No matter where I am in the room, it's like it's looking right at me...
now i got all the parts
-
I just got myself a VBXE2 board. Are there other options besides the 3 monitors listed when using the DB9 connector? Commodore 1084S-D, PHILIPS CM8833-II and ATARI SC1435?
All that cool new graphics power and I can't use an LCD?
-
Can't you put something else in the picture for scale?
Would it be possible to post a picture or two of the new setup (including the ribbon cable)?
Thanks,
Larry
PCB Rev.A:
PCB Rev.A with 4" XL ribbon cable:
PCB Rev.B. Gold plated, a few components more, SDX active on XL series:
Final version is a Revision C. Additional, independent header for ribbon cable. Still in production - no picture.
-
Unless I missed something, I looked on the SDXMYIDE.ATR (assuming that's the support disk), and there is no LISTPART or MOUNT.

OK folks - I'm happy that this RC is performing as it should, so I'm gonna make up the images first thing in the morning and put them up for download.
Tease! I don't see it anywhere :-)

St. Augustine Beach...

can't wait... can't wait.. more features...

Can't afford one at the moment.
I've just received a prototype flash cart with pass-thru from Steve Tucker which might well provide the solution...
I wondered if this was what makes it work so well:
"- Built-in ECC functionality ensures highly reliable data transfer "

OK: I've been underground chipping away at the coalface of this project (ahem) for the past couple of days. The software to dynamically mount volumes is done, FDISK has been overhauled, and lots of other cool new things are implemented, including clusters which allow 512bps on drives which can't use 8-bit PIO mode (Thanks to Sijmen for contributing that idea
). It may not be wise to let all this stuff out of beta yet, but since there is much testing to be done, it'll get released.On the subject of interface stability, I coded up the full-fat DRQ check version of the driver last night. The speed only dropped by 3 or 4KB/s, but it didn't improve matters any with my non-working Flash interface. Indeed, I no longer have the kind of setup required to adjudge whether or not the DRQ checks will actually stabilize transfers on marginal devices. Again, it might be a question of releasing it to see what happens.
I'm (increasingly) bitterly disappointed that I can't get this driver to work with my IDE/Flash cart, since that means that when the GUI becomes cartridge based, I can't use the two together. Thus, I'll end up not even using the software which took months to develop, particularly when the IDE 2.0 arrives. I guess we can write a GUI version of the partitioning software for that when the time comes instead...
Does anyone make or sell dual cartridge headers for the XE? That might at least take the sting out of it a bit...
Have you tried a transcend flash drive? http://www.transcendusa.com/products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=26

.. but what about breakfast?
-
When I try and run IDEDIAG it tells me my partition table is corrupted. I don't experience any stability errors other then from IDEDIAG :-) Maybe it doesn't like 512 byte sectors..
-
How reliable is the RWCRC.com utility by Drac030?
I ran a test, knowing that the MyIDE was instable.
But RWCRC return 0 errors.
You sound dissapointed? Has MyIDE been unstable for you? It seems some have a setup that is stable, others do not.

Things are sure active suddenly where SDX and MyIDE are concerned. I must have a lucky configuration. It's been working quite well for me so I thought I would share.
I have an 800 XL with the 320XL RAM module. I use the MyIDE cart with a 1GB Transcend drive. I got a beta copy of the MYIDE.SYS driver and added it to the SDX 443 image. Reflashed my cart and away I went. I created 4 drives, each 512 b/sector giving me 32MB drives.
I have ran RWTEST.COM and the results are very fast. Around 54000 b/sec. I have also ran the RWCRC.COM utility several times to make sure it's stable. It has so far always passed.
I don't think I can go back to MyDOS with MyIDE....

I just want to say i love your MyIDE driver. I can't go back to MyDOS. I have an external MyIDE cart with a flashdrive and SDX running and I think it's the best. Its a nice pull-my-cart take it with my solution.

vi was designed for old slow machines... the first machine it was written for (a DEC PDP-11/45) wasnt much greater then an atari 8bit, if you take into consideration, it was a multi-user system...
sloopy.
That's the machine I learned VI on. Didn't know it was the first machine it was written for. It was certainly better then TECO

Oh, in that case...it can be reduced to 11 bytes and no parameters are needed. Without parameters being passed, the initial PLA is zero (so that can be used as the MSB of the result).
decimal / opcode 104 pla 133,213 sta $D5 173,235,2 lda $02EB 41,4 and #$04 133,212 sta $D4 96 rts
X=0 if bit2 of location 747 (decimal) is clear, X=4 if set.
USR is handy that way. You can customize Basic pretty easy (just stick whatever result the machine language routine ends up with in $D4 and $D5, and it will be passed to the variable you used to call USR). You don't even need to waste space in your program if you execute it from text...
I have to seriously get back into 6502, there are so many stupid things in basic I wish I could just write USR routines for. Is there something in particular you used to convert the code to characters?

I get a broken link when looking for the beta user manual : http://sdx.atari8.in...-443-manual.pdf

uh... your not a vi user are you frankie?
sloopy.
Actually over 25 years of use. Press : and you can use e! all you like in VI. Yes, it's an ed command, but it works just as well. Anybody know what ~ does off the top of there head? It's a great interview question...
Frank
HA reverses case. I use that in interviews too lol. I also ask how to swap 2 chars in line with 2 keystrokes.
That's a good one! x then p

my favorite vi command: e!
I guess you can call it the RESET button
that is a ed command not a vi command ;')

Works just as well in VI...

Just wishful thinking I guess. Anyone else ever think about it?

IDE Plus 2.0
in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Posted
Can you help a clueless one who wants to accomplish the same thing? I received my IDEPlus 2.0 just the other day. I have a 2.5" HDD attached. ... but I have no idea what to do next. How do I flash it with SDX 4.44? .. and flash the bios? There is guide I missed right? I ran +5v to the PCB.
