- ST 03:46 AM EclaireXL Bug #54 (Closed): GTIA issue when Turbo > 4X
- I'm attaching a BASIC listing of a PMG test program I wrote to assist in diagnosing an issue with the 1088XEL. For fun, I tried running it with the various Turbo speeds. 1, 2, 4 work perfectly. 8, 16, 32 display issues as shown in the...

Excellent - glad it will be of help. I only recently discovered this cool program.

- ST 11:30 PM EclaireXL Bug #52 (Closed): Atari Control Picture
- CORE14, PAL & NTSC exhibit the same behaviour. When displaying the attached Atari Control Picture, the colour blocks in column 0 are only displaying the rightmost 4 pixels, not the entire 8.

External drives. My setup is a USB based SIO2PC device from Steve Tucker (AtariMax), running a registered version of APE on the PC. I'm a bit hesitant to trust my testing of th... - I just wanted to post and let you guys know, that I will be taking my Eclaire to a computer show on June 24th. A group of us are trying to get a local computer show started in Indiana, USA. I'll be making a 6 hour drive to show off Ecl...

Especially if going down the route of using a mini-ITX power supply internal to the case. That will give a nice clean regulated 5VDC and 12VDC rail. With a relatively simple circuit, the front panel ... - ST 10:07 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Tested PBI devices thread

Nope - literally 1mm of ... - ST 12:02 AM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Tested PBI devices thread
- Confirmed. 4.75mm gap and the MIO plugs in fine. I do not have a drive to test it with, but hitting SELECT+RESET brings up the config menu. I am able to navigate the menu.

- ST 11:33 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Tested PBI devices thread
- The connector looks like it requires 4.75mm, and the PCB has about 3.7. I will file this opening larger so that I can test the MIO. If we could have that extra 1 to 1.5mm, everything will be OK.
- ST 11:01 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Tested PBI devices thread
- I was attempting to test my MIO, but unfortunately, the PBI cable on the MIO will not fit the daughter board. I will attempt to post a picture as well as take measurements. The issue is the space between the PBI and joystick ports is to...

- ST 10:47 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Custom keyboard designs for EclaireXL
- Both designs are beautiful. I've been using a WASD Code keyboard (Cherry Green, white LED backlight) for a long time now. Absolutely fantastic KB to type on. My only complaint is the keycaps are losing their black paint, so the backli...

Yes, everything on the ATR I attached works. I will attach the version of Veronica BASIC I was trying to use. This evening I will arrange my desk better so that I can... - ST 02:40 AM EclaireXL Bug #48: CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working

- ST 02:25 AM EclaireXL Bug #48: CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working
- Guys - I am very sorry. I was not loading the BIOS first. Veronica is working properly. I tried to delete this, but must not have appropriate permissions.
- ST 02:23 AM EclaireXL Bug #48: CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working
- VREGREAD passes both tests, VRAMTEST passes the 4 tests.
- ST 02:21 AM EclaireXL Bug #48: CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working
- Also, VREGREAD fails both tests, and VRAMTEST fails all 4 tests.
- ST 02:14 AM EclaireXL Bug #48 (Closed): CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working
- I've tried various RAM and NTSC/PAL settings. When I run "detector.com" from the attached ATR, the screen flickers and I get "Veronica Not Detected". My Veronica is a black cased Revision 2.0.
- ST 02:18 AM EclaireXL Bug #50 (New): CORE13 - Option on initial powerup does not disable BASIC
- When initially turning on the Eclaire, holding F8 does not disable internal BASIC. However, once booted, if I hold F8 then press F10 to restart, BASIC does get disabled. The built in self test shows the keyboard is responding.
- ST 02:17 AM EclaireXL Bug #49 (Closed): CORE13 - NTSC/PAL switching
- I've noticed several times when I switch between PAL and NTSC, then do a "save and apply", when I exit, and exit the main screen the core has frozen and no keys respond (F10, etc.) It doesn't seem to matter if I go from PAL to NTSC, or ...
