They also have you a Atari Dragon's Lair?

Yes, I also have an Atari Dragon's Lair, but its condition is not as nice as yours. I am still waiting for some parts to bring it to life, especially the original laserdisc player. I've been waiting for that for almost two years, the seller is a bit slow. :)




   
What they need for parts? I want my Dragon's Lair and wants to sell at least 2000 € I know that as machines get much cheaper but the Dragon's Lair, there is something special, apart from that I have more than 1000 have invested €!
If he is under 2000 € does not sell, I keep him rather than later once the economy still more value!

I'm not sure if I understand.. You want to sell already?

I definitely don't want to sell mine, I'm just waiting for the laserdisc player.

Okay, I am grateful to have once again overlooked!
What about the part from the computer, I need that too? I have a Sony LDP-1550 PAL sorry that I wonder I'm a little confused because the bottom is yet because you only get a PAL player searched? :shock:

From the Mateo's doc on DLP  :arrow:

A PC motherboard with two serial ports. COM1 is for the laserdisc player and COM2 is for the Dragon's Lair PCB. You should check your bios settings to have COM1 at address 0x3F8, IRQ 4 and COM2 at address 0x2F8, IRQ 3, however these are the standard settings of most PCs. You'll need a floppy or a hard drive to boot the software.
A cable to connect the laser disc player to the PC (note that different laser disc players may use different serial cables).


Just use an old second hand computer, even a Pentium I or Pentium II in order to be sure to have at least 2 com ports. The processor doesn't need to be fast, because the gateway software doesn't need a lot of resource. I'm sure a Pentium 133 mhz is enough.

- an IC MAX232 manufactured by Maxim
- five capacitors are 1 µF 16 V
- a red led with a 750 Ohm resistor
- a 5 wire cable (from PCB to EuroDL interface)
- a 5 wire cable (from EuroDL interface to PC serial port)
- a 6 pin male Molex connector (for connecting to EuroDL PCB)
- a 9 or 25 pin female connector (for connecting to PC serial port)
- a cable with a wire nipper at the end to get + 5 V from the EuroDL PCB
- a socket for the IC MAX232
- a small multihole PCB...........


???how do I get these parts???

This hobby require you to do some work & research by yourself... and also a little bit of patience  :-\ All the informations you need are already written on this post !

Sony LDP-1500P should be fine if it has a serial interface. Maybe Matteo can confirm it.
All the parts you need can be found in an electronic shop...

Yes it is, but I suggest you have someone else which has some good electronic knowledge handle the tech part of this project for you. You don't seem to be capable of understanding how this should work.
