Denial

For the asking price I would expect to see video evidence of them working

Would be nice if there was an "official" boot image for this cart along the lines of the megacart menu. I guess this cart would then offer everything the MC does but offer the benefit of ready availability, updatable and larger memory.

What light pens would work with this?

How about this one?

Thanks for the heads-up. I thought they had dropped that as I expected to see it in the same issue as the game review.

PM sent!

I think Astro Command is already out there, but I can't find the other one.

I can rip it to TAP files for you, if it can't be found on-line (no point posting your originals if it's already there).

Looks like it sold for £80.99, so not a bad price prediction.

They don't come up very often so there isn't really a "going rate". I bagged one in reasonable condition about 8 years ago for £35, but if I was in the market now, I think I would pay up to about £80. One here to watch... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Commodore-1701-Color-Monitor-WORKI...

Not to worry, I can record over it with the Princess.

I'm assuming the .tap file you provided has the correct volume (assuming .tap files describe volume)?

I was thinking that one of these with a special crafted wave file and software would be pretty useful? Assuming they are correctly aligned, which I guess is easier than a moving tape. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Retro-Car-Telecontrol-Tape-Audio-Cassette-SD-MMC-MP3-Player-Adapter-Kit-Remote-/2914721889...

I'm surprised Pulse wasn't included in the "essential homebrew".

My vote goes to Flimbos Quest

I recall Atari BASIC itself being pretty slow.

So the cassette deck won't work with your power supply?

A big thumbs up. Thanks for all the hard work!
