RetrOS Darn. Already taken. How about AnticOS?

In Topic: What was YOUR very first computer?

Sun Mar 18, 2012 9:59 AM

The first computer I owned was an Atari 600XL. A few months later I sold it to my aunt and a year later my parents bought me a Commodore 64 and a 1541 diske drive. Loved my C64. I eventually sold it and bought an Amiga 500, which I later sold and upgraded to an Amiga 1200. I used the A1200 up until around 1997 when I finally bought a PC. These days I own a Mac and couldn't be happier.

Never used for anything.... the shortlived 5200 Speech Synthesizer was rumored to use that port, but never got anywhere, so its unclear if it would've used it. Atari quickly realized it could do speech in software and hardware was not needed...

Congratulations, you have just discovered your next project! The 5200 XM :D

Hopefully it doesn't interfere with his 5200 replacement joystick project. ;)

If your set has it, make sure to enable game mode. Game mode turns off a lot of the unnecessary picture processing done by the set that causes lag.
