  1. Anyone willing to part with Magx 6 a full copy installabel. NVDI latest wanted also. Is there a package somewhere zipped for all the apps and utils for mint that someone has even if just zipped from a bootable HD? Willing to trade for apps I have here if you're interested or could help. Thanks tonyperry_4@hotmail.com
  2. I am posting this becuse i feel it could be of some interest... It was copied from ATARI-forum and is not my post... It talks about SD cards and adapters. As we are now finding it very hard to buy the correct size SCSI devices this seems to now be a more viable option... drives C-P 535MB physical size,TYPE BGM {see partition notes}, on ACSI>>SCSI >IDE {lun0 id0 drive in master ide mode} samsung 8.4GB drive SVO844-D IDE STE 1MB / adscsi plus also confirmed using a sh205 drive shell with scsi mod so older cards will work fine} hd driver v8.16 the method i used using hd driver from floppy adjust all the peramiters of the floppy copy and let it save youll need to load the HDDRIVER.prg from the floppies auto folder go to settings in general driver choices enable restart after reset and unlock after reset and leave the rest unchecked unless you use two scsi hosts lun 0 and lun 1 if this is the case you can enable to logical luns {so you can boot from either or or just one in scsi driver adjuster menu for adscsi plus pro or link etc enable icd compatable interface and also asci speed enhancement fast acsi enable scsi rest on error and reset when booting then reboot before formating in format dont enable the error table format it using an interleave of 2 and when it sector checks press esc escape the sector check or youll be there all day then reboot and restart hddrutil.exe then in partition auto split to 14 partitions { you can have 16 i think not sure there maybe limits} and recorrect the sizes to 511MB and dont set a type leave it at '---' in the compatability menu choice enable tos 1.04 compatable and byte swapping enabled then partition the drive any slack space will be ignored you now WITHOUT QUITING OR REBOOTING FIRST need to use change partition type youll see the type is most prob BGM and all ticked now press ok and let it take the action and quit the hddrutil gem it seem's the type isnt set till you do this and is only set if you do it straight after partition {took me a while to twig here to this bug } at this point the machine will be a bit strange and sluggish so when you quit the app it warns you to reboot so power down ! both the machine and the drive /interfaces repower drive and puter 20 sec later and proceed to initalise {same menu 'harddisk' as partition} each drive starting at C when you do the intitialise the drive will make its grinding sound and the bee will still be onscreen youll also see the menus for sector size etc leave these alone i connected an led to the ide interface jp4 it does go out when this step completes so its handy to have one basicaly wait a few second and press reset {bug in something do do with hddriver v8.16 havent tried a later one} it will still initialise so once reset for 10 seconds or so restart and repeat this with hddrutil FROM FLOPPY till you make all the drives C- P initalised when you have made about 1/2 of them the machine will respond much better and once they are all done use hddrutil to install the driver to the drive C from the install menu in hddrutil and take the disk out power down at this point wait the usual 1/2 a min and power up then the drive will start as a 14X535MB IDE fast drive then click the drive c choose the usual install disk drive from the ataris options menu name each drive as C,D,E etc and a name if you like and then once all the icons are done and youve alligned them on the screen save the desktop reboot and there is your 14 drives ready open drive p i found i had to save the desktop with all the icons and at first drive F-P were not avalible i simply rebooted from the hddriver floppy and reinstalled the driver from the menu in hddrutil.prg seems the driver wont install correctly till all the icons are there and saved to a desktop.inf on drive c and again reboot so... gives around ~1300Mb/Sec and an access time latency time of 14ms or so..... this is better than most scsi drives small 8-10GB ide drives are best suited most makers i tried allow the interface to project the right size to hddriver see above for how to use several ide drives on one cable and switch them off when you want to change them just from the power this scsi->ide interface is only for one ide drive on one scsi id you can have a few of them thou but you still have the choice of master or slave as hd driver likes it ....like id->0 master id->1 slave id2->master id3-> slave as physical ide drives however i didnt prove this as the ide is alive in scsi and for all purpose will appear as scsi to the driver maybe???
