That's the ingot power supply. Cut the cord off of it and throw it in the trash before it fries your machine. They are notorious for going bad and taking the computer down with it.

I am now the proud owner of a Monkey Wrench II cartridge, but unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work. :-( When plugged into the right and Atari Basic in the left it doesn't work. ? fre(0) is 8K less, so the machine sees the cart. Any ideas? (And for fun, booting Microsoft Basic off of a disk with both carts plugged in leaves you with a little over 4K free :-)

I started my 10 year old daughter out with TBXL, but the line editing is pretty tough for people that have grown up with full screen editors (in the 80s we didn't know any better :-). Action may be the next step up for her, the editor is a lot nicer and the edit/compile/run cycle isn't that bad.

I was thinking a version of TBXL that didn't require line numbers would be nice, but then it wouldn't be much different from Action! so why bother. :-) With the source code to Action! now available, I'd selfishly like to see more work done to it.

That looks like the Sega knockoff. Beware of using it on an memory upgraded machine. On my Rambo'ed 800XL it quits working in a minute or two. On my 64K 600XL it doesn't have issues, except for the fact it feels really cheap and has an extra short cable. :-)

I just used a regular hole punch that we already had.

I came across this device tonight while looking for compact flash solutions for my SE/30: CF AztecMonster CF-3.5inc. SCSI Converter Card New for Vintage Computer It's a little pricey, but any reason this wouldn't work on an MIO?

Finally got a copy of Monkey Wrench! (Of course, I also got an 800 and 810 out of the deal, plus another copy of Action! which is cool. :-)

Very cool! Thanks!! (Now to see if I still know how to burn DC games.

It raises an interesting point, what if Atari banned mail order sales of the computer lines like Apple did?

I'll just add that StartSSL offers free SSL certificates, which would get rid of the untrusted error.

Looks like RF but on the wrong channel. But you're using the AV connection, aren't you?

After being an 800XL guy for 30 year, my main machine is now a 1200XL. Why? I don't know. It's a good looking machine with a good keyboard. You do need to clean up the video to really use it. With a U1M and Side2, I don't even miss the PBI.

I like the new label, I may have to do that to my 1702...

I went with a 4:3 ratio (1600x1200) screen and rotated it. The 16:9 and 16:10 screens just don't work for me. I really like the dell 2007fp. Bonus is the composite and svideo inputs in addition to VGA and DVI.

That's it! Thanks!

Does anyone remember which issue of Analog had a program that let you do windows in basic using a graphics 0 screen and the graphic characters?

Actions like w1k's also affects the community as a whole. I know I'm more apprehensive to ask questions because I don't want to come across negative or disrespectful. Altirra is the main reason I have a Windows VM on my laptop. :-)

What I was planning to do was to always start with an unmodified ROM, and then just change the bytes that need to be changed for certain things. I didn't want to get too fancy, lol! Thank you!

I figured this would also help me in my quest to learn assembly. :-) In the source it's: lda #$02 sta LMARGN So I would look for A902850052 (A9 - lda immediate, 02 - number, 85 - sta immediate, 0052 - LMARGN)? Did I do that correctly?

I'm working on a little program to make it easy to set some defaults for a custom ROM (left margin, reverse basic, hi-speed SIO, custom font, etc.) but I seem to be stuck at the start. There isn't a simple memory map of the ROM. :-) I was looking at the OS listing, and found where it stores $02 in LMARGN for the left margin, but I have no idea how to find that in the ROM. Font is at E000-E3FF, which I calculate that to be at 2000 in the ROM. How can I figure out the locations of the left margin and colors?

I compiled atari800 3.1.0 on a Raspberry Pi and was able to get it to work with IceT. What issues are you having?

Ok, that makes sense. I just need to move my Altirra installation to the root of my Atari8 directory, which will fix it. Thanks!

The Atari's signal seems to throw off certain tvs and video capture cards. My LCD TV needs to be power cycled after the Atari is on to get it to sync, and I've never gotten my cheap USB video capture device to show anything. But, my old mini-dv camera can work as a media converter to firewire, and it does show a signal. So basically, I am no help. :-)

Phareon, does Altirra use relative or absolute paths in the .ini file? I keep my Altirra installation in Dropbox, so the path can change. I store all the support ROMS in the same folder as Altirra, and there is no path info in the .ini file, but when I start Altirra, it acts like it can't find the roms until I go into the settings and re-select them. Anything I can look for? (I'd rather not have to have multiple .ini files for each machine. :-)
