Interesting: Jason Moore, the lad behind Atari Projects mentions that removing a capacitor can sharpen up the video signal:
> The first optional mod is to remove the C56 capacitor (shown below). This makes the image much sharper and is highly recommended. It does not affect anything else on the system. I used some small cutters to clip both legs.

Re "much better than any 800XL keyboard I’ve tried":You probably already know it but there were 4 different types of keyboards for the #Atari800XL, and you may have been just unlucky so far.
Here is an overview of the different variants:

It says type 4 were similar to the 1200XL feeling.

@Wintermute_BBS Yay and VolksForth is also available for the #atari800xl! :)

I want to do more coding for my beloved #atari800xl so I created this #fastbasic syntax highlighting plugin for Neovim!
It'll probably work on Vim too but I haven't tested it there.

haha... i got my son, with me in the Philippines, to talk with someone in Poland over IRC using my #Atari800XL with #Fujinet-PC running #FujiNetChat. he enjoyed the experience.

Using CaTer and SSH on an #atari800xl and #commodore64 via #FujiNet / #meatloaf. Fujinet-cater is a vt100 terminal for C64, Apple ][ and Atari 8-bit computers.

One can use an #Atari8bit computer like an #Atari800XL, or #atari800 emulator with #FujiNet-PC to connect to a CP/M #cpm emulator.

There's a 2.9kb binary file that runs on #Atari8bits with #FujiNet that quickly connects you to the Southern AMIS Projects 2026 - #Atari Gateway.
Here's a short demo.
btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D

today, i worked on implementing netsio proceed signal handling in the #atari800 emulator. after hours of dev, I got it working and submitted a PR to the github:atari800/atari800 project.

I got FujinetChat to work on my Atari 800XL! But only after fixing some code in fujinet-firmware to get the PROCEED signal properly handled for SIO2PC.
The fix was submitted as my first PR to the fujinet-firmware project on github. It was accepted. :)
FujinetChat is an IRC client for Atari 8-bit computers written by Urchlay.
A thread on AtariAge about FujinetChat:

Played Night Driver on the #Atari800XL with my son. Paddle controllers should be in Port 2, and the joystick controller in Port 1. Press [Option] key to switch between [J]oystick and [P]addle controls, [Select] to choose track, [Start] to start a game. Try to center the paddle BEFORE the game begins, joystick Up to lower gear, joystick Down to shift to higher gear. My son got a high score of 300! He enjoyed it so much despite the graphics being primitive, it was immersive.

Someone sent me a set of Atari paddle controllers today! Can't wait to try them out with my #atari800xl.
What #atari8bit paddle compatible games do you recommend?

El clon de #Atari800XL, el #RM800XL, arrancando con el juego PAC-MAN en cartucho (si, soporta los cartuchos originales de Atari XL/XE y los de 5200, como la original). Se confirma también que incluye 8 MB de RAM.

El clon de #Atari800XL, el #RM800XL, ya funciona... a ver cuando tenemos fecha de salida. ¡Qué buena pinta tiene!
