(Pre-)Ordering
As explained on the main post, there are two basic models available: Either Mega-ST or VME-bus (Mega-STE & TT).
Each of them can be additionally equipped with a “real” Transputer interface, so you can plug in 2 Transputer Modules (aka TRAM) and/or connect a Transputer farm externally.
This interface adds an extra 10€ to the base price resulting in this little pricelist:
| Mega ST | 165€ |
| Mega ST+T | 175€ |
| VME | 155€ |
| VME+T | 165€ |
I consider these prices to be very “power without the price“ish and given I’m not a business but just an Atari enthusiast, I will not make profits from this.
Actually I’ll cover my initial costs of 4 previous card revisions and beta-cards. Beyond that, every extra Euro will go into the creation of next projects 😉
For fairness sake I’ll initially accept orders for just one card per person for this batch.
I know, many of you have more than one Atari and like to enhance them all. That way as many users as possible can get their hands on a card.
But you can add your interest for a 2nd card which I will take into account if there are slots left when shipping will start.
Shipping
It’s 2025 and shipping prices are just exploding. I am shipping from Germany as trackable package only.
Also I chose the box dimensions that way, that it snugly fits into DHLs shipping categories. It weights about 250 grams (that’s 0.55lbs or 8.8oz or 0.039 stone – no idea what’s that converted to Ningi 😉 )
Shipping into the European Union is relatively affordable with 14€ (Just in case, for Germany it’ll be 7€ as “DHL Paket”)
UK and Switzerland will be 20€ then.
The US, Canada and Australia can choose between 24€ if you’re patient(*) or a whopping 50€ which will be priority shipping.
*) I had shipping times from 10 to a hefty 60 days. Totally random, no idea what influenced the one or the other.
Other countries, please contact me – I’ll check for the cheapest solution.
If there are import taxes or some foolish ‘tariffs’ applied in your country, that’s up to you to pay these. Sorry, that’s how it works – not like the some people think.
The list
This is the list of people having explained their interest on one of these forums
- https://www.atari-forum.com/ (a-f)
- https://forums.atariage.com/ (a-a)
- https://forum.atari-home.de/ (a-h)
Sorted in the date/time order they posted it. If you don’t have an account there, put your request into this pages comments (need an email address then!), I’ll sort it in.
As soon as production and shipping starts, I will contact those in the list asking for payment (preferably PayPal for friends or -in Europe- SEPA bank transfer) and address.
Should you have changed your mind then, I’ll ask the next one in line. Please answer within 48hrs, else I will also ask the next in line.
