Welcome!

My name is Przemyslaw Krawczyk, but commonly I`m known to people of Polish Atari Scene as "lotharek". I`m rather busy man - till late afternoon I run tank trailers repair workshop - BURG ZABRZE in position of Service Manager. Late afternoon activity is completly different matter. After long day in BURG, only way to relax for me are two things :

- soldering/upgrading and repairs of 8/16 bit computers

- shooting my beloved compound bow Martin Slayer

- riding a bike across the world ( Mainly Poland but WORLD sounds better ;-) )

My "soldering" business has begun in 2003 when my old atari 800xe has been upgraded with 1Mb simm ram upgrade, originally developed by PASIU - in my opinion the best Atari upgrader ever - MEGA RESPECT, Gentlemen ! Since that time, i have learnt plenty of things, developed few upgrades, repaired/upgraded tens of ATARIs. I have plenty of customers all around the world and so far none was complaining to much ;-)

Frequently I use EBAY.CO.UK ( look at my feedback left by customers) to sell my stuff. Whay UK ?? Simple, I spent there two years of my live, improving my language skills and aqquring some western approach to life ;-)

Time has passed, upgrades have been developed and improved... For four years i cooperate with Jeff - creator of SD and USB Floppy emulators, also new cooperation has been recently introduced, that hopefully will bring to life some new ideas in ATARI enviroment

So, If you have interesting idea/project, do not hesitate to contact me. I may be able to commercialize Your project worldwide.
