WANTED COSMOSEX

[kristoffel.loos]

Hi Jookie,

I'm really sorry to hear that, I admire the work you've done in the past!
I hope you'll get back up to your feed very soon!

Take care.

Hi Jookie,

currently I'm not making devices as I'm somehow burned out from everything I did in the last few years... I'm considering to leave the making of devices to someone else, and the schematics and pcbs will be public soon. More info later.

Real life, family and health ALWAYS first! Please take care of you and the beloved in your family.

I would suggest to make an agreement with Lotharek. He´s well known in the Atari community and make a good job. At least, you will get some royalty fees from him, which is absolutely fair.

... especially since he is already doing the UltraSatan, which is Jookies design as well :-P

I also own a microcosmos.

I wanted a cosmosex, but yes missed the in stock window.

Funny, I am not sure how slow this project took off, but I have never heard a bad word about it, except that it was hard to get.

I had tried for 2 years to get a ex.. then finally got in on what I think was one of the final two of the microcosmos.

I would really appreciate a little more documentation - and I am even willing to write it myself. I found the first few weeks using the device the learning curve was a bit steep, but also since english is my first language and not his or most of the contributors thats also was a bit of a barrier.

I was never able to get it to work with ICD drivers, though it is supposed to be able to. I think whoever does take it over should talk to the HDDriver guys and see about getting a deal to package it together. HDDriver I am coming to find is the best driver pkg out there.

For my ST systems this was by far the best ADDON - I have bought so far.

Seems to be making a comeback..

No idea what "deal" they did with jookie over it :shrug:

According to AF:

Jookie is directly involved, he is still the main engineer so to speak, atari.sk guys just take care of manufacturing, taking orders and all that boring crap which made Jookie 'non-functional' :)

I don't speak Slovak, but he seems to be listed as a team member here: http://atari.sk/o-atari-sk/

They are for real, Jookie is involved and there is an english page : http://atari.sk/cosmosex-3-0/

I was thinking about ordering one, but I have to admit that 160€ is quite steep when you already own a Ultrasatan. Network functionality is of course very kewl, but a Netusbee would get me this for 57€. Or am I missing some other features?

[exxos]

Theres a feature list here..

Okay, then I have to rephrase: 160€ is pretty steep for someone who already has a UltraSatan and a HxC ;)

BUT: If you sum up the HxC (55€), the UltraSatan (88€) and the Netusbee (57€) you get 200€... and then the CosmosEx actually is cheap with even some added value.
