  • Anyone with a PAK030 machine?

    From James Schofield@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 25 15:48:37 2023
    Anyone here on the newsgroup with a PAK030 machine?

    I have been working on trying to get one working for almost 5 years. I
    had my last stuff go off to an expert and get it working.. and he did!!
    Very frustrating when your a "hardware" guy and cant get things
    working.
    I get it back.. put it all together, and do you think I can get it
    working yet? nope.. and to top it off I am building it into an IBM
    thinkcentre case and using a PC psu with PC power adapters - one of
    them was wired with a red extention wire out of the yellow 12v.. it did
    not dawn on me anyone could do that.. and I wired it up to 5v input for
    my CF card adapter - LOST a card!! dammit.. frustrating.

    No PAK love here on the USENET eh? lol.. yes I get the idea I am
    actually talking to myself here, since I seem to be the only one
    talking here. I know there is the odd fellow lurking.

    Anyone here on the EXXOS forum? or Atari-Forum? Atari Age??

    Have a good one all.

    I do drop in a couple of times a month, but yeah traffic is quite down
    from the peak. Sadly I don't have such a machine, but it seems like
    it'll be amazing when it gets done!
