    Well.... It works.. but the device mangler still doesn't recognize it. But it does work. I was frieking out because the device mangler didn't recognize.  I also put it on a 4 port hub and its playing nice now.

    But I still have a unrecognized descriptor in device mangler.

    When I was running 64bit win 7 I did get the Atarimax driver info but now I don't.

     

    restarted APE and it said USB mode was good. 

    Got a ration about virtual and serial ports but last line was that APE was ready.

    loaded an ATR and hit restart on computer and it loaded.

     

    Thank you for your support!

    I have an Atarimax APE and I cannot seem to find drivers for the unit for Windows 10.

    The drivers on the disk are 64bit, however Win 10 doesn't recognize the device.

    I can never seem to get a response to be registered on their forum but it don't matter as the drivers dont seem to exist for Win 10 on the forum.

     

    Has anyone got the APE to work in windows 10?

    Is there a way to force Win 10 to use the drivers from a different platform? say win 7 64bit?

    A DA input card would be awesome! 8 analog and 4 digital would turn an Atari into a PLC. Voyager 1 and 2 left with an 8 bit, the Shuttle left with the first laptop but it was triple redundant and as well the had a thing called majority rules. pretty frieking cool!

    Well I resurrected a 1050 Happy from numerous drives and attempts as well as a bad power supply which was problematic to say the least.

    However, when I run Happy Software Suite 6.6 it states that no happy drives are present. It works great as a disk drive and all the lights work with the switches.

     

    I am using Sdrivemax to load the ATR file and it loads but with no access to the physical floppy disk 1.

     

    Do I need to send my ATR to a floppy? How would I do that?

    Do I need to plug in my SIO2PC USB from Atarimax to read disk speeds. I did use that to set the RPM on my disk drives but that was prior to using the 1088XLD. OR Spartados!

     

    Any 1050 GODS out there please respond...

    Well I have completed the OS mod chip swap by using 28 pin sockets and they drop right in. Modding a 1200XL for a myIDE upgrade, or was it a 512k upgrade i forget.

    I used Component carrier sips for the 0 ohm resisters which would make it a little easier if you need to revert back to original. And you can just put the original chips back in the correct pin sockets.

     

    Peace fellow 1200xl dude!

    albeit I was a couple of drinks into it but here are my pics of the bare 1200XL MB that I took.

    I am truly blown away by this mod! My VBXE never worked. My original Sophia-C never worked. My GBS8200 WITH RGB2VGA for XLD worked but always required resetting and it was in PAL color scheme.

    I have upgraded a 1200XL to Super Video ver 2 and that was very clean, however this screen is so sharp I might cut my fingers tracing a line on the monitor!

     

    Absolutely BRILLIANT Simius!

    Well,

    I built one and it was a bust. I had a few IC sockets that at the time I did not notice that there were no holes drilled into the pins for my gold plated machine pin sockets. I had to drill holes to correct but to no avail, it was a failure. de-soldering is a bitch!

    I built another one and it fired right up!

    Expect a trouble or two but... persevere!

    Enjoy your build and ask before you leap!

    Unfortunately,

     

    I am using the PIC as is but I have to go thru the button sequence to select my resolution every time I power back up. and I found that you have to be quick about it.

    I am also still getting the red led blink followed by two short blinks.

    When I adjusted the onboard switches to a different resolution, i did get a half second green led. I assume from what I have read in the thread that that is the GBS initializing the parameters.

     

    Cant wait for Sophia 3 to come out.

    Well,

    It took me a three week endeavor to get this to run but it now works.

    1088XLD and VBXE and VGA2RGB carrier board.

    THANK YOU MYTEK!

     

    I have very muted colors. Attract mode colors are off. 

    I flashed my GBSCTRL PIC out of unit using the joy2pic stick.

    Switches in the correct place and I have a stable pic to my VGA input on my screen.

    I have a DELL monitor on the way and perhaps that will help.

     

    We will see...

    Thank You Very Much!

     

    I was chasing issues with three 1050's giving BOOT ERROR  and swapping mechs and MB

     

    Wound up being a bad power supply.

     

    I DL instructions for what I thought was a dead happy and whooldathunkit... It works with a tandon mech and installation instructions.
