hi everyone, been in the atari business since 1983, its because of you that i am still here, and i thank you for it every day. merry christmas and a happy new years to all, lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, the 8bit os is considered one of the greatest hacks ever made. the little atari could do in 1979, what it took the peecee to do by 1995, and billions of dollars to try to make it more than just a glorified calculator. the 800xl was a little over $300.00, you turned it on, basic pops up, or load a cart in seconds, or load a disk in under a minute most times. it takes vast amounts of code and ram, just to print hello on you monitor screen in color on the peecee. lance www.atarisales.com

hi all, artisan and i were day dreaming, this is just a mock up, label not perfect. but putt18 has been a super seller on the atari 8-bit, and the 5200, we were just day dreaming perhaps someday on the atari 7800. so we decided to see what a cart might look like. thanks for looking, lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, hope he responds soon. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, i am still waiting for my son to report back, please bear with me. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, my mac mini has 4 gigs of ram, and a dual core. my son upgraded it. we hook up computers to the s-video all of the time. works for us. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, it also says not working. lets see what my son comes up with. getting a working mac mini loaded, would be a better option, even if it costs more. lance www.atarisales.com

hi steve, thanks, wes is looking also. maybe he has the stuff to upgrade the mac mini. i will keep all informed. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, yep, the little three were way ahead at first, then they got dumb. the data base carey wrote for me is limited by disk space, up to 16 meg partition on a hard drive. 360k on a 5 inch disk, or 720k on a three inch disk. atari limited their data base to 64 files, and 300 entries, all in ram. exceed 300 entries, you exceed ram, and no more entries. great looking program, easy to use, menu driven, and limited by 64 files and 48k. by 1987, you still could not get them to budge. then they told me to buy a peecee! yep, you did good. you should have worked at atari! lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, even after untold billions, TOS works better, more stable, and can do wonders with 4 megs of ram. apple is better than a peecee, sorta today. but if you could get a 100mghr falcon with 512 megs of ram, you would be in hog heaven. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, i had one of those, same with both my kids. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, when america went the free trade route, it also stopped monopoly power. IBM had more janitors, than apple, atari and commodore had employees. IBM used that massive power to drown out the other three. IBM had more salesmen than apple, atari, commodore had employees. by the time the small three figured out that computers were also going to be business machines, and not just school machines, ibm had the business world locked up. the smaller three were still trying to understand that their dos's limited just about everything that needed to be done. again, the menu dos's were awesome and easy to use, but extremely limited, and for no reasons at all. i knew one of the guys that wrote mydos, i asked him why he made it hard drive compatible, but with the sever limit of only 64 files per directory. that would limit any database to just 64 total files. hardly the stuff for a small business, let alone a big one. we need thousands of file entries. i have a data base like that written by carey. anyways he could not answer me except he said the small three were just computers for people to tinker around with at home. this view was from the top to the bottom at all three till jobs figured it out. even atari told me that if i wanted a business machine, go get a peecee, and they had the tt-030 out then. talk about dumb! lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, agreed, a better machine for sure. not as good as atari, but just about anything beats a peecee. digital is amazing sometimes. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, yep, that's the one. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, i know where you are coming from. most people think the peecee is a real computer, it is not. its really nothing more than a calculator, that has been jury rigged to show color, graphics, and sound. hundreds of billions of dollars has been spent on the machine to get it operating sorta, as good as a 130xe. and its still not as good as a 130xe. i am checking with my son to see what he has right now. lance www.atarisales.com

hi steve, do you ever plan on using the mac mini? i completely understand where michael is coming from. lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, yes, aluminum. i will ask my son if he has anything and stock, and what is the o.s. they are using. i do not use pc'es at all, junk. can't use the laptop i sent for you to use? lance www.atarisales.com

hi, Jinroh, and thanks for the compliments!! lance www.atarisales.com

hi, thanks! lance www.atarisales.com

hi michael, i use mine every day, its the dual core one, i have one as a backup, steve has one also. i will check with my son to see if he has one available. lance www.atarisales.com

hi joe, we need a update:) lance www.atarisales.com

hi everyone, newest video on the 45 degree controller option peter installed in novawolf, its a brilliant option peter, great job. this should be our last option installed, now its purely doing beta testing. This video shows the latest build of V61's new game for the Atari 8-bit, "Novawolf," with a new option: 45-degree turns, which can be set on the menu before you start playing the game. Before, you could only perform 90-degrees. As like before, this is an unfinished prototype. Game parameters may change. Thanks for watching! Lance www.atarisales.com
