    The SIO connector + software (APE) from www.atarimax.com is very, very nice and makes cross development a snap. In addition to being able to access any ATR file ( and others ) from the PC hard drive, you can host a 16MB atari 'hard drive' on your PC, and also you can mount a PC directory as if it were an atari disk. So I use CC65 from www.CC65.com to develop for the 8-bit, and my executables get written directly to an atari-readable 'disk' file. So the dev cycle is very fast, no transferring required. The atarimax software is not free, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

    I have a small IO board that I was considering trying to interface to a joystick port. The board has AD type pin inputs. I was wondering what actually happens electrically to the pins on a joy stick port...that is, if a pin is configured for output, and I write a 1 on it, does the external pin now carry a voltage? I know very little about the hardware side of this kind of interfacing. I see a lot about pins and +5/-5 or 0 volts, which makes me think that turning 'on' a pin means applying a voltage...eh to it, or across it, or whatever. Any clues from you hardware gurus?

    Maybe those people exists, but you won't find them here

     

    omg you made coffee come out my nose, Tom. LOL.

     

    Triguns ok. Whatever it is that he thinks he is doing, he seems to have at least a decent sense of humor about it. I don't really consider him a troll.

    Rape is never ok. It's never understandable. It's never excused.

     

     

    But, it happens all the time, unfortunately. The Indians themselves, while clearly the victims in this particular age, also practised it and various other forms of mayhem with great enthusiasm upon each other and on the invading europeans.

    Go look on Ebay?

     

     

    But barring that...maybe open up your comp and reseat your memory and whatever other chips if possible. Pop out and clean any edge connector cards ( if it has any, I cant remember ). Leave it on for a bit and see if any chip ( other than the cpu ) gets HOT. A hot chip usually means a bad chip. BE CAREFUL poking around with the power on, and DO NOT WEAR YOUR TINFOIL SUIT.

    eh...or not, as the case may be.

     

     

    And I think you gusy are ignoring another key aspect of the (RL) Gen. Custer : he was an idiot. Really stupid. Lucky, handsome, well born, but a dumbass. Any frikkin moron could have told him that last fight was a strategically Really Bad Idea.

    Ok.....hardware lust grips me yet again....any opinions on what is the best video card out there currently? Cost is not really a factor. I mean, I don't want to drop 60k on a scientific visualization card thats more powerful than all the desktops in East Anglia put together...well, at least while they havent ported Duck Hunt yet. But I owuld like to get a kickbutt video card. Any ideas?
