  1. Indeed, im continually impressed with these postings.
  2. If i were to load the FJC/ProWizard Sparta image onto the MyIDE ][, i would lose the fat loader right?
  3. The name sounds familiar but the ads do not. I recall a similar company thar sold software the same way. The catch, it was all discontinued or education market software. Still if you needed WordPerfect on the cheap and didnt care if it was v3 or v4 when v5 was current, it was an option. I got it delivered and it came in a newspaper format. I actually got a killer deal on my first CD-ROM combo with dual speakers and monitor sound though i cant remember who made it. The thing sounded great. But there was no comitment. I think i found the ad inside Infoworld.
  4. I have this cable and others from him. They all work great and his communication is great as well.
  5. And don't get me wrong, I like the MyIDE ][ for what it is and what it does. I've been using it. I just prefer Sparta. I don't really want to flash the cart though, and I won't mind having two different ones use for say two different purposes, and for two different people.
  6. Thats different than my experience. He shipped the cart fast after ordering but thats where the customer service stopped. I posted a question three time on the support forum. After the first two deletions I asked on AA, and also again on AM. I got answers here, and the thord post deleted on AM, not even a PM as to why. Im not willing to trade. My son can use my MyIDE ][ when I get Side 2.
  7. MyIDE ][ for just booting and playing games. For doing more than that it will work as well, but Side 2 may be a better option if you prefer Sparta over MyDOS. I got the MyIDE ][ but now wish I had gotten Side 2, but planning on it anyway. One note MyIDe ][ support stinks, dont bother posting questions to their support forums as they get summarily deleted. I also find myself fumbling for the correct key presses to fet to the screens I want, but thats just my memory See this thread where I asked a bunch of the same. There is a link to a comparison spreadsheet I created. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221048-options-for-flash-drive-hd/page-5?do=findComment&comment=2931485
  8. Yes so i got dk and dkjr. As i read here, and now must agree, the sound is horrible! Otherwise fun!
  9. Colors still need adjusting. Rather than pick ones you think are ok, pick one color, then go to colorschemer.com to find compatable colors. Will be much easier on the eyes and tons easier to read.
  10. My week: Atari 7800 Donkey Kong -15 min Donkey Kong Jr - 20 min Ms. Pac-Man - 20 min Atari 8 Bit Kaboom! - 20 min River Raid - 15 min
  11. Thanks Mike for the petsonal attention to resolution! Looking forward to the mag.
  12. I tried to subscribe digitally, now Im just mad. Bought through Apple newstand, logged in to pix account within magazine, yet I cant view any content. Did I just waste my money? If you buy a subscription, do you also have to buy the first issue?
  13. Pen and paper backup is an option too, but the save and load times are horribly slow.
  14. I'm finally down to 10 lines and some room to spare, well, it will likely get used fixing the premature end at the end of round 1 and missing animation. trace mode activate
  15. Ditto but 14 yesrs old. Had no idea at the time.
  16. Bill Wilkinson did develop DOS XE for Atari. I found that in the Atari 8 Bit FAQ. Though thats not where I read the details on DOS 3. What the %^&* book was I reading!?! This is going to bug me all weekend. Excerpt from: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/section-64.html "Before its release, DOS XE was widely known as "ADOS." It was developed by Bill Wilkinson for Atari. The DOS XE disk is labeled: DOS XE Master Diskette (DX5090)."
