  1. I was watching old Donnie Iris videos tonight and caught this. Apparently he does compute with an Atari 1200 XL.
  2. I just thought to mention that the ZX Spectrum has a Pac Man arcade that uses the original Pac Man roms and runs on a 128k Speccy. https://simonowen.com/spectrum/pacemuzx/
  3. Today I caught a sighting of the Atari ANTIC chip while watching a video on Moore's Law. Go to minute 6:57. Thank you Sabine Hossenfelder.
  4. And there is Millipedes. It is in hi-res mode. Pretty good conversion. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-millipedes_3398.html
  5. I plan to come. I may have a few things to sale or trade. But, mostly would like to bring some of my Atari collection and see what everyone else is doing.
  6. For the first screen loading the ramdisk, edit your CONFIG.SYS file and add a (, Y) to the SCMAIN.OVL line. Mine reads: SET SC=D1:\SCMAIN.OVL, Y
  7. This just last night, David Byrnes and Miley Cyrus. But sadly, no Atari.
  8. I connect the 130XE to either the AV port or the coax port on the TV. I believe the TV lasts about 3 hours on its own while on battery. But, drops down to about an hour when the Atari is drawing power from the USB port. http://trexonic.com/productdetails.php?cat=televisions&prod=103850
  9. Yes. I have powered my 130XE on a phone travel battery over USB. I also have a portable LCD (Trexonic TR-D12) that has a USB port on the side. I plug the 130XE directly in to the portable LCD and prop the LCD on the Atari like a mock laptop. It works for about an hour. There is even enough juice to run the Fujinet paired to my cell phone.
  10. Professor of Rock. Atari 2600 spotted at 9:55 with the Journey Escape video game. However, not the 2600 version on the screen for sure.
  11. RespeQt-r4.zipTry this. This one has the pclink driver. You will also need the pclink.sys driver loaded on the Atari. There isn't a setting in RespeQt. You simply need to have a folder mapped to a drive. Then type the drive. PCL(drive #) e.g. PCL4: Read this thread for some more info:
  12. I just came across this video. They just needed to know that the story of Plato isn't quite over yet. Computer History: 1966 PLATO Computer Aided Learning System Univ. Illinois (CDC education teaching)
  13. Thanks for getting back so quickly. I will do some further testing with various SD cards and let you know if there is any improved behavior. However, when you mentioned "and relies on perfect and timely bus communication ," I realized that I left out one important modification that may be a factor regarding timing. My 800XL is an NTSC hybrid. I have an NTSC GTIA, but replaced the NTSC ANTIC with a PAL ANTIC some time ago.
  14. Hello FLC, I saw some of the other comments stating that the new loader is locking up for other people. I thought I would throw my two cents in. Incidentally, I found a work around. So, I have been enjoying the loader much. Many thanks for developing this awesome loader. I have an Atari 800XL upgraded with Ult1mb, Simple stereo board, VBXL and a Rapidus adapter board. My power supply is 2.5amps. I understand that the Rapidus adapter is not supported. So, after many lock ups, I assumed it was a result of the Rapidus. So, I removed it. Unfortunately, the lock ups continued. I decided to put the Rapidus back in and test different settings. This is when I discovered that only classic 65c02 mode locks up. Any of the other Rapidus modes work near perfectly. In Rapidus mode, I only experience lock ups while using the joystick to do write functions. However, key combo write functions are ok. So, while in 65c02 classic mode, here are some of the examples of lock up issues I am experiencing. Maneuvering through folders or menus will quickly freeze the screen and I need to press reset. Selecting a file using CTRL-C freezes the screen or simply spins to a time out. However, sometimes I can do a copy command from the menu. If I try to paste the item I may get the error: Erase Reset Pasting using the menu gives an error $F9 Using the menu to create a folder will result only in a non-functional folder icon or throw an error $E1. Using Open History will result in a Bad Path error. In the Options gear it will crash if I attempt to change the time or date. Last time it automatically changed the year to 2082. Two years before the robots take over. The time and date will flicker while on this screen. I noticed the SIDE3 red light turns on when I am in the Options screen and stays lit until I move to another screen. Maybe that is normal. Strangely enough, If I manage to get into the command prompt without it freezing, all of the DOS commands work. read/write But, executing CMD.XEX from the loader occasionally throws an Error $E1. I don’t experience any issues in SpartaDOS. I hope some of these descriptions are helpful.
  15. You might find this interesting. There are multi color hi res modes. But, they may not work the way you are requesting. http://atarionline.pl/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1099&page=1
  16. There is an adapter board. But, I don't know if has been tested on a 5200. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/6502__W65C02S__to_Atari_SALLY_adapter_Board.html
  17. MasterMotorola is right. I have a special place burned in my brain for the Atari fuji.
  18. I caught this last night watching an old Erasure video. Blue Savannah. 3:05
  19. "In 2003, he bought his first computer for his collection — an Atari 800XL, a computer dating back to the early 1980s." I wonder if Dmitriy Cherepanov is on Atariage? I hope he is safe.
  20. I'm in the Concord/Huntersville area. I'm up for this. I hope some more come on board.
