(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 (for the planned 2nd batch):

Mega ST	190€
Mega ST+T	200€
VME	180€
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.

The first batch of 50 is sold out!
Thanks to all who believed in us and kickstarted us to the next round.
The ATW800/2 team officially loves you 😊!

PLEASE do not enquire for the 2nd batch down in the comments. I can not track 5 different places in the web, compare time-stamps and contact everyone in a different manner (PM, mail, FAX, pidgeon,…). I will announce the next batch on atari-forum.com when I have all required parts available again. This time giving a date & time when the list opens. You will then find an email-address where you can send your registration to. Thank you for your understanding!

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

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 will start a new thread in the hardware forum of atari-forum.com in which I will announce a date & time when the list opens, e.g. “on x-Day, the Yth, Month, at Hour (CEST)” – this will give you some buffer-time to prepare, get out the popcorn, sell the dog, dig out your ol’ Atari etc… nobody can say “I didn’t knew!”.
Then, on that communicated day, I will publish an email-address where you can send your registration to.

This will then get you on the list. Sorted by the date/time your email hit my inbox.

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.

Status chain is:
CONTACTED-> INVOICE SENT ->  PAID -> READY (to ship) -> SHIPPED
