Hi Folks,

thanks to an inspiration of BedroomNinja talking about a more PC-Engine like Tapto Reader 3D Printing Design – my idea was born to make the ultimative Perfect Tapto Mister Unit.

I used a broken original PC-Engine and put a DE10 Nano including a RGB-Analog Board into it.
After some triming and some 3D printed peaces it fits into a PC-Engine.
In between of the I/O board and the DE10 Nano I put a Fan for cooling.
I ripped of some parts of the Analog I/O Board used parts from the original PC Engine PCB  for power Button and the PC-Engine Controller Port (waiting for a snac adapter).
I used a Mini Din 8pin SMD2 Pin Compatible Port for analog RGB-Output.

Put a 4 Port OTG USB Hub inside. a tapto Reader and voila.
Here we have it: One to rule and play them all 😉

For reference and thanks for the great tapto Project!

It is a quick and „dirty“ hack. But from the outside it looks great and is fitting for my application.
Here are some pics from inside for inspiration…

I have two Breadbins hopefully not yellowed and there will be a match near RAL 1019
The 3rd is a more „whiter“ breadbin (on left side) and one 1541.

The 1541  matches most RAL 7032 but you see a difference to the Breadbin lying on it

The C64 Breadbin seems to be RAL 1019

a friend of mine Steve Boswell suggested PLA+ eSUN 3D Bone white (Knochenweiss)

I checked it with a RAL Color Reader  and for not yellowed Computer RAL9006 weißalluminium seems to be the best choice.
First try: https://www.ebay.de/itm/174614665194?var=473820383289
is looking good

For 3D Printing I needed the color of the original cases of the XE and ST Series. So I bought a color checking device RAL RAL Color Reader  and a RAL Farbkarte.
I checked several Atari XL Computer in different state of yellowing.

The best looking NOS Atari on the left side has the following colors.

RAL 1013 Perlweiß is best fitting for good looking Atari XL Computer not yellowed

For more yellowed units

RAL 1014 Elfenbein fitts for yellowed units like the right one.

First try RAL 1013

I found this nice looking 8Bit Cartridgestand @thingiverse

It can hold 8 peaces and I stretched it to fit for all kind of needed Console Cartridges I am using for testing when modding the consoles…

Hi there,

I put a Speedy TDS into a Atari 1050 Diskdrive inspired from Wolfram Fischers Version

I got these rare item and it needs a recap…
