    I noticed a small hole near the SIO port in my 800XL, and I've been thinking about what to do with it. Since I have to disable BASIC a lot when I use my SIO2PC, I thought it would be perfect for a switch that would enable/disable BASIC. Does anyone know how to wire up a switch for this?

     

     

    Look through this thread::

    I found this PacMan PDF on my old hard drive.

     

    Book_how_to_win_at_pac-man but the PDF is to large to post here at AA. Seems to be pattern recognition and timing to get the most Ghosts and Cherry's.

    I finally got around to copying my many thousands of floppy disk that been sitting here. And i was able to make an atr image. The problem that i'm having is that i can't load anything. when i run the image, it loads an early version of mydos and i can see the files when i list them. but when i try to load one of the files i get an error 180.

     

    can someone take a look at it this and see whats wrong with it or is it just pilot error. I named the floppy Analog 19 (but dont remember why)

     

    thanks

     

    It is mostly Basic, and text files some ASM, SRC, and data type files. I ran the file called SIEGE.BAS from basic on the emulator, it is a game... autorun.sys crashed and menu did not run.

     

    Post some more when you can ......... Love these old basic atr's.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.. This is yours 10 to 160 Mine from 300 to 370

    I added to line 20 M=480:DIM MEM$(M)

    I added to line 140 TRAP 70:GET K ............this is so anything other than Key 'A' or 'B' will reset menu

    I changed your K=#

    to do a test for K

    CLS

    GET K

     

    ? K

     

    Longer text files will pause waiting for a key press after the buffer is full M=480------- try out different ##'s for M, but more than 700 will sometimes scroll off top..

    READ post # 4 again

     

    5030 CLOSE #2:CLOSE #3:OPEN #2,4,0,XXXXX:OPEN #3,8,0,XXXX

    FILE$ "E:"

     

    ,4, READ ONLY ,8, CREATE FILE

     

     

    your TRAP should be

     

    5060 TRAP 5070: and the rest of statement on line to :GOTO 5060

    delete line 5040 and 5050 DO

    5040 CLS

    Hi w1k,

     

    Larger atr's are more fun for me to work with because of OPTION 'Q' make directory. You can put games in one FOLDER, basic files in another FOLDER, text files TEXT, etc.. I usually name FOLDERS with 4 characters (i.e) XXXX so they are easier to type and don't over flow the [PATH] if getting filename.

    The previous posts and the AUTORUN.BAS file is modified from the HSC Bonus Round's "Best of Basic" ATR and another code snippet I got here on AtariAge some time ago.

    Try this ATR:

     

    MdosTB2.atr

     

    This is a MyDos 90k atr. It boots to TB and opens FILE autorun.bas and then opens text files for viewing.

     

    Modify with your title and your text files, I put a few text files on the atr for TB instructions.

     

    This has full MyDOS so you can get back to the dos menu.

     

    Good Luck...icon_ponder.gif

    2. you can watch the cursor-position by looking at memory-cell 85:

     

    IF PEEK(85)>22 THEN GET E:CLS:REM wait for key, if cursur in the line under line 22, then clear the screen

     

    this is a very easy way, it clears the screen and starts from the top of the screen again.

     

    This is from Post #2 in this thread.

    what can be first? menu or loading/viewing files?

    i have first menu and then..

    DIM $A(19)

    IF K=64:A$="FILE1.TXT":ENDIF

    IF K=65:A$="FILE1.TXT2":ENDIF

    OPEN #1,4,0,A$

    DO

    GET #1,BYTE...

    CLOSE #1

     

    ERROR -130

     

     

    DIM $A(19)

    .

    . MENU

    .

    GET K

    IF K=64:A$="D:FILE1.TXT":ENDIF

    IF K=65:A$="D:FILE1.TXT2":ENDIF

    OPEN #1,4,0,A$

    DO

    GET #1,BYTE...

    CLOSE #1

     

    are you using SD 90k ATR or DD with 65535K ATR.

    . E

    . GET K

    . IF K=67:A$="D:C FILENAME.XXX":ENDIF

    . ETC.....

     

     

    GET just scans the keyboard key presses and returns the key pressed.

    Torrents rock.. Quit bitching, people.. Get with the 90s, if not the 21st century.. Build a "sacrificial" PC to use for "dirty jobs" like wares procurement/extraction/testing/quarantine.. Ghost image the machine in case it gets infected. And then use that machine to get your stuff from bit torrent, etc..

     

     

    Yeah!!!!!icon_shades.gif

     

    Hey.. also.. Could someone seed that sucker, please?!?! If you download something good from a torrent, it's common courtesy to leave your torrent client open and SEED IT for at least 12-24 hrs, so that others can benefit like you did.. This is why all the torrent clients default to continue seeding after a download completes. This is what makes torrents work relatively fast/well...

     

    I thought all peers were seeders, and if not where is my Upload bandwith going. As soon as I have 100% I will then be a Seeder. Now at 45.9%, but so are most all the other peers. Look like most of the current peers will be seeder at about the same time.icon_twisted.gif
