Ugh. You said the C= word. We have beaten the Commies in EVERY way. SIO speed, CPU speed, Sound, Graphics. Please don't compare us to Commies. There is NO comparison. WE win, Commies LOSE. Game over.

Let them finish it as they see fit. Please, let's stop this BS and let them finish the game.

Is there a reason that RespeQt 5.1 can't mount a CP/M disk as B: (D2:)? I want to check out WordStar with my Indus. ATR attached. WordStar - CPM 80.ATR

That was a meaningless stringer. This is a good one: f768deaef22da979abcfb73c9175b54d71fcf891666c5449c1969c07c3cc8920

We have it All. :)

Why would anyone want to multi process on an evil commie and slow drive? Use an Atari with Veronica cart and be part of The Great Awakening. Commies are in the dust bin of history.

I use an Ultimate SD cart.

Every step closer to the bare metal is good. :)

I got the confirmation e-mail.

I'm happy to get in on this. Whew... Almost too late. :)

Is @Philip Price still checking in on AA? Hopefully he sees this thread.

Does the squeaking sound change or stop if you open the drive door? If so, it's the disk itsself or the top clamping part of the spindle that sits on the hub when you close the door.

@Poison I think you'll fall in love with PokeyMax. I'd love to hear what you can do with it. :)

All I get is Boot Error and bullshit. Does anyone know how to use this?

How difficult is HP and Epson Esc/P2? Look at Epson here: http://www.undocprint.org/formats/page_description_languages/esc_p2 The pic is my port settings for my hp. JetDirect is still well supported.

Call Best Electronics. Be nice to Brad. He is my friend. He tends to get annoyed by people that ask stupid questions, so beware. (408) 278-1070 Please! Be NICE to Brad.

Those diodes and cap are common failure items. Make sure to mount replacement diodes with long legs to allow airflow for cooling.

I would love one to use w/ my 800XL. I need the cart port not taken by SIDE.

Burn the latest XEGS OS on to a 27128, set a few jumpers, add one wire, and you can put BASIC in the other socket. Simple. Follow the first part of Bob Woolley's excellent instructions. First half of instructions pasted below: A Parallel Bus Interface for your 1200XL By Bob Woolley SLCC If you did the CLEARPIC modification in the August Journal, then you qualify as a 1200XL nut, just like me. No use fighting it, though, you really do yearn for the MIO type stuff that all the 800XL/130XE users have been bragging on. The easy way to get one is to buy an 800XL, but since when do we have to take the easy way out? Face it, you want an MIO, you gotta do this mod. You might even get a disk interface thrown in. There are only two hardware functions that are missing on the 1200XL that are required to run the Parallel Buss - a 16K ROM select and the -EXTernal SELect input. All the other circuitry already exists in the 1200XL. So, let's get a 16K ROM in there, first. The 1200XL OS does not have the PBI code in either of its two 8K ROMs, which means we'll have to either recode an EPROM or use the 800XL or 130XE (same chip) OS ROM. Since many people don't have an EPROM burner and don't want to spend $150 for one, maybe $5 or $10 for an Atari ROM out of an 800XL (CO61598B) is a good idea. Also, it really isn't legal to copy the Atari ROM into an EPROM, even for your own use. Even if you destroy your source ROM, even. Atari was nice enough to provide an easy upgrade path, use their ROM. OK? First thing you may find is that the 1200XL ROMs are 24 pin devices and the new ROM is a 28 pin package. No problem. All of the 1200XL main boards have 28 pin sites for the ROMs. All you need to do is pull the 24 pin socket at U13 and solder in a 28 pin unit. One more address line (A13) is needed, so remove the W6 jumper and solder a wire from pin 23 of the CPU chip (U21) to the top pad of W6. Now, plug the 800XL OS ROM into U13. The 16K ROM select is just as simple. Take a look inside your 1200XL. See the chip that has 20 pins (U14)? That is your MMU. It is the main difference between a 1200XL and an 800XL. Same number of little pins, same number of inputs and outputs ..... But the 800XL IC has the 16K select for the OS ROM. So, lets jump right in and swap the MMU with the 800XL part (CO61618). Fits just fine, doesn't it? Pull out all the jumpers except W11, W12 and W9 and you have a ROM select line that will select the address range from $C000 to $FFFF in a single ROM, like the 800XL. Since the 1200XL has two ROM sockets, and there may be some hard core nuts out there that just must have the internal Basic ROM, get a version C ROM and bend up pins 24 and 21. Plug this ROM into U12 and solder a wire from pin 24 of the Basic ROM to +5v at the top of C11 (just to the left of U13) . Solder another wire from pin 21 of the ROM to the left hand pad of W7 (which should not have a jumper in it) . One more wire from pin 18 of U14 to pin 11 of U23 and your machine has Basic under the covers, just like the big guys ! Now you get the thrill of holding down OPTION when you want to boot without Basic, where those of us who don't do this section only need to pull the cartridge. To be fair, though, SpartaDos will now turn Basic on and off in your 1200XL with the Basic On and Basic Off commands - which is kinda nice. Do the simple mods, replace OS and MMU. Put BASIC in the other socket. Simple. :)

It is always obvious if you know how this works and have been following SDX development. We had 4.49a, 4.49b, 4.49c and 4.49d. Those were Betas. The RELEASE version doesn't have a letter attached. Disk based Sparta is different. There are many different letters associated different versions. SpartaDos 3.2d (X32D.DOS), SpartaDOS 3.2g (X32G.DOS), SpartaDOS 3.3a (X33A.DOS), etc.

Vaseline is thick and sticky. It will make it quiet, but also attract gritty dust. Bad idea. Teflon spray will lube it and keep it moving freely. It won't be quiet, but it is long lasting lube.

Without the c. You now have the official release version.

Use UFLASH and try this one: http://sdx.atari8.info/index.php?show=en_download_release Make sure your SDX size is set and flashed correctly first. Also, make sure you flash ONLY the SDX slot.

Did you get it from EXACTLY here? https://atari8.co.uk/firmware/incognito/

Was it that remake of Barbara Ann. What was it called? Something I ran. Too long ago... :)
