uh, 8 was responsive 64 was mushy, now maybe u remember wrong machine...

if other regular carts work and disk work then it's just a fix up and you are golden

depending on MSS firmware if you do not have the padding toggle, you can select a raw or telnet port to deal with the issue to a degree the bbs serving an Atari should give a choice of connection port either raw or telnet and if 8 bit specific should have padding off, or must strip the padded nul

the schematic is missing a control line and the one that is shown might be miss labled the control line that stops data flow coming from the modem can be driven from motor control line...since no data should flow during other I/O almost no terminal programs are hardware flow control aware. They only use motor control to pinch off rx and tx etc to avoid sio interference.. since this means all data sent from the modem to the computer is lost while that happens... it should do two things instead of one, shut down sio and drop the control line to stop the modem from sending it's data. This same mistake continues going on forever... to be honest the fastest responding sio line should really be used to drop the device coupling and control lines together but I forget all that is involved there is some discussion about this on one of these forums... some discussion involved having the line direct to the stop line and then a buffer or rest of the device connected after that so the stop of flow would occur before the lines are cut so as to prevent any loss. The device you are showing was a work in progress. it will need to be combined with others or modified as I suggest. It's close but needs a reworking and possible driver modification.

been playing these 'guessing games' forever. cutting to the chase... before we blindly confuse you to the point you can never recover from... We need to see your mss configs. You should save your bobterm config so you don't need to change it at every boot in ascii mode you don't need to do control key anything... return key works perfectly You should change your mss to operate at 9600 or 4800 to start for most BBS connections. 1200 or 2400 for Plato.... You should turn off telnet padding in the mss You should turn flow control off on the mss after you have all this done and it is working then you can progress to mucking about with hardware flow control on your experimental devices. if there is difficulty in setting up the mss, I could remote in and look it over for you at some point.

did it not occur to you that .58 thats cents for 75 diodes shipped from china to the USA meant someone was getting screwed? Shipping from the US to CHINA has always been ridiculous, anytime you ship from the USA to somewhere else it is pricey as all get out but get something from CHINA to USA costs nothing and you can see something ain't right. I would suspect that once there is a real negotiation the prices will come down for some countries and go up for others as they actually pay what it costs to ship. The reason why the shipping is so d*mn high to and from some countries is because someone has to pay the upkeep on ships, planes, trains, and all the people that move, maintain and handle every part of it. Just think about how much poland, slovakia, usa, and britain have been raped to cover their costs. The breakdown of other countries can even be worse! Say what you will, but I am all for CHINA paying at least the cost of shipping (that's not even profit bearing, just the cost). It will take some time for the rates to come down after the shake up, but afterwards I will enjoy getting much more goods from our friends overseas, just not so much from china. Why does the world subsidize the 2nd biggest economy on the planet? There is a lot going on. I wonder if my 75 diodes costing 1.58 would kill me, or if I would just order my diodes with leds and transistors so they all make it into that 1.00 e packet.. They sky is falling again, the world is ending, Grandma off the cliff commercials start playing omg omg omg.

um cohabitation on another socket wouldn't work for one or the other with a little fiddling? idk how intrusive either gets to be but vbxe replaces a bit though doesn't it?

make sure your sdrive 2 is using the latest firmware, and make sure to adjust speed down for sio if having issues with some software it is in a config or menu or some such thing somewhere...

Yippee the other AVG cartridge that I had is now working!

lol that last post was quoting the thank you from lastic but something went wrong and I wasn't able to do anything with the message. sadly I don't remember what I said. The good news is the other AVG cartridge is now up and running!

go for it all pokey and gtia music bass, and once you got that perfected layer in some midi... that'll be off dah chain... lol

Wiki's always wong and it's hard to make them get it right... so everybody join up and correct zem!

now that I posted to it the thread reads 106 views and is in the list at the top again so it looks like it's working again. weird error...

The thread did not show up as unread for me, and it also showed zero people read it. I hope that this post gets it active and rolling for you David

I like the whole list

You are not miss declaring anything if you use your own name to ship as you are indeed shipping it, the way you are shipping it is indeed a gift, you can declare the actual replacement value so if it were lost you can replace it. If you were using the retail value.. that's on you. Shipper can make claim and re ship if there is a problem. No loss that way. You only run into problem if buyer wanted full retail to them and made the claim. That is not how that is suppose to work. The person selling or shipping is suppose to either refund or re ship...

if you have the room, an unused player or missile could be used to mask some stuff or act as a fill for an object or two... a mix of the technology so to speak. Only fill/shade or mask the targeted item. all others could stay lines or poorly rendered. This is the case for targeting computers. why not continue the proud tradition in our games. but only if speed isn't terrible in that case either!

If using sdrive max atx, use atr not xex, so put xex on disk and then disk in slot. for AVG if it does not load as an xex try to use AVG SideLoader to load the xex if no got try and atr.

I'd wait for the bugs to be ironed out of sdrive max atx... then all of the disk based stuff is no problem. Of course copy to real disks is another way to go..

The!CART AVG CART ATARIMAX 8mb type(1)and(2) Ultimate Cart no drives of any-kind It might be overly difficult to change it back to disk format, Sheddy has done an incredibly tight and nice job getting it to cartridge and relies on the cartridge for some things to happen just as he wants it to. That being said. I am all for a hard drive/fast floppy based version.

SEXY!

If there were renewed interest shown perhaps he'd make time, or let others have at it.

not what you are going to pay with shipping and currency conversion. Last time I tried 89.64 so not a chance... Depending on where you get you memory chips how much you think a 320 or 512 costs? Just visited his site, the prices have come down and are better again. still not what the combo deal of side2 and U1M bundle was but closer to reality. It doesn't show shipping or other factors anymore but does show converted pricing Looks like you have to sign in, or if you haven't... register to get any other information. If he'd bring back the lower priced combo deal this would be a no brainer for everyone.. I am sure it would be what everyone would buy first thing. *edit* --- if the AVG gets polished a little and more are made as a regular item.. good chance U1M and AVG might be a great way to go...

23 years ago, I had the same problem... fast forward and you will see free time never came, you better start planning and making time now. If you do- not only you but your kids will learn to do so as well. It will be better for all. If you don't... nobody will ever have time, free, personal, or not. It won't turn out well. So figure out how to make time and win!

Most run in 320 or less, there are a few demos that require more though.. I've posted the peterson upgrade with antic fix somewhere.. here's a slick 512k for cheap http://www.horus.com/~hias/atari/#sram512k and peterson 320k short instructions with switch mods http://atariage.com/forums/topic/281132-atari-130xe-4164-best-replacement-or-upgrade-ram-chips/?p=4079782 long versions of the mods are a page back in the same thread for 130 and 65 machines
