Re: The future of TerribleFire
Luke you need Blizzard 2060 firmware? I have a working 2060 and could pull the roms and read them. I may even have blank eproms to burn.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
That would be awesome - are you able to share what things you'd consider to do with the Falcon?terriblefire wrote: Wed Sep 15, 2021 4:16 pmIf I were to do anything Atari it would Falcon related. I have thoughts on what i'd do ... but not enough to start anything.Steve wrote: Wed Sep 15, 2021 3:58 pm Time for some Atari loving perhaps? A Terriblefire/Exxos collaboration?![]()

Re: The future of TerribleFire
Its honestly unlikely i'll do anything with the Falcon. But thats the only thing that would interest me in Atari land.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
I would have to say the TF4060 is the #1 most desired project I am looking forward to being ready enough to offer boards to those of us willing to test them or purchase! Thanks for all you do and please keep up the great work.
Re: The future of TerribleFire
Shame the market is relatively open now. The number of CT60/CT60e/CT63 is probably considerably less than the number of functional Falcons.terriblefire wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 9:21 am Its honestly unlikely i'll do anything with the Falcon.

There is an interesting thread on Atari-Forum from someone who is doing their own homebrew 030 Falcon card, technical discussions about the challenges he came across.
There is a slim hope for Falcon owners as Centurion have said they will start reselling CT60/CT63 next year. Limited runs. Price not announced.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
I cant get a Falcon for anything like reasonable money. I could get a rare outrun arcade machine for less than a Falcon. I could even get a X68000 for less than a Falcon. So its unlikely i'll do anything Falcony.alexh wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 3:39 pmShame the market is relatively open now.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
Would a loaner Falcon be acceptable? I have one that I would be willing to send you for such a noble project. What are some of the ideas you have for falcon projects?terriblefire wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 3:41 pmI cant get a Falcon for anything like reasonable money.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
Well two things. First i'm not comfortable experimenting on something i dont own and second if i dont own a Falcon i dont have any motivation to create things for it. So its highly unlikely to ever happen.Grizaptimus wrote: Thu Dec 23, 2021 3:09 pm Would a loaner Falcon be acceptable? I have one that I would be willing to send you for such a noble project.

Re: The future of TerribleFire
Understandable, on both fronts, My problem is the exact opposite, If I sell it, I suddenly won't be interested in the cool thing you create!
