    The 400 was my first ever computer, I wanted something more powerful than the 2600 and the 800 was waaay out of financial reach for my parents but I was lucky enough to receive a 400 in June 1983 for my tenth birthday! (my uncle had an 800 since October 1982 so had planted the seed!) It was my stepping stone into the world of Atari and I am forever grateful to that little 16k bundle of joy (and my parents!) for hours of gaming, BASIC programming, etc etc. 

     

    Regarding the 410 models, I also find the earlier Japanese carry-handle model far superior to the 410P Honk Kong variants. Superior build quality, easier to service and most of all, more reliable!

    Hi Jon,

     

    Great to know you're 'back on the scene' , was a BIG Multi-boot user in the 80's (and still am today, 1050's in daily use here!) Also, slightly mind-boggling to be playing a new game from you in 2019, loving it!! 

     

    I, for one, would love a special/anniversary Multi-boot edition in any guise - Although I had many different menu makers such as Rob.C, always came back to Multi-boot for ease of use and flexibility.

     

    Anyway, I fear we may be straying off topic here but before we get back OT I'm furiously checking my disks now, my master disks from 2001 is showing a 'high score' of 105 so far!!

    First of all - try to format new card with FAT32. I've found bug with FAT16 and already fix it, but to flash it I need to fix bootloader, so it will be done little bit later

    'Virgin' SDrive.ATR can be located on github.

     

    OK, I've now replaced my SDrive.ATR with the one mentioned above and the delay is gone, all is good again - Thank you!

     

    Still having trouble making another card though. I'm using a Sandisk microSD 2GB, formatted with FAT32 and using the SDrive.ATR, again mentioned above but still just cycles though the four drives and returns an error #$8A...What am I doing wrong?

    And recommended by me as well- Jon (FlashJazzCat) has worked on nearly all of my machines, whether it be an upgrade/modification or repairs to non working/faulty machines. His knowledge on these machines is plentiful, is very reasonable price wise and can be trusted with your much loved Atari!

    Hi alI, I tried the above with kheffington's images, also with no success. So I decided to go back to original settings, but I have two problems now..First of all, now when I boot up there is a 10-12 second delay when the menu comes up before displaying the directory (FastSIO and bootloader reads ??) Then, after said delay the directory appears and all is normal. It's still working but the delay wasn't there before?

     

    Also, I'm having problems making another card. I have a blank 2GB microSD Sandisk card here and have copied the files as they appear on my 'master' but the menu just cycles though the four drives and returns an error #$8A

     

    Is there a 'clean/virgin' SDRIVE.ATR file suitable for the SDRIVE2 I need to download again or something else?

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Just to add, tested mine out last night, works superbly! Came with SD card already set up which was a bonus. LED's shine through the sticker (applied by myself) nicely, took me a while to work out how to actually boot the selected title (Inverse key!)

     

    Great product, great price, great service - Thank you!
