Ribbon from Atari to C-LAB UNITOR?

Post by Cosmic Puppet »

Since I have to move detach the unit to clean my Atari. I have an idea of a ribbon cable that goes from UNITOR to the Atari. The unit could just be placed next to the Atari with a short cable that is just long enough to allow you to place UNITOR on top of the Atari so I can move it to clean the table.

Anyone got any ideas how this could be achieved?

Which ribbon cable and ends would I need?

I actually have a high quality ribbon crimping tool, as my new old stock Atari had a knackered floppy cable with no back on the crimp end.

*EDIT* Already realising one end would have to be a flexible ribbon type like on the exxos ram upgrade and one needs to be like the Atari port connector. :shock:

Maybe something like this although one end would have to be PCB that slots in like on the Atari USB power plug ins.

Basically a cable running from this:

To the cartridge port of the Atari.

So like the ultrasatan can be perched on top of the atari with its long ribbon cable. I could do the same with UNITOR when I need to move the Atari.

So I guess it's a port extension cable.

Taken me weeks to even mention this. :lol:

Ah.. Not sure I ever seen such a thing. Might be one of those things which might stop working when a cable is added. Such as things tend to do :roll:

You could make a buffer board for the cartridge port and they do exist but rare. Since a cartridge port it self is rare to get and to make an "extension cable" I don't think someone will make this. Some put their Atari in different cases so they needed to move the port, so I think it was that it was used for originally.

Maybe it was @frank.lukas who had one of these board for sale?

EDIT: What a memory: HERE
