Hi I'm looking for the original version of the MAC/65 Assembler cartridge by OSS. Please PM me if you have one to sell or swap. Thanks. Binarius Geekius

Hey all, The disk I posted had a few things that needed revising. I usually only work on the Omnimon OS, but when I ran it with the stock OS the Authenticate had changed and a bail out ALWAYS resulted in capture. Fortunately, the fix was very simple and now they work the same on the stock, Omnimon and Omniview OS's. If somebody could delete the above file, I would be most grateful. I've posted the revised copy. Since some of you would like to make just your own favorite mods to the program, I've also posted a list of the mods. You'll need a sector editor to make your changes. 1) Authenticate - Sector 152, byte 70. From 0A D2 to 00 D8. 2) Always Rescue on Bailout - Sector 126, byte 2A. From 0A D2 to 00 D8. 3) Max Starting Fuel - Sector 119, byte 10. From 5A to 7F.b 4) Max Fuel with Tanks Dropped - Sector 131, byte 5A. From 34 BC to 00 7F. 5) Unlimited Gun Ammo - Sector 229, byte 24. From 4C 18 70 to EA EA EA. 6) Max Bombs and Missiles - Sector 199, byte E. From 4C DB 61 to EA EA EA. 7) ECM Always On - Sector 195, byte 2B. 20 FD 78 to EA EA EA. Note - Once the ECM is activated, it stays on even though it is silent. Regards, Rick Atari F15 Mod FIXED.ATR

Working off the real disk.

The missiles are unlimited in the unmodified game. When you are out of, say, medium missiles, press the S to arm the short range, and then press M. Now fire the missile, and lo, no missiles are subtracted. Works with both short and medium missiles.

Hi Folks I started playing around with F15 Strike Eagle to see if I could get some additional fuel. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up with this. 1. Unlimited fuel. Drop your tanks before the fuel hits about 14K, and you'll have 30K. You can do this again and again. 2. Always rescued on bail out. 3. Unlimited gun rounds. 4. Unlimited bombs and missiles. Just hit the fire button and the missile will fire. No need to select a missile. 5. You missiles are just relentless and stay in the air for quite a while. If there is an enemy plane, your missile will hunt him down. 6. Authentication is always "G". I've had a blast with this. F15 Strike Eagle Mod.ATR

Any luck with an updated file yet?

I can provide the Control and Shift keys. PM me with your address. Rick

I have about a gazillion of these boards and can provide one, but they are not PAL. If one of these can work, lemme know your address. Regards, Rick

Hi Folks, I'm looking for the Atari ST Happy Discovery Cartridge. Please PM me if you have one for sale or know where I can get one. Thanks! Regards, Rick

Partitions I'm sure. Just not going to pop the top to see if more than one are installed (if even possible). And you're right. I'm old enough to remember the days of MFM and RLL drives.

OH. MY. GOD. Had the sonofabitch hooked up to the external instead of the internal drive port. Hard drives show up and they are loaded. This is gonna be fun to play around with. Thanks all for your help.

You mean the Megafile uses an SCSI disk? I have a Gotek, but I'm just checking the hard drive out. Got this, an SC1224, two 1040STF's and a bunch of disks for $255 delivered.

Uh-oh. I'm not using one. I take it I should be? I do have an ICD hard disk program with quite a few programs on it.

By the way, I did get the cable from Best Electronics, and do have an IDE to USB adapter if drive troubleshooting is needed.

Hi all I have an Atari Megafile 30 Hard Drive. When I boot the ST, should I see the hard drive or do I need to load something else? Both lights of the Megafile do light when powered on, but that's the extent of my Megafile experience. Thanks for the help. Regards, Rick

rdea6, Can you please format a disk and write DOS 2.0 to it, place the checksum program on it, and convert it to an ATR file please? I just cannot create an ATR disk, though I can write the ATR disk out. Everybody else can seem to do it, but it drives me nuts. I would be most grateful if you could do this. I really want to see how the checksum is created, and .I've learned how to load and run a BASIC file. Thank you very much. Regards, Rick

Hi rdea6 Thanks for the reply. Just my luck that I don't know a lick of BASIC. In fact, can't even load or run one of them. And this is even if I'm able to get this into ATR mode to get it on a disk. I'm good with MAC/65 but helpless in other areas. Perhaps you could book a plane ticket and fly out here. HAHAHA. Thanks, though. Rick

Hi all Speaking of a custom OS, how do I go about calculating the checksum? Thanks Rick

Sunofabitch! Copying the original disk with the SuperArchiver set to skew and then copying the large tracks with the Bitwriter did the trick. Whatta ya know!

Hi tep392, Just installed the Bitwriter today, and this thing is pretty bad-assed. I've been able to copy One-On-One, but not Syncalc so far. Boy, you're right. It is pretty fun, and harkens back to the days of yesteryear. It's like living an episode of The Goldbergs. I've tried a few different disks and have copied the disk using skew alignment, and then copying the large tracks with the Bitwriter. No luck so far. Any chance you can post how you copied it? Thanks! Rick

Hi Russ, Little confused here. Do you mean that the Quebec models are inferior? I don't think you do, but it's a little ambiguous (to me). Especially since I did buy the Quebec model from Retronic Design. Thanks Rick

As usual. level of demand is very high. "Confusing" information ? - well, if you expect some concise manual what will understand without some basic knowledge about subject, you are wrong, Use Internet to learn some things. Be patient. Man can not learn everything in shirt time, at once, . Actually what I said was the information was confusing...by my standards. Haha. Just something with an elementary school primer that I can learn the basics on.. After that I can figure the rest out. You also gave some good info on images. The gamearchiver is a great image site once I figure out how to use them. Thanks. This will work out pretty well.
