    excuse me. have you a simple solution for something that we used to do in the past: i just want to use my PRTSCR button as i did for decades, but modern OS's (Win/Lin) don't support that. its always redirected for a virtual screenshot instead. i once had a tool for that purpose, but i hoped there be a vanilla solution..?

    Came here from Steins:Gate, would you know if there are motherboard schematics? I own a ZX Spectrum and I'm wanting to expand my retro computers. I understand these sell for a lot of money, and I'd like to make my own.

    Nice find, reminds me of the conversion Colby Computers did for the original Macintosh. I had a quick look and it seems like it's a Taiwanese product co-developed with a 'Golden Time Corporation' around 1984 from the blurry images I saw on forums - I couldn't find anything from the patent number but the UK marking suggests to me that they were looking to sell these in Hong Kong/the Commonwealth. If 1984 is the correct date, I imagine they saw the much-smaller Apple IIc + Flat Panel LCD screen combination and soon moved on from this project.

    You missed the Atari 1200XL, the first of the XL line, the first Atari with 64K of RAM and a Help key. It also had four function keys that were not carried over to the rest of the XL line. Yes, many of the lower memory map locations were changed because the third and fourth joystick ports were removed and the memory locations were used for other purposes, such as an international character set. These changes were carried on to the rest of the XL and XE line. Because of slight incompatibility with the 400/800 computers and its 'high' price, higher than that of the C64, it didn't sell well and was canceled after just a few months. The cross-platform Atari800 emulator is the basis of the Altirra or Atari800Win emulator and the Atari800MacX emulator. In my opinion, Atari800MacX has the very best and most accessible user interface. The other versions leave you to have to remember control-key combinations for all the functions. Thanks for the Paddle tips. I did have at least one set of Paddle controllers for my old Atari 800 that I may be able to get back with my old Atari Home Computers, but this is good to know just in case. I did make my own light pen back in the day. I'm looking forward to getting the FijiNet module and the recreated MAC/65 cartridge for my old Ataris when I get them back (after thirty years) over Spring Break. The Ultimate Cart is another way to mount an SD card to your old Atari. Atari 8K BASIC saw ALL numbers as floating-point numbers, even the line numbers! But there was a bug in the floating point routines that made anything in Atari 8K BASIC notoriously slow. This is what quickly forced me to learn 6502 Assembly Language. Fortunately, Atari 8K BASIC has commands that make using machine language subroutine very easy. USR(ADR(ML$)) would jump to a machine language routine that was saved in ML$ after finding the address of that string. ATASCII uses all 256 8-bit binary combinations, so machine language can be represented directly as text. But strings in BASIC can be randomly relocated. That's why you have to request the string's address at the time of the call, and you have to be sure to use NO jump instructions in your code. Only BRAnch instructions are safe. MAC/65 is a much faster assembler that works on the Atari. It also allows macros. The cartridge version (a recreation of which is available from AtariMax) includes the excellent Dunion's Debugging Tool. MAC/65 is largely similar to the Atari Assembler/Editor cartridge, but it's more powerful and much faster. All of these clever graphics tricks are well-explained in the excellent book, De Re Atari. This is available, along with a BUNCH of other very useful documents AND software at AtariMania.

    Btw you have misleading comment on the "STA $D01A" line. $D01A is not a shadow register but actual hardware register. ($02C8 is the shadow register of the OS for it, which gets copied to $D01A through OS interrupt routine).

    I bought an Aptiva from a friend of mine back in the days. It was a Pentium MMX 233Mhz model. I remember it had 32MB’s of RAM but upgraded it to 128MB’s and install Windows 98se on it. It ran really well. I tried Windows XP on it. Even though it was sluggish it still ran OK.

    23:00 paddle return 0-228 You trigger reset of POKEY cap value to 228 and each scan line subtracts one until reaching 0 or min/max voltage of cap. DO NOT fry your POKEY or 6520, PIA (joysticks). They are extremely hard to find as it was used as sound chips in ATARI arcade machines. People keep stealing spares from home machines or 7800 carts to repair arcades that can use 1-4 chips. ATARI also made dual and quad POKEYs on single chips to cut costs

    I own this word processor and it is fully complete. I used it for several years in business in the mid-80s and early 90s. it was always referred to as System 6000 in the literature. I have complete documentation (all manuals that came with the unit) and the bi-directional printer that Dictaphone sold with the unit. I also have blank discs and other accessories. The unit used a system disc in one drive and a data disc in the other. I'm in Michigan and wondered if you knew of any organizations here that would be interested in the processor. Thanks.
