Atari 520ST en roue libre

J'ai réparé mon imprimante matricielle !
C'est une Star LC-10, elle imprimait un début de ligne et le chariot se bloquait avant que l'imprimante ne se mette en erreur.
J'ai vérifié l'alimentation, la commande du moteur du chariot, RAS.
Au final c'était un problème mécanique, j'ai graissé les éléments mobiles du chariot et j'ai fait tourner le ruban encreur dans sa cartouche avec une visseuse électrique, et ça m'a l'air bon maintenant !
Testé avec mon #Atari Mega STE et le traitement de texte Papyrus (et pas la bonne fonte!)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

This glorious #Kaypro, now living a second life as a portal to Amis XE BBS running on retro soul. Want to relive the golden age of phosphor glow, Atascii/Ascii, Telnet into Amis86.ddns.net port 9000 and join the Atari BBS revolution. #BBSing #southernamis #RetroComputing #atari

#Atari got my chiptune player showing the track names on an LCD :)

Just me jamming live with the hypnotic Virtual Light Machine in the "ungame" nestled within Jeff Minter's stunning reimagining of Atari’s I, Robot.

Listening to very old (up to 2011 currently) Open Apple podcasts, and they have a listener question I've asked for years:
Why is there so little public Apple ][ fan stuff and online material?

There's preserved stuff, a few emulators, people buying old machines & disks for $$$, but nothing like the many Atari & C= sites & rabid fandom.

The hosts blame it on numbers, but that didn't make sense, Apple sold more than Atari did, right?

@drwho Hiya!

Are you perchance the same as the person (I almost called you a gent when I have NO idea. You could be Spivak :) on IRC #Atari asking about my TNFS server?

Thanks for checking in. This is the first piece of positive feedback or actual interest I've ever seen in the project.

It got taken down from the TNFS site directory at one point and the only other feedback I'd ever gotten is "disorganized" :)

I wish I had the time to really sit down and try to algorithmically map out how to filter @internetarchive's Atari collection into more human navigable categories, but my time has been drawn in other directions with work getting busy and my feeling the pressure to hardcore amp up my skills in case this amazing MIT job I love so much evaporates :)

Do you actually get real use out of the site? If I thought it had anything like a user base I'd be much more attentive.

One frustration I've had with the TNFS server software (another thing I'd love time to hack on! :) is that there's no way to even get a sense of the magnitude of actual users.

Anyway I checked and the TNFS server is emitting this over and over:

WARNING: unable to accept TCP connection

But it's back online. I ran the IA update software so it should get refreshed with the latest and greatest.

Pardon this got long. Have a great night and again thanks for checking in!

I need a momentary button switch (a reset button) that can solder into one of these through-hole pairs, more often used for jumper pins. I can't find any with simply through pins - such buttons always have the rounded fin connectors with an in-bored hole.

Anyone know where I can find such a button? Thanks.

I got a second Fantastic Game cart, but it doesn't have the same game list I wanted to play Chess, but it is Othello #retro #retrogaming #atari #atari2600

So, I decided to start a new Substack but this time focus on retro gaming: https://www.levelupretro.net/p/journey-through-a-post-apocalyptic

Well, @llamasoft_ox and @gilesgoat have supassed themselves with I, Robot. I popped into #PSVR2 to see what it was like, and emerged three hours later, only because the eldest has a swimming class to get to.

Shades of Hovver Bovver and Tempest, with an assault on the senses that has paved neural pathways I never knew I had.

Wonderful balance of puzzle solving and frantic arcade fury, all discovered through cyber-dream logic.

Masterpiece.

Bounty Bob hits the big city! After Miner 2049er, Big Five planned a fiery #Atari sequel in 1983 called Scraper Caper. Bob becomes a fireman rescuing folks from a burning skyscraper. Sadly, the game was scrapped and lost. Is it really gone for good?
