Re: My retro computer blog

I must say, good work on the case. On my 520STm i also keep the case original on the outside. I just removed a bit of plastic inside the case to make room for IDE Cables, but that is not visible from the outside. On the other hand, i think personally i would not have done all the work and then put a...

Re: Falcon H-sync fault

Might be a bad chip.
But, is there a pull-up somewhere in this signal path?
I can imagine that a broken pullup could look similar

Re: WANTED - Atari original injection molds

Given that those molds are massive pieces of steel, it might be possible to find them with a metal detector on low sensitivity without ever opening a palette.

Re: 32Mhz oscillator "issue"

(I also don't want to exaggerate how big of a problem this is. Yes, some things will fail. Might even be lower border in some games. Those of us who have machines that can run at 32.000 already can of course test ... and I have such hardware) Thanks... I don't know how all that works, but if its MF...

The ST and the TFT both run on an AT-Powersupply in the tower case. In there are also 2 Floppy drives and a raspberry pi, wich acts as a modem for...
