Thank you again! And I was obviously hallucinating when I looked at my batari Basic syntax files, because there were no 6502 opcodes in it after all-- but I do have the TIA/RIOT registers in it. Michael Anyone else tried this out? I have revised and re-posted this a few times, so feel free to grab the latest. I will post it to the Crimson Editor forums soon. James

Obtained.

I added DASM stuff and replaced the download file. James

Thanks - that's the kind of input I need. I'll take a look at DASM and pull out the corresponding directives. James

I did a bit of searching to see if there were any syntax files available for 6502 assembly editing with Crimson Editor. While I found a couple posts of people requesting such files as well as at least one post by someone who has at least done part of it already, I could not find anything readily available to grab and use for my coding. So, I took it upon myself to start working on one, and the endeavor is also turning out to be a good way to brush up on my assembly while finding differences among various assemblers. To make a long post short, I have posted the syntax files I created for anyone interested. I welcome any feedback from those of you who use Crimson Editor, and I'm specifically interested in reports of any errors and omissions in the spec. I'll warn you that I started with the 8-bit compilers that I'm most familiar with and am branching out from there in an effort to make the syntax coverage as complete as possible. After a few rounds of revisions, I plan to submit this to the Crimson Editor forums for public comsumption. You can grab it here: http://www.slor.net/a8/6502spec.zip thanks James

Anyone have a 3000 sitting around gathering dust?

I guess "Sorry honey, I need to get to the chat room." might put a damper on your evening.

It's Thursday again - same time, same channel!

GREAT turnout last week - hope to see everyone again tonight!

I don't believe it's the same layout - at least it's not for the version of the SC1224 that I have. I appreciate the offer though! thanks

8-bitters as well as ST users welcome: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98178

Hey everyone - don't forget about the weekly Atari chat tonight. Official gathering time is 8:00pm CST, and you have 3 options for getting in: - Use your favorite IRC client to connect to irc.newnet.net and join channel #atari. - Telnet from your 8-bit or other machine to irc.atarichat.net (216.37.55.109) and login as "atari". This will get you into the chat without the need for an actual IRC client. - Use the Java applet found at http://www.newnet.net. If you can't make it around 8:00 tonight, or if you would like to stop in other times, feel free to drop in anytime. There are generally a few lurkers hanging around, so you may catch some good coversation at any random visit.

I have an SM124 monitor that works fine, but the rear section of the plastic shell is broken in multiple places. If anyone has one of these that doesn't work but has a good rear shell section, I'd certainly be willing to take that piece off your hands before you toss the monitor. thanks! James

We started with other networks that didn't seem extremely reliable, and I know someone who really likes newnet. It's been very stable thus far... James

OK, so this really isn't "classic" stuff that I'm posting about, but I'm in need of a bunch of PC133 memory for some older machines I have. If anyone has any to spare (128MB or bigger is preferable), please drop me a line. thanks! James

Hope to see you there around 8:00pm CST: server: irc.newnet.net channel: #atari If you don't want to use an IRC client, you can use the Java client on http://www.newnet.net or follow the telnet instructions given previously (just note the correct server name).

FYI - due to apparent instabilities with irc.openirc.net, we're moving to irc.newnet.net. Same channel.

I have 10 original Apple II game disks packed up in a hard floppy case and boxed to ship. Unfortunately, the person who I was about to send them to had to back out of the deal. If anyone is interested in getting ahold of these, please drop me a PM. I have the following: 3.5" floppy - Bard's Tale 3 5.25" floppy - Frogger - Gauntlet - Hardball - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Into the Eagle's Nest - Paperboy - Tharolian Tunnels - Xevious - Zaxxon Thanks! James

Does anyone have any spare power supplies for the Atari XL/XE series computers? It seems every time I get a new machine I also have a power supply go south on me. If you happen to have an extra or two, please drop me a PM so we can work something out. thanks! James

List continues to be updated.

I have one on my tradelist. Works great, so it's too bad you want to tear it up, but that's your business. Anyway, take a look and let me know if you have a trade or cash offer. If you're parting it out anyway, I may remove and keep the extra plug I put in for the power supply... James

See the "free stuff" section of my trade list. Pretty sure I have the Genny 2 type.

I see, then you would not need more than 64k in most cases. Have you tried to have both OSb and XE rom on 2 different chips and switching between the 2 for your problem with 400/800 carts and XL/XE cart? something like this? That's another switch I don't want to have to flip. At any rate, I got it built with Omnimon, and so far nothing I've put in it has failed to run. So, I'm calling it the 600XLGS (GS for Game System). It now has 64K RAM, A/V output, Omnimon XL OS, and built-in Galaxian. I can't think of much else that would need doing for this purpose, so I'm also calling it "done". James

Then I assume you have done the composite video output. Or Metalguy's internal MyIDE. The OS version fits inside a 600xl I too like the 600xl for its size. I have 4. 2 upgraded to 64k and I have 1 external 64k upgrade from Microbits. 1 with the composite mod. I just bought a PAL 600xl too. I did the ram upgrade, Metalguy did the composite. I probably could have done it, but I did not have all those parts. I think BEST has the full mod for only $12. You will lose the Channel 2-3 switch with that mod though. It should then look like the PAL 600xl ports. He is working on a 256k upgrade for someone, but he has been busy with the MIO boards. If you are interested, let him know. He might give it more priority. I have the parts for the A/V mod and will be installing them today (the one I got did come from Best, and it has a few more parts than the freenet mod). Also, I did a little more querying and found that Omnimon may be the best OS for me here. In my testing thus far, it has worked with both cartridge extremes and it of course will run the internal BASIC cartridge as well, so that'll most likely be the one. How do you like the external RAM upgrade? I also got my ram parts from Best and chose to go with the internal mod to keep it as low profile as possible. 64K should be enough for me since this machine will be dedicated to running cartridge games. The other machines I use are loaded up with bigger ram, internal MyIDEs with CF cards, etc. etc. James
