Mendon Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I've used SpartaDos in the past and really liked it but never used the SpartaDos X cartridge. I'm curious about it and have thought about trying to buy one but have heard that the cartridge is very hard to find and expensive. So what does everyone think of this set up? Hacked 800XL Could it possibly be worth some investment or does it stand a chance of being more problems than its worth? Thanks in advance for any comments.

Goochman Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 My $0.02: 1. Since alot of games dont work under SpartaDOS X and you cant disable it I wouldnt want the machine 2. Ive seen some msgs on the Atari 8bit mailing list about copyright infringement on Sparata DOS - This clearly being labeled as a bootleg might bring some issues 3. You could prob get a cheap 800XL and then buy the Sunmark InstaDos cart for cheaper and not be strapped by only using sparatdos X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I don't understand...couldn't you bankswitch out the chip and have the computer use the underlying Ram instead (kinda like how even the Translator disk works)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
