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

It seems that my English vocabulary is becoming ancient. I had to look further for the meaning of "BS" to understand the tone of the message. I like the way of how to make the SIO cable ends explained by @mechanerd. However, I always stand away from Atrimax like/dislike issue. Honestly speaking, it only brings members apart and never change things as wished. I wrote the above to show my supersize of how easy things can be overlooked or misunderstood. Well.. madi

Analog Pocket Reference Card

When the game is left on the title (Demo) screen, the game always crash Altirra after the second round.

It is written "Assembler" not assembly. I am not a programmer, but i know for sure that, the debugger part for MAC/65 (DDT) is using RAM from $80 to $AF. Quote: "The DDT manual gives more information on this subject, but as a general guide you must avoid locations $80 through $AF (in zero page) and the memory location located within the bounds displayed by the SIZE command" Page 13, Section 2.5 _DDT Mac-65 with DDT manual Rev 1.2 madi

Hi Mclaneinc Just asking. Is possible for you to contact John regarding the development status of his Ultimon II? It was almost complete. Hope to hear good news. madi

The company code should be : BENSON as stated in the Sample Data Base disk. I removed the protection, but did not thoroughly test the software package. The unprotected "Atari Book Keeper - Reporting.ATR" disk image is attached. madi Atari Book Keeper - Reporting.ATR

The protection is based on Sector 365 ($016D). The Basic file "BOOT" in disk image "Atari Book Keeper - Data Entry.ATR" has the protection code (sector #140 on the disk).( line 32760 in the BOOT file). Attached is unprotected "Atari Book Keeper - Data Entry.ATR" PRO disk image that was provided by AtariGeezer . Please note that the Software was not tested further madi Atari Book Keeper - Data Entry.atr

I ran the demo under Altirra 2.99 test 10, Windows 10 The demo doesn't run with 256K memory (Rambo) The demo loads and run with 320K memory (and higher - 576K and 1088K) In both PAL and NTSC modes, pressing any key temporarily, the demo switches between the loop version (red) and single demo (grey). Both versions of the demo will crash Altirra if the demo is left running to the end. 1- Any key pressed: 2- No key pressed: madi

Sorry, the resistor value can be from 100 to 300 ohms or a small diode I was thinking of the proceed line (SIO 9 pin) Duhhh ..

I am sure you are not wrong about use of RTS as a handshaking method. Actually, you can also use it as 1050-to-PC (10502PC) device via ProSystem software. This will enable you to connect the device directly to your disk drive without the need for Atari computer. However, you will need to make the following modifications to be able to do that. 1- You need to connect the Red wire of the FTDI FT232RL USB cable (+5V) to the Atari SIO pin #10 through a 5.6k resistor (in line connection), because Atari disk drive needs +5V which will be supplied from the FTDI FT232RL USB cable. 2- You need to switch the two data lines: To connect to Disk drive: Pin on cable goes to Pin on SIO ------------ ------------ GND 4 or 6 RXD 3 TXD 5 RTS 7 This can be accomplished by another switch in order to switch between the two configurations (SIO2PC and 10502PC). 3- Switch for CTS/RTS handshaking lines. (You have that already) I am thinking of building this dual setup using this cable. I will use CD74HC4053E (TRIPLE 2-CHANNEL ANALOG MULTIPLEXER/DEMULTIPLEXER) inside the Atari SIO Plug, thus eliminating the need for physical switchers and the bulky box. Hopefully, I will comeback with a successful story within 2 months (order delay) or less. madi

Level42 "that ad clearly shows that women are second grade human beings in countries like Saudi Arabia". What made you sure about that? Ad picture?. Ask yourself (honestly), What do you know about that country's habits and customs. Media tells you that his picture is a clear evidence of racism? I am honored to be a Saudi. I have read your previous note and simply ignored it. I am responding now, because you are trying to make another (LOCKED thread). If you are interested in politics and you want to curse Saudis and thier country, you are in luck. There are many thousands of websites that you will find interesting. Join them shout, empty your anger or whatever hot feeling you might have. Please :Level42, keep Atariage out of that. Keep it as it was intended. Enjoy all the creation, invention and help that our respectful and gifted member provide. Share your knowledge with others. Keep Atari alive Thank you

Excelent Thank you.

Hi brenski I am not 100% sure of the accuracy of my writing, Only aDawliah management can ascertain that. I can only speculate that they ran out of the correct (newer) Arabic keyboards during the assembly of the new batch and forced to use the older keyboards of the single letter “G” (ل). Examine the following picture of the Arabic Typewriter. It hash correct letter arrangement. This suggests that they made an error while engraving the Arabic key “ل”. The letter “لـ” is the letter that was supposed to be engraved. This will mach with all the letters in the 2 lines of the next picture: To correct for this mistake, they made another mistake ( I think). They took all the key “G” that had the Arabic letter “ل” and engraved the letter “لـ” on top of it, which was supposed to be reversed (see the picture of the typewriter). If I were you, I will look at the bright side. It is highly possible that you have one of the rarest NAJM65XE that have the a later 130XE 4-chip mobo with the older Keyboard. madi

The word نجم consists of 3 letters: ن - ج - م. They are either come at the end of the word or typed alone, the above letters identical to: N - J - M in English Wen these three letters are connected they become نـ - جـ - م the shape of the letters in Arabic changes according to its position in the word. This produces the so very rich and beautiful Arabic calligraphy/fonts. Literally, unlimited. madi

Well, here is a free Arabic lesson NAJM = نجم Is referred to STAR. e.g. Look at this STAR in the sky. So, "Vega" is a STAR/نجم The plural of STAR/ نجم is STARS/ نجوم In English, a celebrity is a STAR and in Arabic it is also called نجم I would like to clarify the actual meaning and structure of the word نجمة نجمة is for a single female of نجم (which is for a single "male" name) In Arabic adding the letter (Ta'a) "ة" or "ت" (T in English) to the end of so many names or verbs or adjectives, will change the words from a male to female . Example: (Human/ انسان to Human/ انسانة) Thus: نجم is a single "male" Star نجمة is a single "female" Star نجمان are for two Stars (male) نجمتان are for two Stars (female) نجوم are the plural of نجم ) male نجمات are the plural of نجمة) female And there are a lot more About نجم madi

What you program is yours. You have the right to protect it form unauthorized people in any way you feel suitable. BUT I believe that you have gone too far by accusing Atariage community members of being traitors and thieves. Why do you have that tendency to intimidate peoples? Stop it please. madi
