There is a board you can plug into the GTIA socket that makes the conversion to PAL simple, making this a great Demoscene and Homebrew games device as well. There was much discussion about the design of this Atari and it was eventually decided (after discussing Cart Tunnels, SDRive-MAX’s etc.) that an internal Fujinet would be a good idea and effectively make the NUC+ a self contained unit, with enough flexibility and power to make it an ideal machine for taking with you for a games night with friends or what have you. Michael came to me at the start of this project to see if I was interested in designing a case for it so I was lucky enough to get some input into the design right at the beginning so making a case was easier for me. A PS/2 keyboard plugs in via a TK-II interface and even handles the On/Off functionality. This Atari boasts 2 OS slots and 4 Cart slots in the ROM.

Originally to be a portable arcade like machine, the design has evolved and now we have the world’s smallest Atari 8bit instead.īased on the Atari XEGS and upgraded with improved graphics output and an extra 512K of memory. After the 1088XEL and the 1088XLD, Myteks next project has taken a different tack.
