+CharlieChaplin Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hmmm, while searching for some A8 programs that appeared in STart magazine, I found several websites that had the STart magazine either as JPG or as PDF online. Alas, while the articles are there, most of the programs in form of downloadable software seems to be missing... So, does anyone have (all?) the A8 programs from STart magazine Vol. 5 issue 2 - until Vol. 5 issue 7 and may upload them here? (Think these were the only STart mags with A8 programs on them.) Sidenote: I already found http://www.atarimagazines.com/index/startissues.php but alas, most of the programs are not available for download there...

+Allan Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 These links should help: http://www.atarimagazines.com/start/ http://www.atarimagazines.com/software/startsoftware.html I don't think they are there. If I remember right, the eight-bit stuff were not included on the ST disks. There is a small chance I am wrong. If somebody can load the disk images in an ST emulator than we could verify it. I have my doubts though because we would have gotten them off the disks and made seperate download links when we HTMLed the magazines many years ago.

AtariGeezer Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If they were on the disks, they were probably on the flip side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If we are referring to the last few issues of Start (where Antic was rollled up into that magazine), the software was on 3.5" floppies to be read on the ST. You needed a special cable or null modem setup to transfer the 8-bit software over to the machine from the ST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I have all the original STart floppies, but I need to fix the flippy switch on my SF314 to verify what's there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I remember they were not available on disk, only for typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've been working on the October 1990 issue of the Antic section. They are all done (I know some were already done) except for Kung Fu Master which I am working on today. When I'm done (hopefully tomorrow) I will post the whole disk.

+Allan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 In the last issue of STart they said they were working on putting together a disk with all the 8-bit software on it from October 1990 to the last issue. I am assuming it never got finished. So we are going to have to type these all if we want to try them. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Here are all the Atari 8-bit programs from October 1990 issue of Start. If anybody wants to help or has a particular issue they want done, let me know. I'm going to start another one tonight.

+Allan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Next issue for me is Feb/March 1991. This one only has two programs and one I found at Atari_Online.PL. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Well that was easy. I found both programs into two different places. So here is Vol.5, Num.6, Feb/March 1991 8-bit section of Start.

+Allan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Your welcome. If anybody doesn't feel like typing but doesn't mind Internet sleuthing, it would be great if you look at the Start 8-bit sections of the issues I haven't done yet and see if you can hunt down any of the missing programs in the Net. With the issues I did I was able to find at least a third of the programs in different places. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I finished Head'em Off today, so I just have Ramdisk Handler to do to finish this issue. Lots of Data statements. Luckily it's just a little over one page. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Here is the Vol.5,Num.7, April, May 1991 8-bit programs. Only three programs this time. This is the last issue of STart and the last of the Antic published programs.

+Allan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Next up is the January 1991 issue with a whopping two programs. I found the larger of the two on the Web so I only have one to type in. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Here is Vol.5, No. 5, January 1991 8-bit programs from Start. Allan Start_Antic_8-bit_Programs_January_1991.atr.zip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Next up is the last issue not done, Vol. 5, No. 3, November, 1990 with four programs. The smallest one is already done which leaves three. This one is going to take a while. They are big with one of them being a full two pages. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Did a little more internet searching and found two of the three remaining programs. Now there is only one more program to type in. It'a about a page long. It's called Windows on Your Atari. I should be able to finish it before the weekend is over. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Drum roll please. It is done. Here is the last unfinished issue issue of Start. Vol. 5, No. 3, November, 1990. A big four programs this time. The Windows program is pretty cool. I would have loved to see some Basic programs that used this.
