Hi; just wanted to echo cornchip's request from a couple of years ago - does anybody have a copy of the now-missing schematics and diagrams?

Very interested in buying one of these when it becomes available!

Thanks again; let me know if there's something you'd like me to try. Now I've got to figure out how to get that pony around the level :-)

Ah, OK; sorry, hadn't heard of that device. As I said, I'm new to the Atari 8-bit scene :-) Anyway, I had the same trouble loading the game via SIO2PC and RespeQT. In RespeQT, I unchecked "Use non-standard speeds", and now it loads fine. Also, it loads consistently via SIO2SD if I bypass the Configurator loader tool and just mount the disk image via the buttons on the device. Configurator might be set to a serial speed that the game loader dislikes?

Good news - I got the ATR image to work from the SIO2SD! After the initial failed load, I hit the Reset key while holding down Option and it reloads the disk image, successfully this time. Must be some compatibility issue with the Configurator loader software that I'm using to load; If you want a look at it, it is here: http://sio2sd.gucio.pl/wiki/SoftwareATARI_en I'm using Configurator v35 I can't find my SIO2USB cable (I seems to have done a good job of hiding it from myself), but I'm pretty sure it'll work once I do find it.

Hi Gibstov - thanks for replying! Cool that you're testing with the same machine as I have. The SIO2SD just connects to the SIO port like the SIO2USB. I don't have anything plugged into the cartridge port. Here's a link to the device I'm using: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=126 I am using an "xex loader" that came with the device - maybe it's causing a problem? I'll try it on a SIO2USB and see if it loads there. I'll let you know what happens; if it still doesn't work then it's probably something wrong with my machine. Thanks again! Edit: Ah, I just noticed that you've attached an atr image - thanks for that! I'll try with that too to see if I have better luck with it!

Hi; I'm new to the Atari 8-bit world, I just recently got a 130XE. This looks like a fun game, but it doesn't seem to work for me; after loading, it just gets stuck on a blank blue screen. Yes, I did hold down the Option key while booting Is there any known issue with this running running on an NTSC 130XE? I think my machine is OK; the memory tests I've run (built-in and extended memory tests from the memory test disk I found on this site) all seem to pass. Thanks for any advice! Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm loading this from a Lotharek-built SIO2SD.
