(Pre-)Ordering

As explained on the main post, there are two ATW800/2 variants available: Either Mega-ST or VME-bus (Mega-STE & TT).
To make production easier I dropped the “no TRAM” option, which means from the 2nd batch on, all cards are now fitted with a Transputer Links interface so you can plug in 2 Transputer Modules (aka TRAM) and/or connect a Transputer farm externally.
This simplifies the pricelist:

Mega ST+T	200€
VME+T	190€

We still 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.

The 1st batch showed that even having most of the card pre-populated at the PCB shop, the ‘vintage’ and through-hole parts have to manually populated. This results in about an hour of work per card(!). Yes, that did surprise me, too.
Beyond that, every extra Euro will go into the creation of next projects 😉

Also for the 2nd batch I will initially, for fairness sake, accept orders for just one card per person.
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.

All slots for the 2nd batch pre-order are taken.  Sorry.

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 😉 )
[Update July 2025: DHL again slightly increased their international shipping prices by dropping registered small-parcels but now only offers full fledged parcels for 1 to 2€ more]

 Shipping into the European Union is relatively affordable with  15€ (Just in case, for Germany it’ll be 7€ as “DHL Paket”)

 UK and Switzerland will be 20€ then.

 The US, Canada, Australia and Japan can choose between 27€ if you’re patient(*) or a whopping 48€ which will be priority shipping – lately I made the experience that the 50€ isn’t worth it. It’s not that much faster than the cheaper one.

*) 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

The second batch will take reservations by email only. This will make my job much easier to keep track and communicate with the potential owners when shipping starts.

How will that work?

I’ve started a new thread in the hardware forum of atari-forum.com in which I announced the order procedure.
See the big red box on top of this page. All slots are taken. 

As soon as  production and shipping starts, I will contact those on the list asking for payment (preferably PayPal for friends or -if 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.

Status chain is:
CONTACTED ( & INVOICE SENT) ->  PAID -> READY (to ship) -> SHIPPED (you will get an email with tracking URL)

👉💣 I will contact those who did not reply for a 2nd time on Aug. 29th. The status will change to RE-CONTACTED. If you do not answer until 1st of August, your slot will be given to those on the waitlist. Sorry.
If your status is CONTACTED and you did not receive an email, check your SPAM folder (especially yahoo) and/or contact me.
