: CO12294 and CO12294B (so can we think we have a rev A and rev B ?).

Atari 800 XL motherboards in HiRes

Posted 9 Nov 2008

Hi,

If you want to see some pictures of my Atari 800 XL motherboards in HiRes, just go there,

You'll find my own collection:
1 NTCS
1 PAL
5 SECAM (with different Freddie chips)

Can someone tell me what are the 2 small wires on the 2nd one used for ?

Feel free to add your own pictures below...

(It was easier for me to quickly make a web site rather than putting it there because the pictures are too big).

If you want to see the different 800XL boxes, see this post.

And don't forget to add your serial number to this post.
