SIO and two computers?

[SIO and two computers?]

Thanks for all the great information. I'll ponder this and decide if I will build something

[SIO and two computers?]

Is it okay to connect two different computers to your sio chain as long as you don't access your peripherals at the same time with both computers? For example a 130XE and 800XL using the same drives and printer?

I have a U1MB on the way together with a VBXE and stereo pokey upgrade. I have written journals for years in Atariwriter Plus, but I may switch to Last Word if I like it. My journals are very large and use much of the 130XE memory.

 

For many years I have used MyDos, Atariwriter Plus, and Bobterm almost exclusively on a stock 130XE. I have a lot to learn.

 

Thanks for the quick response!

[Atariwriter Plus and Spartados Side2]

I have a new Side2 cart and would like to run Atariwriter Plus from a partition on the cart. I am unfamiliar with Spartados. I have tried starting with the X command, but it hangs. I assume there is a memory problem, and that there is some configuration that needs to be done to get this to run. The computer is a stock 130XE. I have three partitions on the cart/compact flash, and the first is set as bootable.
