Atari Falcon 030

This was a restoration project of mine from various Falcon parts I had left over from a couple of purchases. The motherboard has had mostly new caps throughout and couple of trace repairs to correct some corrosion. Only the keyboard and top plastic half have been salvaged from an ST (top plastic was lovingly sprayed to match original colour of plastic Falcon base.

As part of the restoration the board also has the following fixes/mods:

NVRAM clock battery fix
SDMA patch

Machine has been fully tested with sound on a VGA monitor (see screenshots attached).

Sold as seen in photos, any questions please ask before declaring interest.

Price: £450 + P&P (Will ship to anywhere in the world fully insured at buyers cost).

Also listed elsewhere.

Thanks

Hi, I would like to know the following please:


1. Is the genuine OTP TOS 4.04 rom chip installed?
2. 68881 or 68882 FPU IC installed and in which frequency?
3. Is the VGA adapter included in the price?
4. Is the metal shield in place?

1. I believe so yes, there's an official looking sticker on it saying '© 1992 ATARI CORP TOS 4.04' (The last 4 in 4.04 looks like it is written in pen)
2. I will need to check, will post the info here soon
3. No
4. The main metal base, main metal top section and metal port strip are all included. The only piece of metal shielding missing is the section that covers the power supply
