    I've got a perfect copy of the IBM-PC version, but you probably want the Atari.

    I took a look at the manual (large) and its IBM specific.

     

    I didn't realise there was a PC version!! I was aware of WinQuill, which is a relatively new version, it's written for Windows95.

    Please need to know if somebody can share their copies of the kyan Pascal extensions the extra library disks and maybe the manuals, i saw a copy once on ebay but i did not won in the end. Thank you very much.

     

    I second this post. I would be very grateful if anyone could share the extensions.

    I've got all those, I bought them from the newsagents back in the day. It's a shame that most of them are now creased and torn, and one or two of them don't even have the front and back pages anymore. :(

     

    I only got Volumes 1 and 2 back in the 80's. Can't remember why I didn't get the rest.

     

    It's taken me about 6 months to get the final 2 volumes.

     

    Am I right in thinking that Volume 4 Issue 7 was the last one?

    I posted this in the marketplace, but I thought I would post it here as well as I know some of you guys only look at this forum area.

     

    I am looking for an original copy of AdventureWriter, does anyone have one they would like to sell?

    I will consider paying for postage from anywhere

    Wow! How many issues are there?

     

    Might as well pick up the Pair of very very large 'African' style Floor Lamps from the same seller, maybe you can get combined shipping!

     

    Haha...I don't think those floor lamps will work in my office ;)

     

    There are only 7 issues in volume 4 of Atari User, so in total 43 issues of the magazine. Not a huge run, I know, but it's been quite hard to find the final volume.

    Hey Pengwin, I'm on here, glad you picked it up, hope you put it to good use. Maybe you'll even find a tip or two you can use in all the issues of UPDATE KYAN that were included.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi JD,

     

    Oh yes, it will be put to good use. I've already looked at it and the KIX interface is fantastic, and pointers are easier in this version.

     

    I haven't had time to look at the newsletters properly yet, but the glimpse I had through them earlier has already clarified a few things and shown new techniques.

     

    As I said in my email, all I need now is an original copy of AdventureWriter and I'll be really happy.

     

    Again, thanks for a great deal.

    Oh well, I've got some beer anyway. :)

     

    Well, it's Vodka for me! Excuse the terrible mess - I'm building a new desk but it's taking time as we've been in a deep freeze for a while.

    Looks good to me Stephen. Are you running all 3 monitors from the one PC?

    Here's a more recent image of my 'retro corner'.

    It looks like chaos, and it is chaos. (apologies about the spectrum loading screen on the tv ;) )

    Gaming and retro system that can be seen are (from left to right) Oric Atmos, 48K ZX Spectrum, ZX Spectrum+, Atari 800XL (with SIO2PC sitting on top), 1050 Disk Drive.

    And on top of the TV is my Nintendo DS Lite charging up.

     

    All of the systems are working and unmodified, except for the ZX Spectrum+ which I have bypassed the RF modulator to give me direct video out.

     

    Still got some Jack Daniels left eh?

     

    It must be pretty nice sitting in there with a drink remenissing. You guys are lucky to have spare rooms. I think anyone who doesn't have one would no choice other than to have everything next to the TV downstairs, and that's if the wife would mind, otherwise I guess everything would have to be kept stored away, which is a shame. :(

     

    I guess I'm lucky then. My wife has a PC next to my Mac (just out of shot), so she is often surfing the net (or should I say spending money on eBay), while I get my retro fix. Either that or she's knitting and the sound of those needles drives me insane :x

    All,

    The newest version of Atari800MacX has been released. This version has one new feature, which is the ability to insert a second cartridge image when the first cartridge image is a SpartaDos X cartridge. This lets you use Basic XL, XE, Action, etc with the Sparta Dos cartridge in the emulator as you can on the real machine.

     

    The program can be downloaded from http://www.atarimac.com .

     

    Thanks again to Al for hosting the web pages.

     

    And thanks go to Pengwin (Atrenne Software and Web Design) for the updated web page look on my site!!!

     

    Mark

     

    My pleasure, Mark. I like to help the Atari community in anyway I can.

    The Dreamcast has now been consigned to the clear perspex box, and the 800XL is now set up properly, it's still really cramped for space though, the data recorder is squeezed in behind it.

    Ross, you need to get yourself a coffee table. I ran my old computers like that for quite a while, until I built my desk.

    You all need to get a Mac and run Atari800MacX... imho... The best A8 emulator I've ever had the pleasure of using... The media interface is something that is sorely needed in Atari800Win...

     

    I've tried several emulators on various platforms, including DOS and Windows. But, I agree totally with dwhyte, Atari800MacX is the best one I've used.

    sio/cio programming is easy

     

    have a look at De Re Atari... there are the DCBs mem adresses where to poke the values of the above mentioned "XIO" command into and then you have to call the SIOV or CIOV... not sure.

     

    I shall have a look

     

    but as far as i can remember does kyan pascal not support XIO commands?

     

    I don't think the version I have does, but I am waiting for version 2 to arrive from the US, so I will check out the manual when it arrives.

     

    I have actually put the project on hold until I get the new version of Kyan Pascal (well, it's new to me anyway)
