- but i do get strange phenomena..
occasionally the EclairXL does a soft reset when i press START or STOP.. it happen after the tape his hooked and working for a while..
currently its random but it happened with two XC12 tapes i got.

- Woohoo:)
- ND 09:58 PM Developer: RE: XC12 power usage?
- tested the XC12 for an hour TR2 is not hot
Nir - FO 08:22 PM Developer: RE: XC12 power usage?
- Its TR2 near interface 2
- ND 08:17 PM Developer: RE: XC12 power usage?
- yes i have one and can check how it load tapes
where are the transistors located?
Nir - Does anyone have an XC12? I want to know if we give it enough power for the motor. Might be worth checking if the transistor gets hot!

- ND 08:35 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- ok, managed to get CORE8 flashed
Nir - FO 08:20 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- Yes if its there you can use it. There are instructions to make one on the wiki tag.
- ND 08:13 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- how do i make a jic file?
there is a v8.jic on the folder as well.. can i use it?
Nir - FO 07:53 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- To make it last you need to make a .jic file.
- FO 07:53 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- If you flashed a sof then it only lasts until you switch off! So when you say 'when I switch on' I guess you reset it back to v7.
- ND 06:16 PM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- ok i just downloaded v8.sof, used the USB Blaster to program and its says 100% successful.
still when i switch on NTSC screen crashes?! is that suppose to happen in this version?
it would be nice to have an info on the SETTINGS scr... - ND 08:24 PM Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?

- Of course I mean lfsr!
- FO 10:25 AM Developer: RE: How does Random numbers are been generated in EclairXL?
- Pokey has an lsfr
- Just a general question
does EclairXL board generate real random numbers or it 100% emulate the Atari?

- OK Mark,
where can i download V8? its not it the files section here
Nir - FO 07:39 AM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- That said if you can make a working 50Hz mode (of similar resolution) with your pc and this monitor, please send me the timings used.
- FO 06:39 AM Developer: RE: How to center the image in PAL VGA mode?
- Hi Nir,
NTSC works on v8, but not on v7 (it shipped with v7). So if you install that you can switch modes.
Regarding resolution 'pal' mode is 576p50 and 'ntsc' mode is 480p59.94. A lot of modern monitors handle them since they are ...

- Yeah sorry it needs to be 'structure 1'. The mcc (multiple classic computer) board has its own setup.
For reference:An .arg file is basically an encoded .rbf file, with some custom flags the mcc team added. Anyway that is another boar... - ND 08:57 AM Developer: RE: atari800core.arg
- i did follow the instruction on the user manual and on page 6 it did show that i needed the atari800core.arg file
with your SDCARD.RAR i could get the board to boot into the ready prompt..
today i will start to test it..
thanks

- The .arg file is for the MCC216?
Are you trying to set up an SD card? There is a nice description of how to lay out the directories in the manual. - ND 09:45 PM Developer: RE: atari800core.arg
- or is there a basic image of the SD card i can download and test?
Nir
where can i find the atari800core.arg file?

Except Steve here, Mike and Lyren boards also have arrived, although have not respond public yet.

- Hi Steve,
Exciting it arrived:)
Thanks for the feedback. We need to keep a track of issues from this board so we make sure to fix them on all the final version. I guess I should start a new wiki page to track them.
If the main b... - First I would like to say that I am amazed at what has been created here. Although I haven't had time to do anything other than examine the hardware, the main board looks to be well designed and produced, very professional. You guys shou...

Worth flashing v8 core when you get it since NTSC works on that. I'm still trying to get v9 working with the initial PBI support...
Did you think about the keyboard mapping stuff or just get a UK keyboard in the end? - 91 06:33 PM Developer: RE: Any boards arrived?
- I received a text from the Post Office that I have a parcel from Greece out for delivery today. Hopefully it is my board.
05/24/2017
- The boards are pre-flashed with v7 I think. This does not work with NTSC. So I suggest flashing with v8 as the first action if you want to run NTSC.
I'm working on v9 which will include initial PBI support and I'll also double check t...

- FO 06:59 AM Developer: RE: Power Requirements?
- USB B 5V input. 500mA is enough but I'd go with 1-2A to give some extra for any connected devices.
- Just a quick question, what are the power requirements? for this board?
Thanks

- FO 09:04 PM Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?
- I guess you can make a custom sub-board for it so the cart can go in that nice door on the back. All the support chips are on the main board so the sub board is just plumbing.

- Since the boards are almost ready, does everyone have their case ready.
Both Panos and I have an MHero S R case and it fits well into that. It is mini-itx standard so other cases should work. Please bear in mind that the sub-boards si...
