Yes the SIO2SD works with my NTSC Atari 800XL. Also, I just found my old Atari 1050 disk drive, and tried it with my Atari 800 Incognito, and it will not boot anything; still just saying "138 Device does not respond". So it looks like anything SIO related does not work on my Incognito :/ @FastRobPlus: Does real floppy disks work on your Incognito? Could you try boot at game or some other software using your disk drive with a floppy?

+1

Just to let you know, I just hooked up my SIO2SD device (made by Lotharek, that I normally use with my Atari 800XL) to my Atari 800 Incognito, and it also only shows "138 Device does not respond" when I mount a game.atr file to D1, and try to access it with a DIR command.

Would you like me to send the Incognito back to you? Maybe that would make it easier for you to fix this problem we have?

Okay so I found my SIO2PC cable, and hooked it up to my PC Win7 through USB. I then downloaded APE v.3.0.2, and the devices seem to connect (the green LED light are flashing when I turn on the A800, and the red LED flashes when I connect the USB to the PC. However, the A800 does not seems to boot anything ATR or XEX when I try DIR, BOOT, MENU and so forth... It only writes "138 Device does not respond". I am no expert on SpartaDOX X, but it does seems odd to me. Any ideas?!?

It sounds to me that you have the exact same problem that I do. I hope candle or someone else can fix the boards for us somehow...

Most of the cartridges just show a 1 sec. glitch and a few show "not present!". My resistors were replaced with 1.5s.

Ok Well, neither works!

I did enable SpartaDOS X before flashing the bios...

I soldered the two resistors last night, but cartridges are still not working, and when trying to run the latest bios update through SIDE, I can only get a brown screen. Any ideas of what I can do to fix these two things? The battery time is working, and I am able to run .xex games through SIDE.

Thanks. I will try to solder the two resistors tonight then, and see if that will help.

I have not changed the two resistors yet. Are they needed to get the cartridges to work?

I will have to check on this later today.

I downloaded it from candle on page 2 of this thread.

I tried a lot of carts, all of them worked fine on the 800 before I installed the Incognito board, so it is not just some scrubbing that is needed.

I just tried a few old ones, like Qix, Caverns of Mars and Frogger II, but the only thing that shows up at boot is the green SELF TEST screen. I am currently using the XL/XE setting, with stock config and stock OS, and SDX and SIDE turned off.

Me and a friend installed the Incognito board last week, and so far most things seems to work as they should. However, I am not able to use real cartridges on my 800 after the Incognito install. After reading some of these posts, it looks like I need to use the bios-update.xex file that candle provided. However, I am having trouble flashing my 800 with file. I try to load the bios-update.xex file through SIDE, but after a few seconds of loading, to screen just turns brown, and nothing happens. What to do?

Lotharek rocks!

Email send to email address for 1 black cartridge.

1 black cartridge for me, please.

Any change you could post a new link for this?

I would like to buy one! :-)

Put me down for one, if you plan to make these.

Me too!
