  1. It is just a photo I had at hand, but I performed all the tests with IDE 2 directly inserted in the computer. BTW: After I successfully setup MyDOS partitions: The MIDICar Player: https://github.com/GSoftwareDevelopment/MIDICar-Player can be used not only with MIDICar, but also with MIDIMate modules. Until now I used it with SDX, but I was very curious if it also works with MyDOS.
  2. Thanks a lot, @CharlieChaplin The tool formatted the partition without any issues. However it shows the number of sectors found as 65534 (although I entered 65535 in FDISK). I created more partitions and still formatting via MyDOS was failing (regardles if I entered 65534 or 65535 sectors) and was successful with FMTDIR. I wrote DOS files on the hdd and could boot ATARI from it. I also copied some other stuff, like NUMEN demo and enjoyed how quickly it loads
  3. Thank you for testing. At least now I know how it should work. However emulation is not the real hardware and my IDE 2 still does not work. In the last step - initialization ('I') I get error code 139. I tried to downgrade the IDE 2 bios, but I stopped at ver 1.2, since the interface did not recoginze the existing SDX partition (created with FJC FDISK). Then I updated the bios to the latest 1.9 and SDX partitions work well again. @drac030 I wondered if you could test it on the real interface? Maybe with another CF card, not to destroy your precious data I think I have the revision C (I'm not sure how to tell):
  4. I did one more test - I created a new disk with RespeQt (65535 sectors, 256 BPS) and I was able to format it using MyDos. It looks like that it is a problem with APT partition or with IDE... Long time ago (with old BIOS and with a partition created with FDISK2 from KMK Toolkit) I was able to create 256 BPS partitions, which could be formatted from MyDos. [EDIT] FYI: I use 1GB CF card which I initialized with FDISK (4.73). I have no FAT - the whole space is allocated for APT. I created only one partition (65536 sectors, 256 BPS, D3, A--M flags). As mentioned before, this partition could be formatted by SDX.
  5. Thanks @CharlieChaplin I think the order for option 'I' should be different: D3: /N However after confirming disk initialization with "Y" I immediately get an error code 139. I just wondered - is there anything specific about IDE 2.0 Plus Interface - any settings that have to be changed for MyDos ? Can I use FDISK from @flashjazzcat or do I need to use the toolkit from @drac030 for creating MyDos compatible partitions ? [EDIT] I could successfully format this partition (65535 sectors, 256 BPS) with SDX format command. After deactivating SDX with IDE 2.0 switch and booting ATARI from MyDOS (from D1), MyDos shows: 000 FREE SECTORS when I try to display directory content of D3:
  6. Can anybody help me with the setup? I have IDE 2.0 Plus with a CF card. Like Beetle, I made a 65535 sector partition with 256BPS with SDX FDISK and assigned it as D3. I loaded MyDos from SIO2SD (D1). Shall I issue "O" command first? What answers shall I give? Drive size (in sectors): 65535 ? What about command "P" and "I" ?
  7. Thanks! Regarding a micro-controller between Atari and BT - I got some promising results with ESP32 (no need for OS patch!), but had no time to finish it: https://github.com/TheMontezuma/SIO2BT_ESP32 By the way - I have a small update regarding: SIO2BT and Android 14 I finally got the Android 14 on my Pixel 7. The good news is, that the new OS has not removed SIO2BT app and it continued to work as before. However after I manually removed the app, I could not install it anymore. The only option is to connect the mobile phone over adb and to type the command: adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block Sio2Bt.apk See more details: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-all#security Sio2Bt.apk: https://github.com/TheMontezuma/SIO2BT
  8. Hi, I'm trying to understand why are there only 4 free banks available in my 1088XEL. In U1MB I enabled 1MB RAM, SDX, PBI and HDD. I don't have CONFIG.SYS on my HDD, so I expect defaults. I'm not running RAMdisk (or at least not intentionally). How can I tell who has stolen 63-4=59 banks? [EDIT] SDX manual has the answer: "If there is no custom CONFIG.SYS in the boot sequence, the standard setup from the CAR: device will install one ramdisk as drive O: and build the directory structure on it."
  9. This video explains some details:
  10. And here the post edited on 11.1.2023 (the same date is in the attached main.jed file): That means we have a new candidate 🤪
  11. I wish @candle used version control and wrote release notes for CPLD code he posted here and there at AtariAge...
  12. Incognito-BETA-CPLD-2021_10_04-v3-MOSAIC.jed is (binary) the same file that @flashjazzcat uploaded a few days ago on his web page: https://atari8.co.uk/firmware/incognito/
  13. Thanks for the tips. I meant to call the batch file included in the toolkit, which does the job (copy all files, unpack the *.arc files and delete them afterwards).
