[CPM/Z-80 card for the 1090XL -- Calling anyone with Z-80 experience!]

will the card allow the z80 to access additional ram etc for mdisk (ramdisk etc?) of cpm fame?

[Porch Pirates]

it will all end up on theftbay, where the fence and pawn are one and the same.

Close, you need to read more slowly the hint hint hints. No hint on a correct line but hint on something that needs a look or possible change.

[Incognito Cartridge Issues]

Make sure all .jeds, all firmware, and all plugins are up to date.

those that report all works for them please list your running revision number of all

those that report all do not work please list your running revision number of all plus example attachments of files that failed to launch

remember not everything likes basic, pbi, high sio, SDX, or all memory extension choices.

[Warnings about Malware when downloading some File Attachments]

this ain't new, remember when they blocked .exe and the like? well now they are .xex

don't feel like we all want to make bin into ibn nib or inb. They're idiots, so maybe we work around it and let them know how silly it is and why it never worked when they tried this ineffective annoyance years earlier with other extensions.

 

Most hacks name crap as a harmless file type anyway... like .tmp test.dat and so on. These guys are elementary lame.

Someone made a carrier box that nicely attached to the vent holes and allowed the lights and switches to be in that, looked fine. Maybe it needs recreation?

[Incognito Cartridge Issues]

Many of these carts do not take signal timing length into consideration for data transfer. The 800 cart port is slightly different spec due to ras cas rather than phi

on cart port ultimate cart gets it correct others can do the same if coded like ult and another that get it right. else

you have to modify cart slot signal with wire or upgrade needs to do this for you which some do. Some might have fixed this with a jed update or or cart boot file on SD etc

[SDrive-MAX ATX support]

– POWER LED: anode (longer leg) through resistor approx. 1 kΩ to supply +5V, cathode (shorter leg) to ground (GND)
– ACTIVITY LED: anode (longer leg)through 470 Ω resistor to +5V, while the cathode to RX output on Arduino board (HINT HINT HINT)

also you can put another resistor value (higher) or have another in series to dim them and keep from drawing to much power from the arduino or power source. (hint)

[MazezaM 8ko version]

also, most SD card readers don't need the menu selection system and can't set images without it, The ones without displays of any kind might require the menu but it's up to them to find a solution. Once he image is selected, the machine won't be using any of that menu memory anyway.

Wait a second - is my interpretation that AVG emulation of AtariMax carts supports "flashing" into the CAR image correct?

it does save the data

I successfully got FloB running on the 400 mini noticed it says the game supports optional stereo Pokey. When the game loads it indicates Mono sound. I checked the .cfg file created for the game, but I did not see any options relating to sound. Also I could not find anywhere in the PDF manual where it discusses sound. Does anyone know how to enable the optional Pokey sound on the 400 Mini?

The 400 mini is an underpowered emulation box in a nifty case, it is not an 8 bit per se' ... I'd check out the 400 mini section tagged incorrectly at the top of the page, click on that and ask 400 mini emulation questions there.

Right - I’m lucidphreak - I contributed some to the BBS Guru’s group, was the guy that found Marshware, dropped names of bbs software I had found mention of that we went on to find for real, etc… i just havent been as active since the switch to email addresses here.. My Side3 and U1MB should be here soon - and once they are installed I’m hoping to run a BBS again..

You can thank Helen for that.

Bad guess, this all shows it can be done, just that other pieces to the puzzle aren't filled in. If you would like to fund it, then it can be... otherwise, people have got to eat, have a place to live, and perhaps some transportation.

[Download Atari Floppy Discs to PC? / SIO2SD / SIO2USB / SIO2PCUSB]

There are modes of write protection on all of these systems including disks

Make sure any installed application on the serving computer are allowed to write

Next make sure the emulated disk is not write protected by notch.

Next that the emulated disks files are not in set protected by the DOS.

Next that the serving app does not have the image slot set to protect the image or virtually protect the image.

and so on.

[800XL startup RAM test fail options]

Depending on device and SIO filter? 10 divisor indexes better

Some some NTSC units did not handle simple us doubler warp well, until the first set of caps were clipped, and for DIVISOR 0 both sets.

So it helps from 52k on up to 127 (125)

[Atari XF551 floppy driver / power switch]

definitely make sure the instructions to fix the messed version board go far and wide but none of it's creation files continue to propagate and ask others make them go bye bye. Anything is fixable of course . The new revision is here already though.

 

The last version 6 looks to be moving along nicely so it's all good. Happy times.

[Download Atari Floppy Discs to PC? / SIO2SD / SIO2USB / SIO2PCUSB]

Correct Atari DOS is usually 2 Floppies to start and you either have to use it's set up utility or poke any others on and write the DOS files.

If RespeQT is running, can you boot disks and pull data from it?

[800xl black screen woes]

Wrong ANTIC can be a memory issue among other problems depending on the machine and it's modifications the warning is correct.

[New GUI for the Atari 8-bit]

until someone kicks in with Disk I/O etc the GEOS project probably will not move forward.

[Download Atari Floppy Discs to PC? / SIO2SD / SIO2USB / SIO2PCUSB]

AtariMax SIO2PC usb devices employ a controller that allows xf551 and similar high speed handshaking schemes that no other devices can do, as a result the USB portion requires that you use virtual com drivers when used with other USB devices, including roll your own ftdi cables etc, so that you are using their usb drivers and not the AtariMax driver.

 

Standard serial port SIO 2 PC rs232 etc will work as is and you can make your own, use an atarimax, etc
