I already ordered a new video cable. The one that plugs into the video port not the RF port.
And... I ordered a XM301 modem. I'm gonna try to get my 800XL back online! My Dad can't stop me now!!!!!

Just remember that on the xl Atari neglected to connect the chroma pin inside the system. Did you try your current RF setup with your neon signs off? I have a suspicion that they might be causing the interference you are seeing. Title: Re: Atari 800xl links for John Post by: BloodyCactus on May 02, 2014, 09:54:11 am I was always a commodore guy. C64, C128, Amiga..
there are some great stuff for these old machines now. I'm building a new PSU for my C64 that can power two c64s, two drives and allow switching of drives between machines and stuff. no more 1 power brick for everything.

John, please do a Montezuma's Revenge video! That was my favorite game back then!

You can get a flash cart for like $40 that can hold a ton of games.
