Thanks for the info.

look around for a 1 meg isa vga card for it with that you can use all kinds of vga programs big upgrad from ega you will get one for less that 5 bucks.

Heatwavebbs is the best. you will have to dial into all atari BBSs now

well atari pc1 gem will not work on a vga computer card its only ega, but i can use ega gem write and gem paint in my gem 3 desktop.

ill try to make a working copy of pc1 gem on my 486 computer to work from a hard drive so it will work on your atari pc1 computer it will give me something to do or going to fail David B

that keyboard on the right is for a compaq armada 1750 laptop, i got two tables side by side with vintage computers on them.

here is a Video of my Atari 520STe on Youtube you can see my mouse working after the fixup soldering all is working and Dualterm a comms program i use to login to Atari 8 bit BBSs with useing Atascii. im no film star but see my vids.

cool thats the same zip file i found if new how to add a attached files i can add files to my replays.

I have PC1 disks to gem desktop ega, gem paint, gem startup ega, gem write, and msdos disk 1 and 2 all in 368,640k img files email me and ill post them back to you in zip file, These are for the atari looking at the gem bat file.

try this on a msdos computer to format a 720k disk FORMAT A: /T:80 /N:9 or format amiga disk to 720k.

I have fix'd my mouse port with the soldering on my 520ste works great now, one rubber cup is missing from the return key but use the picture from the webpage it shows were thay go as thay full off like mine did. David B

Go and have a look at c64warez.com you will find all kinds of good commodore programs there : ) David B

Thank you for the link and cover disks i can use some of those programs with my 520ste. David B
