Because I have the problem with one of my XL-boards: How to reliably reverse a "trace cut"?

I should have written: "We can discuss for years without a result that satisfies everybody..." I do not agree: If a device provides a working port, it should be called like "Atari USB port". But what we are talking about is a device that acts like a bridge from SIO TO USB, so I call it SIO2USB. And in my eyes that´s more correct than "SIO2PC", as that implicates, that the device is only for connecting SIO to a PC, and that is not true. It provides a connection to ANYTHING that uses USB. So "SIO2USB" is correct. I know that there is a device called "SIO2USB", but only that the developers calls it like that, it does not mean that this is the one and only correct name for it. I would call it "SIO2USB-Stick" as its only purpose is to connect a USB-Stick. Also this is not 100% correct too, but right now I am too drunk to explain it in a language, that´s not my mother tongue. But we are A VERY LITTLE BIT off topic now...

Hi Mathy, we could discuss about name conventions, but if you look at my interface, it is a connector between the Atari SIO-Port and a MiniUSB-Port, this is why I call it "SIO2USB" or in this case more correctly "SIO2USBmini". I never liked the term "SIO2PC" very much, for two reasons: 1. It does not give you any clue about how the connection is made (sub d or usb) 2. You now I am a Mac user, and "PC" for me always means Windows PCs. That´s misleading as it works with PC, Mac and Linux. So I would not call it "SIO2PCviaUSB". Maybe "SIO2PC/MAC/LINUXviaUSB", but that´s a monster.

100% agreed. Mine does run some Windows 3.1 and 95 installls, but nothing new. First: For me the best Atari-Emulator by far is Atari800MacX, get it there: http://atarimac.com/ You can use it for free, but I like it so much that I donated some money twice. I guess that you still have your Atari-Disk drive? For me the way to go would be to create a SIO2USB, connect your Diskdrive with your A800 and the A800 with your Mac. Then you can copy any disk to the Mac using SIO2OSX (get it where you get Atari800MacX). My preferred SIO2USB interface is described there: http://www.abbuc.de/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6102&p=46252&hilit=sio2usb+mini#p46221 Best regards, Sascha

GTIA is not only responsible for Gfx and PM but also for the keyboard click. The Atari 400 and Atari 800 had an internal speaker which was for that click. Listening to Beep `em all is pure joy on an A800.

This a NTSC machine, I guess?

As they are planning a new, better version, I would not buy the old one. One Tempest is enough.

I know. RastaConv 5.1b is what I am using.

phaeron´s version? Honestly: This has become really complicated. I´ve entered the thread late and am still confused. Too much different information spread over too many pages. For now I am happy to be able to create .xex pictures with what I assume was the latest version posted here.

Finally I found some time to test this too, so this is only proof of that I am using it now, quality is not too good, still have to test all the settings: There´s the executable: fc.xex And here´s my attempt to keep the cores busy, but I fail:

Huh, I think the second order was just about adding two ribbon cables. He´ll check. Anyway, I am sure we will find buyers if those two are too much.

Wonderful. But you listed (and counted) dl7ukk twice!?

The software is available freely and runs without any burner connected, I've just installed it: http://down.autoelec...nipro_setup.rar Screenie:

Looking great. Can you confirm from own experience that it works with Windows 7 (and additionally, really burns ATMegaXX) ? Then this will be my choice.

Maybe there are Skodas for that little money, but no real cars And everything for free is the end. Open Source is great, but it doesn´t mean "for free". How much is shipping from Slovakia to Germany? A little old car too?

atarixle just released the official Fujiama 2013 page, already 17 registrations: http://www.abbuc.de/~atarixle/event/fuji2013/invite_de.html#zusagen

The disadvantage of cartridges is, that there are no free updates. Not more is what I see here. To be rude ( = honest) : I would prefer to have something completely new instead of doing small changes to something existing that already is great. At least the software. The cartridge label is made quite cheap and not woth a penny, GR8 software does a much better job there.

Yes, but nontheless I want the programs to be available from the ABBUC website, I am just redoing the pages and it will take some time, but when I've finished, they should be available from there. @pixelmischief: There shouldn't be a need to register. Some Downloads are public, some are for ABBUC members (which does NOT mean registered at the website!) only. I will check that for you. But at least as a registered user you can also use the ABBUC forums, so you could do me a favor and write your request there again (no problem if you do it in english), so that the site admins become aware of it too. I am quite busy right now and so things might take a while...

Your mission: - go to Google Picture Search - type "Atari Breakout" into search field or click the link: https://www.google.com/search?q=atari+breakout&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=hlORUdrkC4TVtQbYp4CwDA&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=681

Edit: The correct title is "Dev War". (singular) Sorry for the mistake, Cliff.

Or just build your own Mini USB - adapter for use with Mac/Linux/PC: http://www.abbuc.de/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6102&hilit=usb+mini

You might need drivers: http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html
