Atari 800 VBXE installation Agnieszka Bartkowicz 2021-01-24 | This time my attempt on installing VBXE board into not exacly compatible machine.This is a guide on how not to do it, since gymnastics involved were a bit overwhelming at moments - especially when it came to closing the CPU board inside metal shielding. Better approach will be with Slot3 carrier board i've designed, and it should be available for general public soon.Bottom line - it's doable, works, and CPLD update needed for this to work will let cards like BIT3 to work tooBackground music: Hearlight VBXE (game), by BeWu (Bartek Wasiel)
