Actually, 2 tabs that hold the packing to the core of the switch are broken. The issue I am having is that Best electronics who have this switch asking for 20 US as minimum purchase. Add that to the international shipping cost= $$$. madi

Thanks .. sent a request. I will have an open eye on the International shipping cost 🙄

Could not find the select switch for the 1050 disk drive any where. (I am aware that is a sort of 2 bit dip slide switch). Is there any equivalent replacement for this switch? Thanks madi

Thank you for the info. I was only concentrating on the Atari side. I understand from the above that, the TV/monitor must have the S-Video jack/outlet to receive the Chroma signal form Atari (which it failed and only showed white/black screen) ? madi

I tried to conduct the simple video mod on my NTSC 800XL rev."C" made in Honk Kong. It is equipped with an Ultimate U1MB. The TV is 65" Dansat. When the other side of C54 is lifted, the screen is always back and white. Color is possible only when the C54 is connected. Let the picture explain it better: Note: Connection through 4 is only possible if wire is removed and C54 is in place. So, need your advice please. I thought it would be easy.🤪 madi

Did any one try to build SDrive-Max using 3.5" TFT touch screen LCD? I am aware that the current available 3D printed cases are for the 2.8 inches, but for most elderly, larger screens will be better. even thinking of 3.95" screens 🙂. It is a matter of drivers. Isn't it? Madi

Use the stand alone PC utility MemoPad R26 , or use AtariGeezer's excellent PC utility ATRTools-027f madi Edit: To convert the tokenized or listed Basic file to PDF, use the attached ATASCIIView ATASCIIView.zip

A new release of the famous File Management software. It supports WIN7-10 and had a new features. Thank to Burkhard Rau: Atari File-Management vV 2.1 00xx mdi

I Tried to uplode the Megaprint II and Megafont II+ disk images, but I got this message: "6 please contact us for assistance." ??

Strange.. I tested the game on Altirra 3.10-test28 WIN10 X64 The file: Ikhtabir Thaka'ak (198x)(aDawliah)(SA),bin works only when AltirraOS for XL/XE/XEGS is selected as an OS. The cartridge mapper 52 *MicroCalc 32K also must be selected. The file: Ikhtabir Thaka'ak (198x)(aDawliah)(SA).car, is automatically picked up by Altirra. The game executed normally using either: Atari XL/XE/XEGS OS ver.4 or AltirraOS for XL/XE/XEGS. For any other OS, the game screen for (.car) will load but when an option is selected (using arrows) and then Enter is pressed, the emulator freezes madi

I had a close look at the working image file :"Bank_ul_Maalumat.bin" My finding is that the whole cartridge banks only serve two purposes. 1. Download a basic program (the game) to ram. 2 Provide a Basic Cartridge at $A000 - BFFF for the basic program to run Funny. The basic program (game) is attached. LOAD and RUN madi BankMalu.BAS

Hi atari65xenajm I only managed to run the following file: 31_MegaCart_512_Ikhtabir_Thakaak.bin Actually it is not Ikhtabir Thakaak.bin. It is Bank_ul_Maalumat.bin which was reported as working file in an earlier post. madi

Same findings. I guess that the conversion of The_Tail_of_Beta_Lyrae__Databyte.scp image file went wrong at some where in the conversion process of the original disk. The summery obtained from the conversion at the CMD (Command Prompt) window using a8rawconv.exe is identical to that in the The_Tail_of_Beta_Lyrae__Databyte.txt file found in the zip file. i.e : 330 missing sectors, 49 phantom sectors, 17 sectors with errors. madi

It looks as if the "SUPER BUSIU-DOS ©'88 by LIZAKsoft" menu loader is just a variant of the "Micro-DOS II D Initializer" from atarionline.pl website. madi

Hi Mclaneinc I found this disk image with the same loader you are looking for. A quick look at the image, it shows that the loader resides in directory sectors (361-368). This loader also can access sectors beyond 720. madi DYSK_31A 180 PANTHER HENRYS HOUSE BOWLING.atr

This menu maker is an AUTORUN.SYS file. Just copy it to any formatted disk. madi Menu QuickBoot.ATR

Hi atari65xenajm Unfortunately, the second file (Ikhtabir Thakaak.bin) didn't work for me under Altirra. madi

Attached is an RPM test file in .LST format. It was part of the Book with Software ( I lost the the disk) I found it quite useful in the back days. madi rpmtest.lst

Gunstar, You are quite right. I never owned any computer other than Atari 800XL (1982 until 1995). So, the word “computer” is always meant Atari 8-bit machines to me. I only recently heard about Blitter chip which many old Atarians (8bit) never heard of and is not part of their experience. On the contrary I defiantly, enjoying my U1MB that is installed on my 800XL. Although not utilizing all its rich features, but with it I can feel the joy of the extra ram and the other OSs I had in my original 800 XL in the back days (Terminator 512K and RAMROD/Omniview/omnimon XL roms). Of course I examined some featured of the VBXE under Altirra, but did not have that much of like to it. It did not give me the impression of being using classic Atari 8-bit except, for having the thoughts of installing an alien hardware inside Atari which only absorbs/wastes its power (sorry for that).

Not planning to get one. I don't feel that it ads any new ATARI experience/touch/joy to me.

I wonder if this one will do: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-Crimp-Terminal-Connector-3-96mm-FREE-SHIPPING-/251118500449 It will be great if it fits. I think there is no need to cut the wings !!

The crash dialogue is still there. (test 18) Be sure that the "Enable Debugger" option is not checked. (the crash dialogue doesn't show if debugger is enabled". Confirmed: The F1 issue is fixed. madi

True. Also, Warp Speed persists even if Altirra is Cold Started, changed memory config, or any option that usually triggers Cold start. The Wrap speed never go away unless Altirra is turned off. madi
