    Good news! I received the SIO2SD adapter earlier today, so i put that firmware.atr on it. Fired it up, and it worked first time, and updating went without a hitch! After getting used to some of the new layout and changing some of the settings I now have a fully working updated Incognito! :D I even put on the original Uflash.xex and (firmware update).rom files and fired it up to see if they were recognised (when they previously weren't), and this time they were found! Which means I should be future proofed for any further updates in the future! Huzzah! :D

     

    Many thanks for your help FJC! :)

    Well, the madness continues.... I decided to have another crack at it today. So here is how far i got so far.

     

    Thinking it maybe a possible compact flash issue i decided to try this out (the APT Toolkit SPX ATR):

     

    http://atari8.co.uk/apt/toolkit/

     

    It seemed to recognize the compact flash ok. But i also decided to attach the firmware.atr image as D2: (the APT as D1:). I loaded from the Side loader, and lo and behold, it recognized that firmware.atr image!!! I executed the uflash.xex and on loading i was presented with a "RAM OS Required. DOS is using OS RAM" message. I carried on and now the .rom files that are used for the upgrading are now recognized on that firmware.atr image!!! I haven't tried anything beyond this point as i'm not sure about that earlier message (i will include screen grabs at the bottom), and i am clearly a noob at this and don't really know what i'm doing! :-P

    Yes, I haven't touched it in the update department since you installed/repaired it for me a couple of years ago. Anyway, below is the screengrab of D3: (does that look right). I will have another bash tomorrow, possibly later on tonight. Is there anything else I should try? Is that atr you put together above 100%? If all else fails I will try the sio2pc/sd thingy. Having said that, even if I can't update the thing, it won't be a massive loss - as it works fine the way it is, just a shame really.

    Its frustrating. I select the atr image in the side loader using space (and D1: appears beside it), i then reset so it goes back to setup, then press the C button to coldboot to SpartaDos X, type in the command you said and i get the above message. I'll get a screengrab of the D3: partition later and see what you make of it. I'll have another bash at it later, but if i can't get anywhere i'll try the SIO2SD method you suggested.

    Hi

     

    OK I have followed your instructions, I assume the only way to get from the loader back to the setup menu is by using the reset button. Unfortunately when I try this I get a device does not respond message (see photo below). Has this anything to do with the way my compact flash is setup? It is fat32 formatted, but is recognised just fine under side loader.

    Hi

     

    So I've been trying to upgrade the firmware on my Incognito available from the FJC website:

     

    http://atari8.co.uk/firmware/incognito/

     

    So after installing the said files onto the CF card, i can successfully launch the uflash utility from the Side Loader menu. Now, the problem I have is that for some reason when I go to (attempt) to select the said .ROM files for updating the bios, etc, I can't seem to find them! Anyone have any clues? :-/

     

    Thanks for your time

    Hi

     

    I'm on the lookout for an Atari 800 top lid/flap. Must be in good condition. Will also consider buying faulty/spares full Atari 800 units.

     

    Thanks for your time

    Hi

     

    I'll probably get laughed at from all corners of the globe, but i am after the GR8 conversion of Bomb Jack, aka Bomb Jake for the Atari XL/XE (in cartridge form) - similar to the pic below, so if anyone has it please get in touch (am willing to pay $$/££!!)

     

    Thanks for your time!
