Site News:
The Atari History Site is on the move!!! I am in the process of moving, after these next couple of additions to the site, there will not be many additional site updates until November sometime. Also all projects have been placed on hold and packed for the time being for the move, the new 800 IDE board is in the process of a redesign based on some fantastic work by Dr Clu for my friend Sijmen who's myIDE is the basis for this new board. The floppy drive controllers are just about ready, boards need to be run and cases modified, trying to work on a deal to have an available upgrade from Bob Puff at CSS available for the boards as well, still working on that. The 7800 Keyboard is also coming along, hopefully all will be ready once I've settled into the new house, the museum and arcade are setup and the archive room is built and setup and my workshop is unpacked and back in action.
Sorry for any inconvience this may cause anyone, please bare with me during
this move. In the meantime:
Karl Morris at the AHS Europe site: The Atari Time Machine will be available for any assistance during this time and I'd also like to welcome our newest AHS member: Markus of www.atarihistory.de who has joined up and will become a part of the AHS network of sites.
Last but certainly not least, atari7800.com
will be coming back. Justin was sick in the hospital
and didn't confide in his friend Chuck, everything is alright, the guys
are working on a leaner, cleaner, nicer web design, they have caught up
all outstanding orders and deals and will be getting themselves back online
shortly, so look for the return of some really great Atari 7800 dedicated
imagery and information.
