  1. This is really nice, especially since I bought Ape (for DOS!) back in '93 and have gotten the upgrades and drivers up to the current version without any additional charges. Twenty six years, wow....
  2. IMHO, you would be better off adding an UAV instead of rebuilding the missing circuit: https://thebrewingacademy.com/collections/atari-800-xl-xe-xel-xld/products/tba-ultimate-atari-video-uav-board-for-400-800-xl-xe I have one in an 600XL and the output is fantastic.
  3. Yeah, don't do that. 1.44MB disks have a different coating than 720KB disks, and will be very unreliable as a 720KB disk.
  4. My favorite part of the video is where he asked others what they didn't like about using their 8-bit computers back in the day, and almost all of the complaints were because they were Commodore people and not Atari or Apple. :-)
  5. I saw one episode where the main character is writing a book in AppleWorks. They got the screenshot of AppleWorks right, but he was using an Apple ][+ and a IIgs monitor, which I don't think was possible.
  6. I haven't tried it, but maybe Retroarch's atari800 core would work?

  8. Come to ##atari on Freenode, it's pretty active. Plus, if you get a shell account somewhere, you can chat on irc from your Atari: From the web you can IRC with Kiwi: https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net/##atari
  9. To emulate the Atari 8-bit computer, your best bet is Altirra, an 8-bit Atari computer emulator if you are on a Windows machine. There is a new version of AtariMacX emulator for macOS, and for Linux, atari800 or Altirra under Wine. Once you get an A8 emulator running, head on over to Atari 400 800 XL XE Books on Atarimania and check out the books, probably Your Atari Computer would be a good start. And welcome!
  10. Steve Jobs purposely hobbled the IIgs so it didn't overshadow the Mac. The IIgs was in color and had some great sound, he did not want it to be faster than the Mac Plus.
  11. I believe so, I used a Supra interface back in the day with a Panasonic printer without issue. I've never used an 850 with a printer though.
  12. I would think you would have to make changes to the atari800 emulator before you could do anything with an SIO port hanging off of the Pi.
  13. I have an LCD TV/VGA monitor, which usually won't sync until I plug the composite or s-video in a couple of times. While everything is on, try unplugging and plugging in the composite a few times and see if you get a picture.
  14. The Ultimate cart supports the 1MB (8Mb) cart. The AVG and Uno carts only support the 128KB (1Mb) Atarimax carts.
  15. Check out Fastbasic: https://github.com/dmsc/fastbasic You lose the line numbers of regular basic, but you gain the ability to compile your program. There is a cross-compiler that you can use on your Windows box.

  17. OS won’t matter, you just need to be able to put files on a FAT32 formatted SD card. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Do you have any sort of SIO2PC or SIO2SD device? Carts that work standalone (simply put files on an SD or CF card) in order of my preference: - Ultimate Cart - AVG Cart or Uno Cart - Side 2 - AtariMax MyIDE II Carts that need an SIO device or programming device in order of my preference: - The!Cart - AtariMax 8Mb and 1Mb
  19. It's great monitor, I have several, and the soundbars give you a great, compact set up. If you have an UAV in your 130XE, the output looks as good as my VBXE (going through a GBBS-8220). I guess I should make a cable and see how well my ST looks going through the GBBS-8220...
  20. This is what I do too, only with Dropbox. I set up a spare laptop, and use Remote Desktop to control it. That way I can keep the laptop closed so it takes up very little space In fact, I keep the monitor on top of the laptop. I need to look at syncthing... :-)
  21. Whoo oo! Fifty posts away from Stargunner!
