Since most carts don't have eprom boards in them, that wouldn't seem like the easiest thing to do. Only thing I'm willing to modify is the machine itself, and it seems that the 800 OS with 64K memory is the ticket. I'm actually doing all this with a 600XL because it's the smallest of the bunch. I've upgraded the memory to 64K, swapped in the 800 OS, swapped in Galaxian for BASIC (in case I ever find an OS that will play everything AND support the built in cartridge rom), and I'm upgrading the video today. This compact machine should fit well on my game console rack. James

Thanks for the suggestions. I have the 32-in-1 in another machine (it's great), but I'm looking for doing as little as possible to move from one game to the next. Of course, the exception to that is I actually like to use the original carts as well. Not sure why - it's just my thing. This reply did remind me to do something I had meant to do already, and that was to try the XE games on my XL with the 32-in-1 booted in OS-B. Lo and behold, it ran everything I tried in it. If the image Steven uses for the 32-in-1 is modified to be a 16-bit binary, then I should be able to get that from him and stick it in my game machine. James Indeed! Thanks again for helping to knock my brain back into place. I pulled the OSB image from the 32-in-1, stuck it in the XL, and everything works just fine. This was actually the first thing I was going to try before I started messing with BOSS, and it's amazing how the easy things get away from you. The only thing that I can't do now is make use of the Galaxian image I put in place of built-in BASIC (since OSB doesn't know anything about built-in BASIC). There's another OS for the 32-in-1 listed as "800 compatible". I wonder if it recognized the built-in BASIC rom. Guess I'll just have to see... James

wut do youe mean by "free stuff" on ur site? Anything that shows up on the "free stuff" list is something I'm willing to send out for only the cost of shipping (or would include in something else you buy/trade for). Someone may be taking all the docs I listed there, but I can make copies of anything you need if you tell me before I rid myself of them. As I continue to go through my stuff, I expect the "free stuff" list will grow. James

Surely there is a solution for this: I have an XL machine that I intend to use exclusively for running game cartridges. As everyone knows, there are some games (Demon Attack, K-Razy Kritters, etc.) that will not run on the XL OS without a translator, and there are some games (Ace of Aces, Desert Falcon, etc.) that will not run on an 800. In the latter case, I'm not exactly sure if there's an issue with OS-B itself or if it's purely because of the 64K memory requirement. Now, I took my XL and followed a suggestion to replace the OS chip with BOSS XL since it was designed to allow the older software to run with the newer machines. It runs the old 800-only stuff quite well, but it fails to run the majority of XE games I've tried (Fight Night actually worked). I have tried versions 1.0 and 2.0 of BOSS XL with the same results. What I'm not sure about is if I've missed some specific way to boot BOSS XL in order to make the XE games work or it this is a limitation of the OS. Bottom line, I would love to have this machine run all of the cartridges I have (or at least the vast majority of them), so I'm looking for any direction anyone can offer. Thanks! James

No problem - It's possible I might have some of the manuals you're looking for. Let me know which specific ones you need. James

Both lists have been updated quite a bit over the last week. Hopfully I'll have something you're looking for or vice-versa. James

I will look this evening. I got through everything tonight and unfortunately did not find this one. Seems I hit just about every other language, but not this one. Sorry, James

I will look this evening.

A while back, I got ahold of a large load of stuff from a former, obviously pretty serious, 8-bit junkie. The last part of stuff that I had yet to go through (until today) is the massive collection of documentation, mostly photocopies, that was included. I will try to put together a list of everthing that's in there to add to my site, but it may be a while. In the meantime, if anyone is looking for specific hardware (400/800 schematics and such), utility (productivity software, assemblers, debuggers, etc.), game, or other documentation from the 400/800 era, it's extremely possible that I may have a copy of it buried somewhere. I know I've found some software disks in there that had been wanted by the community for a while, so maybe the same will hold true with the documents. Many of them I don't even need myself - the others I can make copies of if someone needs one. Anyway, let me know if I can help look for any specific gems you're missing. One of you may even end up with an official binder from an Atari boot camp. James

I finally put together a quick site with my trade and want lists. They are works in progress and sure to grow. Please take a look at http://www.slor.net/trade and drop me a line if anything tickles your fancy. thanks! James

Seems I have now obtained a burner that likes the other EPROMs, so I'll hang onto them.

Looks like I'm covered now.

I have both a 2600 and 7800 that I would like to have modded for A/V output. If anyone here can do both, please drop me a PM. The 2600 is a 4-switcher with woodgrain front, and the 7800 is already modded to accept a 2600 power plug. I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Thanks James

Thanks - McGrail007 actually contacted me today, and we just did a deal on a number of his. My trade list is below. Mostly common stuff, but here it is anyway: Atari 8-bit Games: - Asteroids - Defender - Demon Attack - Galaxian - Pole Position - Star Raiders Atari 8-bit Utilities: - Action! (includes ring bound manual, and I can include a copy of the Toolkit disk) - Atari LOGO - Music Composer - PILOT Atari 2600: - E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial - Frogger - Jr. Pac-Man - Laser Blast (label pretty beat up) - Phoenix - Space Attack - Star Voyager (label a little beat up) NES Games: - T&C Surf Designs Genesis Games: - X-Men 2: Clone Wars Random Systems/Hardware: - Atari 800 - Genesis 1 console - Genesis 3 console Pictures available upon request. I'll continue to add stuff and add an "official" tradelist link to my signature soon. James

By the way, I have a few spares to trade as well, including an Action! cart with yellow ring-bound manual. James

If anyone has any 68764 EPROMs or knows where I might obtain some for a decent price, please drop me a line. Thanks

I'm looking to fill plenty of holes in my Atari 8-bit computer cartridge stash. If you have any you are looking to get rid of (sell, trade, whatever), please feel free to drop me a line with your list of carts as well as any specific trade items you might be looking for. thanks! James

My list of good traders: - a8maestro - accousticguitar - atari2600land - birdie3 (multiple deals) - classics (multiple deals) - decypher - dragos (multiple deals) - Dusk2600 - Guitarman - JellE (multiple deals) - KaineMaxwell - LeafsFan47 - mcgrail0007 - missyrelm - pacc76 - Pigula - purenergy - RangerG - rheffera - skunkworx - sniperstorm (multiple deals) - tjb - tynstar - walter_J64bit Excellent transactions by all! -- Slor

I have a stack of 33 2764 EPROMs that I can't use (only because my programmer seems to only like the Intels). They were purchased for $.50/chip, and I'll sell the lot for $15 + shipping or trade for Atari 8-bit stuff. I erased them all, and I'll guarantee that they arrive in good working condition. Please drop me a PM if interested. Thanks! James

All gone.

Would you please update the Dis6502 link to its official home at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dis6502? thanks! James
