SIO2SD question

[SIO2SD question]

Idiots usually don’t recognise what they are, so I doubt your analysis is correct in that part.

 

Trying a new SD card (Toshiba) made music over here. Will run some more test with both cards, and especially connected to the 800. All’s well that ends well.

had an error problem using an old polaroid 1G card, doing a full over write fixed it.

[SIO2SD question]

Have 2 versions of the device ,one from lotharek, the other from a UK vendor, both have cfg s2s v35. File selector works only on 800XL, not on 400 48K or 800.Is this normal?

Aso have pproblem with SIO CFG Error when using Polaroid SD card. San disk PNY and Adata all work fine.

[SIO2SD question]

let me see if this is what is being asked

how do I copy my real disks to my sio2sd?

 

what we need to know...

do you also have a real 1050 or better Atari disk drive?

 

if yes, then you can follow the direction for creating blank atr(s) then sector copy using disk wizard II from the real drive to the sio2sd drives atr. rinse repeat...

 

If you are trying to copy protected original disk. (not write protect but copy protection) You can still do the disk wizard copy but will need to do a further step and use chipmunk or some other protection defeating software to modify the resulting copy. It will then run...

we have 2 Happy 810 and a Rana 1000 stock, so maybe not better than 1050.

[SIO2SD question]

To transfer floppy files (ATR) or executable files (XEX) you only have to copy them on SD Atari folder.

Thanks again for reply. I was referring to actual floppys , I have many disks aquired back in the 80"s, some versions of certain games that I have not seen in the compilations so far.

Basic SIO2SD setup and instructions here: https://www.santellocco.com/atari/consigli-sio2sd.htm#english

Thanks much for the links,are there any instructions on advanced SIO2SD functions such as how to transfer existing floppy files to SD?

[SIO2SD question]

sio2sd it able to handle xex and atr.. (that means individual files AND whole disk images)

Keep in mind here is a noob in this field. how are ATX and APE files used?

[SIO2SD question]

Recently got a SIO2SD to supplement the other "antique" Atari gear I resurrected. My question is since this device needs XEX file type, many compilations only have ATX and APE file types.Is there a way to convert these to a file type that theSIO2SD can read. My "old" gear consist of 400 48K, 800 48K, 800XL stock 2 Happy 810 one Rana drive
