Cool find From basic type: print fre(0) this will show your usable memory...

Not to worry, this one will soon be available on AtariAge for $25 in about a month. I'd like first chance offer then if you do

Guess I should've bid higher than $50

If you delete all the files (except CONFIG.SYS) you should have about 138890 bytes available (total). However, SDX CAR: device accepts only small files (up to 8176 bytes in size). Ahhh, ok... That's what the problem was: trying to add files 9k and larger... Had a feeling that was the case Thanks, Jay

On a good note, I have been able to make an ATR with SicGen and flash it per the instructions If you look at the ATR file, all you'll see is the Sic.bin file when viewing from DOS, the files that you add are stored in the format the flasher recognizes, but are there If you boot the ATR file created by SicGen with the sic cart disabled, you should be able to flash it... Jay

Good idea, I'll look into those... Your from Alzey, Germany? ? I used to work up on the hill at the military post Nice area...

Okay, I'll see what I can do about adding a bin header for the basic files For the bugs, I'll do some more tests and see if I can figure out a better way to reproduce them... Thanks...

I've done some further testing with SicGen and SDXImageUser on my XP PC. SicGen: I can only drag-n-drop one file at a time, sometimes a file will not show up in the grid list, while other times it will. Q: Are Atari Binary Executables the ONLY type allowed? I'd like to add some basic or atascii files too... Bugs: If you add a file and haven't saved the rom file, then exit accidentally, the program doesn't ask if you want to save it first. Found that the program can crash if you try to move the rows in the grid list. Sometimes when Loading a Cartridge rom from the File Menu, the contents won't show until you choose the File -> New Menu. SDXImageUser: How can you create a Blank 256k or 512k image? The rom image created by SicGen only shows 8192 bytes left when it's empty. If I load the 256k SDX 4.44 rom image and delete all the files, it still shows 8192 bytes left? Otherwise, How can I create a 512k SDX 4.44 rom with other files on it too??? Jay

Okay, will give it a try... Thanks, Jay BTW, I received my two carts 2 days ago

I'm getting an Access Violation Error when trying to load the existing SDX444_siccart256.rom with SicGen's Load Cartridge. Happens with Win95 or WinXP with Administrator Setting...

Oops, wrong topic

This is the Atari Search that I use...

What's the item number on that scratched one?

The 1200xl I got said it had "sticky keys", but upon arrival it tested fine. Haven't had to clean a keyboard yet Old?, nah I'm near 52, but don't feel old yet

What Search Words are you using and what Categories? I've seen about 4 1200XL's in the past month. I even bought one of them... There's also been quite a few A8's, like at least 20 in the past month...

Got it, thanks

Which file sharing network?

I would also try just connecting the IDE+ without the hdd mounted first. Then if that works, power down and mount the HDD, be sure both rows of pins line up when mounting the hdd...

That's what I found out too, at first I thought I hosed the i/f. But after upgrading my 2nd i/f with no HDD attached, it completed without any problems

Now I can see clear Thanks...

Could someone post a pic or diagram on where to add the +5v internally on the 800XL's PBI? Thanks... I just found this Pic

Hard to tell with my bad eyes

Cool Is the Ram Chip still going to be socketed as shown in the bottom pic in post#28? That is how I would like mine... Jay

No, but APETIME.COM does work from Autoexec.bat... See this post

Got the clock working 1) I turned OFF APE Time Read in config then saved and rebooted. 2) I turned ON APE Time Read in config then saved and rebooted. 3) Copied Apetime.sys and Apetime.com from the Apetime.arc in the SDX Toolkit to D1: 4) Added to Autoexec.bat: APETIME TD ON Adding device apetime or device ideptime to config.sys just caused an error. Steps #1 and #2 may not be necessary, but that's what got me going... Jay EDIT: typos...
