@noelio1974 That's a shame. The 1200XL keyboard is one of the best keyboards I've ever used. I'd love it if some uberhacker would create a device that'd let me use my 1200XL as an external keyboard for PCs. (Maybe something over SIO or cartridge?) I, of course, would not want to sacrifice a 1200XL for such an endeavour :)

Nice work

I have the ST that doesn't have the composite or RF out. It takes a standard RGB color monitor but it has a different connector. The SC1224 monitors do go for cheap on ebay but shipping makes it a $40 buy. I have an adapter that turns my Amiga 500 plug into a standard 9 pin. I was hoping there would be the same for the ST. Thanks

Hey Vulcanjedi,
I'm not certain but ebay might be a good place to look for converter boxes and such, which should change the chroma/luminance signal to RGB.
the dvd burner is usb?
my first idea was to put a full pc (or mac mini) in my 1050 drive but i cant find any small motherboard in chile (yeah. i live in chile)

Yep... Its USB.
I've seen a mac built into an 810 drive before. Very cool idea!

Did you destroy or damage the original case when you replaced the innards with PC parts?
Don't get me wrong- it seems that what you've done is quite nice, but I thought the 1200XL was one of the rarer 8-bits, and I'd hate to think of one being permanently destroyed for the sake of a Wintel mod :(

I did manage to find another 1200 case that had only a working keyboard on it to match up with the innards of this donor 1200 which had the keyboard broken as well as a few keyboard stand offs, so the 1200 world is still in balance with even 1 extra working 1200 in it.:)

Just a thought.. how did you interface the keyboard on the Atari with the PC?

I didnt use the original atari keyboard.
I actually placed in a usb laptop style keyboard that measured pretty close to the original spec though I did have to route out somewhat.
