mr-atari Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Version #7 of the MyIDE_ONLY will run on any 400/800, 8k minimum.Full MyIDE-partition access, even SIDE-loader works great. (Tested on a XL with 400/800 BIOS) Was fun compiling this version, also added 1200XL-rev10 support. http://www.mr-atari.com/Mr.Atari/MyIDE-ONLY/ I did not have time to do the mod yet, but will do that soon. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-atari Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) OK, Done..... Works great. Will take 1 hour of your time. I totally forgot how many screws and metal you need to remove, before you can get to it. One wire, one cut, schematics confirm that on the RIGHT-slot pin A = PHI-2 Brilliant mod, why didn't I read this before.... Since the cartridge+CF does not fit under the hood, you need to leave the lit open. This requires a second mod, to disable the safety ON/OFF circuit. Very easy, just a wire-bridge, see picture. All works great: SIDE-loader, MyIDE_ONLY with all needed hotkeys. Edited February 6, 2018 by mr-atari 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just heat up a pad on the PCB under the door switch, Flow solder onto it, then heat the other pad and flow it all together. In other words, it is quick and easy to 'blob' them. No need for a wire. The excess solder (should you want to reverse this) can be easily removed by sucker or wick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) where is the cut made on 800 board, can you highlight that on the picture with the wire? Edited August 11, 2019 by Wrathchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 OK, looks like it is to the bottom right of the other port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Bump... Any other folks do this mod with good results? And there was at least one report of MyDos not working properly. Anyone else find this to be the case? I can't understand why if the mod was successful, MyDos would have issues, assuming that the partition, etc. was properly set up.

Bikerbob Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I dont think I have this done in my machine with incognito. I got my incog around 2018 - Followed the instructions.. I see this was found much earlier, but not sure the instructions were updated. I am currently having issues with the Express!Cart.. so this might be an issue I have as well.

bandit Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 With Incognito, can not get it working with board upgrade and with the #7 upgrade, However It will work somewhat running in colleen mode. To bad, I like the MyIde2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyIDE_only is a term I gave to my code. It means that the IRQ-routines (disk-IO) of the resident OS is patched to support MyIDE (any version), instead of installing a complete (soft) OS. All code needed to do this is stored in the SRAM of the MyIDE-cartridge. Making it compatible with software that uses RAM at $C000+ and other BIOS specific entries.
