Hi Mathy,

It will be my pleasure to present these on Fujiama...
I may bring a few pieces if anyone is interested as well :-)

Best Regards,

I seen PeBe's MIDI Remote in action during development... it's amazing and equipped with many features. I'm not fairy but I can see (without crystal ball!) many many new modern, interesting things to do with MIDI Remote :-)

Hello, I would like to introduce new set of devices which is called AtarINO. At this moment the set contains two modules: DIAGariXE and DIAGariXE.V003. The main purpose of these modules is to make it easier to design extensions for Atari XE computer using direct access to data and address busses via...

Most probably is that it's not Atari idea... i saw the same mechanism into CPC 464 (or Sinclair 128 - need to confirm) and Commodore 64 cassette deck. Electronics is not the same (C64 has better low pass filter and frequency discriminator - better for turbo mode, hardware modification not needed). B...

I would like to introduce two new very simple devices build for better video signal generated by Atari. As probably everyone know, used by Atari original CD4050 as simply DAC is not insufficient to generate sharp and good quality picture - especially in the middle of grey table: GTIA_grey_issue.png ...

We planned to arrive close to 4 P.M. on Thursday...

Yes, PBI version with case is available too.

Hi, I sent PM to you but general... MCPlayer working under SpartaDosX in X mode (to avoid address conflict with SDX). When you start under SDX, just run MCP like: X MCP158.COM or X MCP158.COM /AD580 - address shall be the same as set on jumpers. First method using autodetect for MC, second given add...

Hi,

Just a short movie how to run MCP under SDX loaded from AVG cart:

Great!

I hope, a few challenges are not made your opinion bad :-) You should to know, work with many MIDI files needs more than easy DOS - maybe you will change mind after while, regarding to SDX...

You are!

Hello,

Today I found a couple of hours to assembly first piece of my tool set... wow it's time to connect something to Atari.. actually I did it earlier.. before I made AtarINO:

Hi MIDI freaks! I would like to introduce new version of MIDIcar device called MIDIcarSDX . It's combine MIDIcar, MaxFlash128+ and SDX. Due to this combination, MDIcar is ready to work immediately after switching on, and the program necessary for MIDI playback is available on the CAR device paired w...

pancio

Wow... I didn't realize that SDX is too bad :-) But seriously... which one operating system is so flexible like SDX with best access, operational on files? Moreover... If Atari is using for playing MIDI files only, you cannot to use it for other things in the same time! Where the problem is? In my o...

Hi Voters!

Many thanks for your trust and vote for my project. I am very pleasantly surprised :-) Of course, all information about the project will be available on my website. If you are interested in building your own toolkit, contact me - I have some free PCBs :-)

Thank you very much once again!

pancio

Hi andY I sincerely hope that your problems will end soon and everything will be fine. I also didn't have much time on AtarINO, but I managed to make a small project based on CH32V003, which is an interesting alternative to the XTAL clock (Si5351). Anyone who wants to have fun, please visit: https:/...

Hi, Today PeBe solved problem with MCP which is installed directly on SDX CAR flash memory. From today using MC is so easy! Just plug MC to CART/ECI, turn your ATARI and enjoy music! Thank you PeBe! MIDIcarSDX.jpeg Now PeBe is working with some very usefully features on his player. I will say more s...

When MIDIcar was under development I didn't realize that someone want to have audio output from MIDI on TV/Monitor. Though, best audio should be only on RCA but of course it's possible to have "poor" Audio on DIN-5 Monitor output as well. You need two resistors 43k-47k, 10cm thin wire(like...

Hi All,
I added schematics and gerbers for both DIAGari version on my page: https://systemembedded.eu/viewtopic.php?p=88#p88

I would like to announce very easy mod which can be very usable when we have some trouble with stable PHI2 (generated by CPU) signal. If we have more devices connected to CPU bus (all needs PHI2 as clock signal) the PHI2 is corrupted, and phase if floating. My solution eliminating this issue and is ...

Just for fun...

Our colleague Krystone made three MIDI adaptations for very famous Atari's musics.
Have Fun!

Hi, I would like to update anyone interested in MIDIcar development... I decided to make new version which will be universal for XL and XE series (600XL include). Additionally, universal mezzanine board for other projects was made (called PBIvo for PBI, and XEvo or XAvo :-) for CART/ECI - in develop...

Hi Andy,

I Disagree... At first these old SIO2SD become to RETRO. For me these are like artifact from the past. :-)

Just quick comment (will be explained later - I'm going to work)... MC might be discovered "by accident" - sometime it works, sometime not. MC6850 hasn't special register or ID, so program trying to find something connected on $D1 or $D5 page. Unfortunately not always work properly. It not...

Vielen Dank für Ihren Vorschlag, aber ich möchte mehr als ein Turbomodul testen, daher ist Mega Speedy der beste Kandidat :-)

Hi,

I prepared MIDIcar version for 1090XL extension. If we have almost one user in UE which is interested to test it I'll order PCB for it... Source files are available on my page.

Hi Mathy,

I'm during refreshing PCB for megaspeedy so it's time to come up with alternatives to the smaller selector. Do you have something in mind?

Many thanks to Erhard for very constructive advices and help!

Moin, nachdem ich ja lange Zeit im Atari Bereich "offline" war konnte ich nun feststellen, daß es gerade im Bereich CARTs ziemlich viele Neuerungen gibt. Ich möchte mal fragen: Welche Vor- und Nachteile haben welche Carts? Beim THE!CART weiss ich es, es ist die langsame Übertragung per At...

Piotr Bugaj aka "zaxon" does very interesting things, but sometimes without barriers, like the author's property, and sometimes on the Atari forum, especially in Poland, we have a kind of war because of unethical practices... I don't like it... I usually ask authors before making a replica...

pancio

Pretty finished... Looks like the original, but I added a few modifications and rerouted some wires. Changed outlines to be compatible with standard KiCAD, added one capacitor under SRAM... It should be 1:1 compatible with the original PCB as I tried to have almost the same component positions. Whil...

A few components production was discontinued e.g. XC95144XL-TQ100 or SOIP-32 SRAM but these are still available on the market. I changed high speed diode from PMLL4153 to LL4148 because it's cheaper and easy to buy and has very similar electrical ratings. There is no one component which are not avai...

I love connecting various things to Atari and especially what I didn't have in the 90s. e.g. HDD. Together with FloppyDoc and GBXL we have been working on reactivating the mscIDE project for some time. The plan has cooperation either with SSD SATA or with NvME (by a dedicated adapter). It got stuck ...

Hello Pancio

I hope the software can be/will be compiled for use with the Mac too.

Sincerely

Mathy

PS will you show this at the Fujiama 2024?

Library and main program is wrote in GCC, so if this compiler is available on Mac... so answer is yes :-)

Hi! I've very busy last time so need to read tons of article on Abbuc's forum.. but before I start this I would like to show you how to connect Atari to any TV using HDTV cable... I spend a few hours on research in order to find cheap and proper scandoubler... I found RGBS2HDMI device which works ve...

pancio

Correct, But if you'll connect directly to monitor out you will have so dark/not-synchronized picture, moreover you need to have power for scandoubler, so best method is to drop modulator from Atari then place scandoubler and additional miniHDMI socket in hole after TV modulator. Two video signals a...

Hi, I would like to inform you that VRHI (yes, I know it's crazy name - will be changed soon to something more friendly :-)) was pretty finished.

Hi,

Short update... housing under tests... It will be protected against incorrect insertion of the cartridge.

Hi, Mentioned by you @mega-hz SIO device #$4f is the 'bus master' assigned for 1090 module and it's always checked in computer start procedure just after check that #$31 (D1:) is not operational. Please look to picture: siofull.png It's whole transmission catch on logic analyzer... what we have here...

We are working on that! I bought The Cart! last month for this purpose. As I discussed with JAC!, there is nothing strange to do... protocol for The Cart! should be ready soon...
