  1. I use an 800XL with a Rambo 256k mod to read the disks from either a Happy 1050 or an Indus GT with Ramcharger, and write to ATRs located on a PC in APE thru an APE cable. I use two batch files... one for the 1050 and one for the Indus to call Konrad's HSDC copying program. IIRC, I use SpartaDOS X 4.49. Depending on the disk, sometimes the Happy reads faster... sometimes the Indus. All in all, this works well for me.
  2. No I removed all of the 4050s. No scope here. I do not know where my old Tektronix landed but I don't think it survived the move to this house as I cannot find it anymore. (Same with my RANA floppy drive.)
  3. That looks fantastic... 7 cities is probably one of the only games I have played more than once. I bought it BITD and loved it.
  4. I have a strange video issue going on here. Perhaps someone can shed some light. I have 4 NTSC CPUs... Atari 800XL w/Rambo 256k and Brian's original video mod Atari 800XL with U1MB, Side 2 and UAV video Atari 800XL with U1MB, Side 3 and UAV video Atari 600XL with Lothareks's 64k mod and UAV. (On this one, I removed the RF modulator and added a monitor port.) The 600XL has no color when used with the RetroTink monitor option but works fine on the C=1702. The 800XLs all work perfectly on both setups. CPU Commodore 1702 RetroTink with Dell monitor 1. 800XL #1 OK OK 2. 800XL #2 OK OK 3. 800XL #3 OK OK 4. 600XL #4 OK No color; clean signal All CPUs use the same cables on the monitor setup. One cable set for the C=1702, another cable set for the RetroTink. Any ideas?
  5. I think it was... definitely if you were running a BBS... no issues with the C. I remember raising hell with MPP about this, to no avail. But soon after I had Hayes and USR modems.
  6. Nope they weren't. If you were running a BBS on the 1000e, the user could not be disconnected because there was apparently no software control of DTR on this modem. I found out the hard way. The way I fixed this was to attach a relay to the joystick port and use a poke in the basic BBS program to pull in the relay and disconnect the phone line.
  7. Yep... I got it all working using the built-in IDE+ menu. Now on another subject... the old rev C has BIOS 0.8 in it. Can I use the update utils on your website to update this old one? Or should I leave it alone?
  8. Will this thing work with Atari 8 bits?
  9. Tried it... it is for RealDOS only so it won't run under SD3.2g
  10. Are you talking about ULTD.SYS in your toolkit dated 070721 or is it in a newer version?
  11. The BBS I am experimenting with doesn't use TDLINE.COM. At any rate, the date is correct (1/13/24); The Day of Week is correct (Sat); but the time on the Atari is 45 mins fast. How would a different version of TDLINE correct this?
  12. I have figured it out... I am using an IDE2Plus Rev C device which apparently has a RT Clock in it and this is interfering with it... now to figure out how to read this clock in SpartaDos 3.2G... Any ideas?
  13. I am using APETIME.COM on an 800XL to get the date/time from my PC running APE. I know it is working because the date is correct but the time is exactly 45 minutes fast on the XL vs the PC. The PC has the correct time. The XL time is 45 minutes in the future... Time travel here at the Boot Factory BBS. This is SpartaDOS 3.2G running on a Rambo 800XL w/256k, Brian's old video mod and the AtariMax 32n1 OS. I'm using the stock 800XL OS rev C (w/reverse Basic) but I have tried several other stock XL OSes. Ape is registered v3.0.13. Has anyone ever seen this behavior? (I have not). (I am posting this here because I am locked out of the AtariMax website for some unknown reason)
