There is a guy like that on Tradera too, called "stonan". I was lucky that there was two Plus/4s for sale at the same time when I bought mine, because he bid on the other one and both auctions ended up at 410 SEK... Just 10 SEK more than what he payed for a VIC-20 book some time back... B...

I just ordered it from Guru Mediation in Uppsala.

Having "character" and a "look" doesn't mean sacrificing ease of use and navigation. I've seen it done well in the past. But anything using php forums can tend to look the same i f it isn't jazzed up a bit. And that's a good thing. That means you don't have to learn a new easy-t...

Amen to that!

Ah, I thought LocalTalk was something akin of AppleTalk, a basic kind of network (not Ethernet though). Appletalk is the software layer. Localtalk is the hardware layer. Appletalk is used to this day, in incarnations such as Ethertalk. While Localtalk is a network, on the terminal side it is nothin...

It was released about at the same time as the Amiga1200 with similar specifications, except for the sound... Yeah, I thought so too until a few weeks ago when I looked closer. If I understand correctly, these are the basic specs: Falcon 030: 16 MHz 68030, 4 MB RAM, IDE and SCSI interfaces, DSP, Loc...

Haha, the VICs were once described in a computer magazine as "Flash Gordon's new space typewriter from the thirties".

For a bare Falcon and some old SCSI boxes, 3 500 is asking a lot.

Go for it, Kahlin!

You may want to push the deadline forward a bit, since people will have to get to grips with the tracker before they're able to compose something worthwhile, and it also takes a while for the news to propagate.
Otherwise it looks fine.

What chip was that? Never heard about it.

As for next-gen chips, Atari had one called AMY in the works for use in the XE line, but never put to use by that cheapskate Jack Tramiel. Interestingly, the datasheet was released this year, and it looks really advanced.

I think that Kohina could be interested, they've already cooperated on Aleksi's Polytracker competition.

Oh, you know Tommy?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I just found this site.
