[Ingot Power Supply --> Garbage Can?]

I'm still looking the for XL styled cream or black power supply units not the ingot or bricks they don't have to be working

I will just strip out the insides and replace so everything matches up in the XL style

[Altirra 3.20 released]

Just a lot of laziness configure the emulator too your specific needs then save as a profile

[8bit Hardware For Sale]

If you have XL style power supply units (not the ingots or bricks) in either black or white i'm interested

Atari 1200XL unboxed, very modified - U1MB, Side 2 (with 8GB CF card and reader), Stereo Pokey (with switch), VBXE with RGB SCART output (includes cable) in great condition, tested working

Is there no compromise on collection only i'm in u.k suffolk i could pay for the shipping

Also whereabouts in u.k are you?

Some times it's down to user error typos it's even worst when it's down to a bad listing just feels like entire waste of time

[Total newbie advice for learning basic?]

Whilst i accept their is gonna be a degree of some real typing into a emulator or real machine

I really do not want to type endless amounts of lines like back in day when magazines,books and listings and typos that was bad enough back then

Lost count of the amount time the Atari came close getting smashed 1000 bits just out of pure anger frustration for one stupid typo mistake

I didn't think it was the pdfs were at fault just method of transferring the information into Altirra is hard not that it's a fault too

Theirs gotta be a way around this somehow we can't go back to the dark ages of typing every single line not in year 2019

[Total newbie advice for learning basic?]

Most of the pdfs came from here http://69.60.118.202/atari/atari-books.htm and atarimania 

Each pdf has the same result so far in  Altirra but i don't believe all the pdf can be that bad theirs something wrong somewhere

[Total newbie advice for learning basic?]

So it's down to a bad reader that doesn't have option to read as plain text?

Are there better alternatives to adobe that can read as plain text?

[Total newbie advice for learning basic?]

Gawd i was hoping the age of rage quitting after endless line of codes only to have one typo fuck everything up were over 

Why can't it just be easy?

Thank's for your help so far i appreciate it

So far as toggle switch goes it's mystery to me it outputs to grey screen with no memo pad or ready prompt

Even using a simple type in like 

10 print"hello"

20 goto 10

run

 

does nothing at all?

 

When looking at different types of programming languages and other software i notice most of it for the american market NTSC systems is that software gonna make a difference on my PAL setup

Also XL/XE OS Rev 2 is my current OS could i do with a better OS or is this okay for my 800XL PAL

 

In addition too getting prepared for learning more i have Altirra 3.20 setup on my laptop exactly the same way the real 800XL hardware here so i can switch stuff between the two

 

Looking at all the Atari books/manuals/PDFS is there a good reliable way of copying and pasting text from those into Altirra 3.20 and the real 800XL and hows it done?

Think i will start with basic first with baby steps it's just which version too use?

I have no idea how to create or format blank disks or any use with cassettes i'm starting from complete scratch
