    It's not hard to compile, assuming you have the tools installed. I just did it a few minutes ago myself using Ubuntu Linux in a VirtualBox machine on my Win10 laptop. You just need the usual gcc compilers, plus xa (cross-compiler) and avrdude. Then cd into the directory for your particular screen and use avrdude to program the eeprom_writer.hex and SDrive.hex files to your board. I'm about to go test the new build on my 1088XEL.

     

     

     

    The odd thing is when the slot is empty it does seem to behave as 'off' in my tests, at least as far as the 1050 is concerned.

     

     

     

     

    Yes, I compiled it on Windows 10 under in Ubuntu WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

    Thanks for the replies :)

    If only I had HD space or a Memory stick to install Ubuntu again I could use this route, but not at the moment...

    Yesterday I used my SDrive Max with an 810 connected to the Incognito 800, stock 1200XL and a stock 130XE all with the same results.

     

    SDrive Max is powered by the USB jack through a 5v 2A wallwart and the diode is a 1n914 (same used on my SIO2WiFi which doesn't have an issue when using the 810).

     

    I have D1: on the SDrive Max set as Empty, but trying to boot the 810 is a no go. Really don't think it's a hardware issue, but rather a firmware bug...

    With the SDrive Max powered off, I booted a DOS Disk on the 810 then powered up the SDrive Max (D1: is empty), tried to get a directory listing on D1: and just got an error 138. When D1: is empty it's not really OFF as it should be...

     

    Looking into WinAVR and AVR Studio today...

    i'll provide the instructions and what to flash to esp8266 (via usb) so it can act as unbricker (it will configure fpga so the update procedure can be ran again and flash chip reprogrammed)

    Has this been posted yet?

    So after switching to the other board that came in screwed I set the baud rate to that wierd

     

     

    While there is no indication that this a nodemcu board, I did try as you suggested. No luck. :(

    Since the nodeMCU board and your ESP-07 board have the same 12E chip, figured it should.

    Your USB Programmer just needs a reset switch added to program the ESP-01's...

    still no success to speak of. I'm beginning to think that the programming button was never meant to be used to flash firmware only to program the user portion of the flash. Using the nodemcu flasher and the software bin file this is what the log states.

     

     

    Note:Detect serial port changed.

    Note:Auto MAP serial port.Port-->COM3

     

    Note:Serial port connected.

    Note:Begin find ESP8266.

    Note:ESP8266 ACK success.

    Error:Read ESP8266 register timeout.

    Okay, to put it in manual Bootstrap mode / flash, try this.

    1. Press and hold the Reset button.

    2. Slide switch to Program mode.

    3. Release Reset Button.

     

    This is what I have to do with my programmer board and to put the nodemcu board in manual bootstrap / flash mode.

    (my step 2 is to press and hold the program button and step 4 would be to release the program button).

     

    Then run flasher again...

    I uploaded my copy of the Puff BBS in the other thread in the main forum, something about commercial BBS programs or something. I think a couple of people got it to run. Someone decoded the dongle too.

    Yep, only a few files were missing, but I think we re-created most of them.

    The dongle is posted here :-D http://atariage.com/forums/topic/276208-looking-for-commercial-bbs-info/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4011983

    In that case, I believe I paid WAY too much for one last year on eBay ($180)

    When I was buying gear for my 800 back in 2011, I paid $100 each for two 830 modems, now that was way too much :)

     

    Is this yours?

    Interesting! I checked active and sold listings for Magic Sac+ and found no hits. Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. I think then, the most valuable thing I got in the lot is a complete copy of Ultima 2. I can only find one sold listing for that and it was back in July for $350, missing disc 2. My copy is complete with both discs. Guess that's the winner in the lot! It was actually what personally drew me to it.

    Also on ebay, I got a deal on Ultima 2 for $20, was only missing the map...
