In Altirra, boot to Basic and type something like: 10 LPRINT "TEST" 20 GOTO 10 RUN Be sure to disable the Printer acceleration option from : System > Acceleration > P: (Printer CIO) -- is unchecked You will hear a continuous drum like sound. madi Edit: I just noticed that phaeron had cut the cake.

Still, for a normal user, such security certificate worming (on an empty page with red triangle Alert) is most likely will discourage him from entering the site. This may directly/indirectly affects sales. madi

... Deleted, Edit: I did not notice that C20 was an electrolytic capacitor. It become damaged by time/use. madi

I am sure that ProWizard has more to tell about this : "I use my Atari similarly, professional writing on LTW and I also do personal finance and business administration with the great Syn series software" madi

Same here. The drive spinning sound continues until drive stops. Actually, noisy. Madi

May I suggest that someone who downloaded the GamePack package from the same link (today) to attach the "a8_best_gamepack.exe" file that is under discussion for toddtmw to download and post the result. Maybe something happen when toddtmw was downloading and the file got corrupted.. madi

Thank you Allan You always spend enormous efforts and money and go out of your way just to preserve whatever stuff from Atari's old days for future generations. That is amazing. madi

Just had a chance to read this. I had to read it few times to fully appreciate it. Words of wisdom. Thank you

It is a basic game. Just press RESET and LIST it.

Under XEP-80, text in AtariWord 80: The copy/save frames works. Thank you phaeron. There is a minor point you might consider it as an info.. The Save frame / Copy frame with Aspect ratio yields pictures with less contrast compared to screen shots of Altirra window or a normal Save/Copy frame. madi

I was a member of MAAUG too. I was in the soldering workshop some evening of year 1984 (don't recall details due to age). I had a memory upgrade for my 2 Atari 800XL computers (256 and 512K). I had no experience of soldering at all at that time. What I remember is that the workshop continued until late night. Unfortunately, I lost the name of the participates and all my Atari related hardware and (most software). You brought good memories although might be barely remembered. Madai

Fixed .. Thanx Not fixed. Thank you phaeron In our Atari community, there are quiet few people that share their time, efforts and own money without bountiful attitudes to keep our beloved Atari alive. Yet, there are really fewer people that have the vision of preserving Atari even after all of its hardware equipment are either turned into dust or only found in Museums. They work very hard so future generations will be able to enjoy yesterday's technology. They seek eternity for Atari. I believe you are one of really few. madi

Hi Mclaneinc I installed the English - UK as the sole language pack to investigate the difficulties you had experienced with Atari-Archiv 1.3. I couldn't reproduce the said errors you faced. However, the program crashes if INI file is missing. With version 1.4, the program opens the database and run normally under the situation where INI file is missing. But it will generate an error upon exiting due to missing INI file that needed to store data. Sorry, for not being able to give much help. madi

You have accomplished an important goal that made you proud of it. That is what counts madi

Hi AtariGeezer I was experementing with the "Scan ATR Files" feature of the ATR Tools. I noticed that "ATR Search Results" always terminate with an error. The error occurs on random basis. The fatal error may take place after few search cycles only. I suspect that whenever ATR Tools starts searching in a new folder (I am not sure) by pressing "Start Search", a little annoying windows popups "fread Result". Eventually, the program terminates. See picture: madi

Thank you Stephen Although, it did not come as our wishes, still we didn't expect something out of the ordinary. For me (and guess for others as well), it is another proof that you always try your best to be available for Atari community. Helping others is a blessing. madi

Thank you Timothy Kline for your offer to download the FTP/ZIP file and to look at. I think that what you are reffing to is a WWW.ATARI.COM AFAIK, the FTP is a file server and not GUI based site. (file transfer only). Therefore, the contents may differ. madi

According to Archive.org: I was tempted to download this huge FTP site and see what is hidden inside. Unfortunately, the FTP size is beyond my internet connection speed (26.3G) Did any one have a look at it before? Link : https://archive.org/download/ftpsite_ftp.atari.com_2013_07 madi

When Attempting to Format a disk image under DOS 2.0/2.50 dos using Altirra's R/O or VRWSafe write modes, one should expect an error 173 (I think) but not the following: ERROR- 10K <- inverse letter K I know that it doesn't affect Altirra's performance. Just a note. Madi

Hans Kloss (1992-02)(L.K. Avalon)(PL) Game is CAS Load using Altirra with the following: Basic=OFF Cassette SIO=OFF Mem= 64K and up (XL/XE) 48K (800 OS-A/B) When you hear the peep, press, F1 to speed up loading Start game with (Fire). Start will crash the game. ----------------------------------------------------- HardBall! (1985)(Accolade)(US) Game is: ATX image Did not work for me either. To go around the protection at sector 707, alter routine to jump to $1809 (obviously, The game would be a crack and will not be considered a Preserved) madi

I don't have Side/Side2 devices. AFAIK, .ATX images are not supported by side cartridges. Try the attached ATR image. If it doesn't work, let me know, so I will fix one for you. madi Spelunker (1984)(Broderbund).zip
