- FO 08:01 AM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- I need to do something about the firmware soon, there are about 4 bytes free! Of course we have plenty of resources but it needs some work to map more ram or further restructure the support CPU and firmware. More buttons are after that...

- FO 07:58 AM Developer: RE: On Off Controller by Maxim
- So we'd have this instead of the toggle switch? Then a tps63002 for the stable 5V?
Guess it would be good to have main button on/off, though I do like the toggle:) - On Off Controller by Maxim, which can be used as on off switch, using a momentary switch. This can be handle a relay and control the 5volt input to the rest pcb circuit, or to control all three "enable" inputs of LDO regulators.

- SA 11:12 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- Excellent job! Although I like very much the key-caps, I would prefer a more chocolate version for the main keyboard!
Please inform us when they are ready to order!! - JO 09:13 AM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- It won't be an issue, once the keyboard layout in Eclaire can be configured.

- 91 03:45 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- What about that one? That's a PC keyboard, mine is designed specifically for the EclaireXL keyboard layout.
- JO 12:40 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- This is the correct one.
- JO 12:40 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!

- JO 12:40 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!

- Beautiful keyboard!

- FO 07:25 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- Backlit too. Your one looks far better than the one on Amazon!
- 91 05:20 PM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- Thanks. The actual keyboard is a Velocifire TKL-01, it runs about $30 from Amazon. It is painted using Krylon camouflage Khaki spray paint.
- FO 07:02 AM Developer: RE: Atari 400-style key caps just back from WASD!
- Cool! That looks amazing:)
What is the keyboard that you fitted the keycaps too? Seems to match the 800 case. - Here is a couple of pictures of my key caps based on the Atari 400. I just received them today from WASD...

- FO 11:39 AM Developer: RE: new video uploaded
- HDMI, dvi and vga mode are 50Hz (HDMI is picky) other modes are 49.86Hz like the Atari. Nir tell me it's still faster though so not sure why!
For ntsc it's 59.94Hz and 59.92Hz iirc. - XX 10:41 AM Developer: RE: new video uploaded
- It seems to me that at the beginning Eclair is a little bit late but at the end of demo is ahead of the atari.

- FO 04:25 PM Developer: RE: How to check core version?
- I guess I can include svn revision, though will need to find some bytes in the firmware:-) & commit code first!
- XX 01:47 PM Developer: RE: How to check core version?
- Please add such information on the settings screen.
- RO 10:13 AM Developer: RE: new video uploaded
- Great Video nir... If I had your Video talents I would never have time for my Atari 8bits.

Amazing news!! - ND 06:22 PM Developer: RE: Which case are you getting?

- FO 07:53 PM Developer: RE: How to check core version?
- I don't have a method for this yet, but yeah would be useful.
The closest right now would be to read the flash chip contents back. - This would be useful.

- External sio or the internal drives?
I'm aware of some internal sio drive issues, seems to get stuck in a bad state. - FO 07:47 AM Developer: RE: Demoing Eclaire
- Yeah, exciting. I'd also like to see pictures. So far mine only made it as far as the local makers club.
- ND 06:18 AM Developer: RE: Demoing Eclaire

- 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...

Hey, I think isn't so difficult to add directly a 12 volt 1 Ampere psu there! ;-) - 91 07:27 AM Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?

- FO 07:03 AM Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- No, 12v is not connected. Didn't seem worth a regulator for that.
- 91 03:28 AM Developer: RE: SIO devices which use clockin/clock out?
- So does pin 12 of the SIO jack carry +12v as it does on the 400/800?

- ST 11:33 PM 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.
