I have been looking for the yellow spiral Atari PC1 Docs. Anyone have scans of those? Also looking for docs for a PCH204 drive.
charliecron: I do have an Atari made cable connecting my PC1 and PCH204. It is a very custom cable. many lines are moved, switched, or disconnected. I looks hard to duplicate. imo
Aiso, I can't get Atari GEM to load off the 204. It only loads from disk. I'm sure there are some pointer in a few sys/bat files that need to change, but I'm not sure which or where. suggestions? Thanks

How you know that it boots up OK ?
What cable, connectors you use, on what TV input ?
Just to mention that you need to tune TV on VHF low, aprox. channel 2 for Atari, if use RF cable (antenna cable).
