That is weird that it was copy-protected since it seems to be from the Antic contributor directly.

Thanks for fixing it. I am going to start calling you Dr. DjayBee.

No matter what I do the disk errors seem to remain for both side A and B. Moving on!

Your going to get disks like this. I had one collection that looked like it was put in an oven. My guess is they were in an attic. It's always good to try though. I have disks that look like they went to Hell and back but still have the data on them.

Send them. I am up to the challenge. I took awhile to answer as I had to think about it, but send them. Let's get them done.

OK. I have a rarity 10 coming in the mail

When I get it I will send out some more.

The remarks in the program say Programmer's Institute.

Sector 720 is missing. It is also part of the copy protection, so no ATR.

This disk is pretty neat. This is not just the Antic program listing on a disk that someone typed in, this is the program as well as some pictures that you could get from the author if you sent the him a blank disk and a few bucks. It is mentioned in the article in the August, '83 issue of Antic on page 52. It includes the picture of the dog that is shown in the article.

Kudos to both of you, some fantastic additions!

@Allan Do the other non-original disks have labels? Could you take pictures of them in columns? That's usually a good way to see what needs to be filtered out.

Some do, some don't. They are from many different collections.

Sure seems like I have done a lot more than 158 items.

About 1/3 left to go.

I actually have a lot more disks but I didn't want to overwhelm you. Most are non-original disks but there could be some gems in there.

Again, a big thank you.

@Allan Can you confirm some of the Dynacomp disks are the same as the ones you dumped in 2018 or so?

Thanks for bringing us all the other rarities!

Yes they are. Although I only sector copied them. No ATXs.

Hey all,

I'm attempting to type in the Plains of Salisbury from the PDF scan. If anyone else is trying to do it too, maybe we can collaborate on it? I know i've struggled a little bit on how they do the ATASCII characters, but I've also typed in the BUG-OUT listing, and will use that to check my work as I go along.

Can you post what you have done so far? And what part are you working on now? I can give you some time later today (Sunday).

Here is my resume if anyone is willing to let me borrow any issues to scan.

There are a few members here that have let me borrow some Atari docs to scan already.

Thanks, @djglish . Any issues you can scan would be great.

Posted January 30 · January 30

Do you have a decent cell phone? If you take some pictures strait down, I could clean them up and make a PDF of it.

BITD, I was a member of both MilAtari (Milwaukee Atari Users Group) and LCACE (Lake County Atari Computer Enthusiasts). LCACE is still around as a Windows group. They just changed the “A” from Atari to Area.

@darwinmac I posted the June, 1986 issue of the MilAtari newsletter.

If you got any issues, please either scan them, let me scan them, or at least think about selling them so someone else could scan them.

Since we only have five slots, a multi-purpose card would be great. Somethings like the R-Time-8 should be included on cards that do other things as well.

I like what @_The Doctor__ mention.

How about an ATR8000 on a card?

I can get the prototyping board made. I think the firmware board is about ready to be used to upgrade the OS and BASIC. (There is a caveat that software that messes with PORTB will crash such an upgrade.) A FujiNet board is in development. Also, I have a RAM Disk board, with non-volatile RAM, that needs debugged. Oh, there is also a COVOX board that is possible and for which development has been started.

Others could make any sort of interface board they would like and I've released a document that, while not being a step-by-step "how-to", contains everything I've been able to compile on the parallel bus in one place. I've also put notes and corrected information in the document. It is posted earlier in this thread.

Some ideas: Printer interface with built-in printer buffer, A RTC and configuration board (sort of like a BIOS configuration that could be used by other PBI cards, improved sound card, VBXE type video card, a board to add more features to the OS (the firmware board could be used for this), a hard drive interface, an SD card board, and the list goes on.

I recently put a thread out asking about making a prototype board that already has most interface logic already part of the board...the response was rather light.

Thanks, @reifsnyderb for your comments. There is a parallel device called the IDE Plus 2.0 (for using IDE hard drives) that can work on XE as well as XLs. The XL interface on it is obviously female and is on a 90 degree angle but the XE interface is just an extension of the board on one of the four sides. Do you think that a board like Simius made (attached picture) but with a female XE end allow them to work with the 1090s?

January 29

@reifsnyderb Do you have plans to make any other cards for this? Or at least some ideas that others could make? And do you have some plan/strategy that would allow a larger number of the 1090s and cards to be made would not take all/most of your time?

Errrm ... what?

Yes. You are correct. So my statement was not really correct. I did have Altirra on my Mac when I had Paralles installed but it took up a lot of resources and was cumbersome to use so I un-installed it. I haven't tried any way since. Other than Altirra, I don'y have a need to use Windows.

January 23

Found it. it's '\n'.

Thank you for all your help.

January 23

I am on a Mac so I can't use Altirra.
