I made a clean spot. Sigh, now I’m going to have to do the whole thing.
It’s MiniPET 40/80 day. The first 10 are numbered and I have number 3! Pretty neat. These switches are gonna take quite a while to assemble and solder. As usual, fantastic packaging by @futurewas8bit I’ve been looking forward to assembling this for quite a while. #commodore
Today’s “learn something new every day” is pretty challenging.
Delivery from @FW4511 in the UK today. Thanks!
Just trying out my dual video capture. Might as well have a couple of them race. Atari 400 vs VIC-20 same program. Curious that the Atari has the same processor clocked higher but is slower in this version of BASIC. It sure was harder to type on versus the VIC. #commodore #Atari

SVideo out on the Atari 400. Have to hold the cartridge port switch down when it’s out of the case to get it to boot but it’s working. #atari
Finally have a reason to use my iPad.
10 minute lunchbreak progress: Porting an old PET maze routine to the VIC-20 and Atari 400 for a project (also just for science).
VickyTwenty ended up being two things: The unsoldered pin on the character rom that was only making contact sometimes, and it turns out that the socket under the VIC was cracked. Not in love with these precision sockets, many chips fit loose. May have to change brands
Switching gears. My first dive into a 400.
