Apologies if this has already been posted or if it's too off topic. Paul Laughton, author of Atari Basic, has created BASIC! for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rfo.basic Also, the manual is called "De Re Basic!" Very cool!

Sad to hear bob klass died. He hooked me up with a couple of 1050s back in the mid 90s when I was getting back into the 8bit. 20 buks for the 1050s, shipped!

If they ding you on Antiques Roadshow, when they finally get there, is when it's not an Atari, lol. "If it only had it's original smokers patina and no VBXE it would be worth 10k for insurance purposes." LOL

atari8warez, Nobody is worried about your threats. You can't close anything. AspeQt is distributed under the GPL. You can't take away my rights.

The most treasured item in my Atari collection is my Commodore 1702 monitor.

He was pretty old perhaps he just wanted to retire.

I think this thread's been dumped on enough. You crying too? Good - maybe the tears will make the Gremlin cartrdige multiply

...and this is why I stopped posting on these forums. I've got real jobs, real work to do. It's not even that significant of find; we've all got the 5200 version and it is just about the same thing. The differences will be very minor at best. It's interesting from a historical perspective, but not this jump-up-and-down Holy Grail thing. If this was a totally unknown item (say, a 400/800 version of Liberator) that would be one thing. But this is a variation on a 5200 game we've all played. If I wanted to show off, I would be posting photos of my collection or making links to overpriced auctions. I guess most of you must not have any other interests, or have really easy jobs. I have other things in my life besides the Atari collection. I love it, but I am also involved in a lot of other things. I work for one of the US Olympic teams and we are wrapping up our season. I have two engineering jobs and I work as a consultant. I just got married and I'm trying to make getting my Atari collection unpacked less of a priority than getting our life going. Perhaps I'll just send the dups to Bruce Carso and then you can all buy the cart from him--his prices are very reasonable--and leave me out of it. Less crying, more dumping, please.

I guess you guys missed the part where I said until you get everything else you need.

If you're mainly interested in BASIC and have a disk drive issue, you can consider just using an emulator and leaving the 600xl in the closet until you get everything else you want/need. Good luck!

Yah I vowed never to purchase from Video61 after I read something he posted in 2001 about how his "Jewish Lawyer's love money" Usenet post Is this guy for real?

or maybe just add a serial card?

This is simply an Atari binary executable, what you'd normally see as COM or EXE on a DOS listing. The problem you're seeing is due to this binary having parts that will load over the DOS you are running. Try this ATR instead. Ahhh yes, working now - thx. I'm using a 1200xl with an 800xl os. Shutting down Eve Online so I can check this out Eric

How do you run this on a real machine? I've tried running it from Mydos and 2.0S - no luck. Mydos just stops loading and Dos 2.0S gives error 164. I I think running from the PC mirror via ape was the same as Mydos. I guess I'm not familiar with an xex file - what is it?
