Comment Re:Atari 800XL (Score 1) 543

Woot! Star Raiders rocks! I got introduced to it back in 1982ish (high school) and eventually bought a used Atari 800 *many* years later for $50. I use it a bit, then after being stored for some time I plugged it in and it wouldn't power up. :-( At some point I'll see if I can locate the problem. I have schematics and an old oscilloscope which I might be able to figure out.

All to play Star Raiders again, if I can figure out how to interface it to my LCD TV or projector.

Is that 1 Gb/s symmetric? Can you get close to that when transferring large amounts of data to someone next door or on the same block? That would be worth paying for. Here in Canada, I get 15 MB/s down, 1 MB/s up for C$45/mo. To get around the asymmetry, my neighbour (with whom I have line-of-sight) and I are setting up a 802.11g wireless link. Sad, but at least it's been fun. :)
