port. The freezer can unfortunately not be used with these XE models.

Caution:

The freezer electronic and the adapter board are not connected when they

are shipped to prevent damage during transport. The Atari should always be switched oﬀ

to also prevent damage when attaching or detaching the adapter board to/from the Atari

or when attaching or detaching the freezer electronic module to/from the adapter board.

1.1 Verifying the power supply

Owners of Atari XL computer should verify the availability of the 5V power supply on the

PBI before assembling the freezer. Owners of Atari XE computer can skip this step.

First switch the Atari oﬀ. Then attach the empty Atari XL adapter board without the

freezer electronic module to the PBI. Now switch the Atari on. If the 5V LED on the

adapter board lights up, then the 5V power supply is available on the PBI and the power

supply wire to the joystick port is not required. Even so, the external power supply wire

should not be cut oﬀ, but rolled up and put away because it may be required for use on a

diﬀerent Atari without the PBI power present. After that, switch the Atari oﬀ again and

detach the adapter board from the PBI.

1.2 Assembling the freezer

1.2.1 Protecting from electro-static discharge

You should

electrically ground

yourself before assembling the freezer to discharge electro-

static potentials which may be caused for example by the carpet, shoes, clothing and so

on. These potentials can reach several 1000 volts and might destroy the XILINX chip and

other ICs of the freezer.

Also never touch the multi-pin connectors of the freezer

without being grounded.

This is true in general for all kinds of electronic parts. And

though the Atari is not too sensitive in this regard, it may still get damaged.

You best touch the heating or the protective earthing conductor pin of a power outlet.

Well suited, and very common in the professional area, are ESD (electro-static discharge)

wristbands to ground you permanently.

1.2.2 Connecting the freezer electronic with the adapter board

At the bottom of the module with the freezer electronic there are two multi-pin connectors

with 2x25 pins each. On the adapter board there are two female connectors with 2x25

pins each. The freezer module with the freezer electronic must be plugged into the adapter

board in a way that the front side with the switches points towards the PBI or ECI port of

the Atari.

The module must never be plugged in the other way around because

that may destroy the freezer.

At ﬁrst the module with the freezer electronic must be positioned over the female connec-

tors in a way that all pins of the multi-pin connectors are located over the corresponding

female connectors.

No pins must overlap.

The best way is to hold the module with the
