  1. #FlashJazzCat rips into the declining quality of #Ultimate1MB boards from #Lotharek.

    This used to be such an amazing upgrade for #atari8bit computers. Not anymore. Such a pity.

    I think this is a hard lesson for the retrocomputing community in depending on proprietary designs for modern upgrades. If the U1MB had been released under an open licence, we could have routed around quality problems. Because we can't do that, I'm inclined to agree with FJC that the U1MB is effectively dead.

  2. Remember that #AtariXE 320k RAM upgrade I failed to make work? Well, the machine just got a 1MB upgrade. In your face, stubborn Atari!!!11! (I know there’s a new firmware, gonna upgrade soon. Just let me celebrate for a bit.) #RetroComputing #Ultimate1MB
