Atom-Lite for sale
Anyone interested? It's the original Atom-Lite (which is in the archived news section of SAM Newswire if you want to see pics of it). Replacing it as I need the Dallas clock in the AL+ so selling it on (with Edwin's blessing) for a few quid. Any offers? Comes with the boot ROM too. -- http://www.samnewswire.co.uk SAM Coupé News and Info, regularly updated
Re: Atom-Lite for sale
Hi Gavin, I am interested in buying it. Do I need some advanced electronic skills (like soldering) for installing it inside the Sam? The price doesn't matter so much, so just make an offer, which is ok for you.

Atom-Lite+
Just thought I let you know that I've revised the Atom-Lite design a bit. With the arrival of dual CF to IDE adapters I redesigned AL a bit so CF cards can be inserted right side up. While at it I optimized the programmable logic chip a bit so I could add a Dallas clock. heres a piccy of the old design and new design http://home.orange.nl/edwin.blink/samcoupe/hardware/A-Lite/AL+Rev2.1-2.jpg and a small video of the dallas clock test http://www.youtube.com/v/BfYopljlINQ Edwin

Atom-Lite CF interface
Hi everybody I'm pleased to see the list so alive lately. I like your game Calvin ! it reminds me of the early 80s handheld games. Simple gameplay but very addictive. I hope we will see finished version in the near feature. I have some good news too. After a long time I finally have made a CF interface for SAM that comes in a light version of the Atom. Light meaning it is has 8-bit wide databus. CF-card are accessed in 8-bit mode.So no capacity is lost and speed is even faster. It's designed in such a way that it fits in the right floppydiskdrive bay whitout the need to open up SAM. It is also compatible with most existing Atom software (some minor changes are needed in some cases though) for example I didn't need to make any changes for the Atom versions of Price of Persia Lemmings. Here are some piccies: http://home.orange.nl/edwin.blink/samcoupe/hardware/A-Lite/A-Lite-top.JPG http://home.orange.nl/edwin.blink/samcoupe/hardware/A-Lite/A-Lite-side.JPG I've got parts for another 3 Anyone interested ? Contact me directly. Edwin
Re: Atom-Lite CF interface
Hi Edwin I've emailed you directly about getting one of these. Just wondering though, why wouldn't all Atom software work? I know the vast majority will work, I'm just curious. Looks like a lovely little bit of hardware. Lots of wee bits and pieces happening in the SAM scene this year, cool!

Re: Atom-Lite CF interface
Hi Gavin, just replied to your mail :-) Well not all software work because the original Atom swaps the high and low byte and the A-Lite doesn't. This is no problem when writing and reading back the written data. But when reading out read only data like the Identifify Device data the bytes are swapped. The old ATA Device detection method as used in BDOS does not work. These are just minor issues are taken care of in a adapted version of BDOS.

Re: Atom-Lite CF interface
A DIY kit for 35,- Euros + PP This includes all the parts needed including the CF adapter. you only need to supply your own CF-card. A DIY kit + BootROM 37,50 Euros + PP. Note that SAM has to be opened to replace the SAMROM with the BootROM. For 10 Euros extra it comes prebuild and tested. PayPal is fine Edwin - Original Message - From: Frans van Egmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 2:27 PM Subject: Re: Atom-Lite CF interface I'm interested.
