[800XL and 1050 Bundle Pricing in the 80s]

I got my Atari 800XL with 1010 program recorder with a games pack from woolworths for £80

Then at a later point 1050 from Silica Shop for £200

I think it was at Boots you could buy the actual games

[Atari SF314 & SF354 Drive repair and newbie questions]

For me my Atari 1040STE works perfectly with the OSSC 1.6 lot less lag then the XRGB-mini and without sync issues

Tested with SAMSUNG T32E310 32" LED TV/MONITOR and Samsung SyncMaster P2250

 

Bear in mind if you want high resolution monochrome output monitor will need to support 72khz refresh rate

[Recasing an 810 drive - was that a thing to do?]

Looks awful

[Shaolin, finally]

Let's see: Damocles: 1307 downloads. Mercenary 3: 1202 downloads. My hard disk adaptations. Did not get some complains about not working.

So, excuse me, but there are working copies - pardon, what copies ? On what system you want to run it at all ?

 

Looking TOSEC for floppy images: no Damocles. WTF ? Ahh, it is under Mercenary 2, and there is Mercenary 3 and one mission disk. Most likely, you can find same at planetemu.net .

 

Here are some hints and how to set Hddriver - for older stuff mostly: http://atari.8bitchip.info/GamexUsage.html

 

For gaming on Atari ST most important is to keep it as much possible standard, to not install RAM hungry SW. New solutions as NetUsBee USB storage drivers can be just not good for games.

And USB mouse will not work too, just to add - in many, if not most cases. Those C programmer folks just don't care for compatibility. EmuTOS people goes so far that blaming SW authors if something works not with EmuTOS, while it works well with all regular TOS versions. Really arrogant attitude. Especially in case of retro computer, where people running mostly old SW - or would like to run TOS is not flawless (and what is ?), but it is good OS and does what is expected - well, from realistic people. Just don't try using it same as some modern OS. Learn how to run it clean.

 

Okay thanks i did not see these i blame the game name changes (not buy you)

But i don't see the two Damocles data disks unless you packed them with Damocles hd package?

 

The only place i can find one of Damocles data disks is on POMPY PIRATES PP_042v2 for DAMOCLES MISSION DISK 1

and the main Damocles game on POMPY PIRATES PP_041 for Damocles (both in MSA format)

 

The other DAMOCLES MISSION DISK 2 (in ST format) here https://www.emuparadise.me/Atari_ST_ROMs/Mercenary_2_-_Damocles_Mission_Disk_2_(1990)(Novagen)/113738

[Shaolin, finally]

Peter any chance of fixing these please can't find good working copies of these anywhere on the net?
