Your conversions have always been fantastic and still you continue to get better at making them. The shadows in the foreground from a mostly unseen tree not only look just right they give real depth to the image. I'm wishing yet again to have a PAL Atari rig. -SteveS

Using new old stock Sandisk 32GB class 4 (yep. I said "old stock") [EDIT] P.S. Everything OP listed runs here.

I find Jatari fun to play. I had issues - More than once I mispelled my answer. - once there was a list of items separated by commas. I neglected to insert the commas but otherwise my answer was correct. Suggestion: treat commas (and perhaps periods) like whitespace. - failing to type the article "the" in a title resulted in an incorrect answer. I don't recall if exact titles were required in the TV game Jeopardy or not. Perhaps the host would prompt, "I need more". I see a way to do this in Jatari. These issues are probably difficult to remedy via programming. Perhaps an option to manually override and flag the answer as CORRECT. Regards, -SteveS

This may seem trivial but I was stumped as to how to advance after completing the first level. Despite the title of the screen being "Select World:" I saw only "Escape from the Lab" as the only choice. I reached for OPTION, SELECT, and START but those aren't helpful at this point. I actually needed the suggestion (from mazzspeed [EDIT] actually, it was SadMan) to move RIGHT. Perhaps something like --> to point to the next choice. I've been playing by keyboard. Perhaps it would have been obvious had I been using a joystick. FloB is great fun and I can play it without a joystick! (I have arthritis in my thumbs and I'm still looking for an alternative to an Atari style joystick). -SteveS [EDIT] LOL Oh! The arrow could not have been any bigger. I must have thought it was part of the artwork. Just ignore me!

NTSC 800XL with Rambo XL 256 Mouse Copyright Notice Demo Fujinet 1.0 0:36 0:56 1:59 SWP ATR8000 0:52 1:36 2:47

Flob 1.0.1 works here. NTSC 800XL with AVGCart.

Sorry, as typical for me, it was a user error. I extracted newer fujinet-pc not realizing the files were extracting into folder ../fujinet-pc-fujinet-pc. I had moved the prior version into ../fujinet-pc. This folder name was easier for me to remember. The newer version never got compiled. It's working now.

I get this instead.

Is fujinet-pc at the point of development where it can support Bill Kendrick's ISS.XEX? I ask because I'm not sure about the cable I cobbled together. I think I have PROCEED connected to RTS but ISS.XEX is not retrieving data. -SteveS

For what it's worth I ran the pop_DDfastestmouse_notplayable2 test for better than 4.5 hours without issues. Hardware is an NTSC 800XL with Rambo XL 256 an FTDI based SIO2PC-USB cable with Hias' Reichl's atariserver disk emulator.

Thank you and best regards!

I'm revisiting your six-pack. I'm using AVGCart to load the each ATR (in non-SIO mode, for speed). The cart has the ability to mount multiple ATRs. I noticed it's possible to save to the program disk instead of the save game disk. I don't plan to do this but it's easy for me to make a mistake. Would accidentally saving to the program disk corrupt said disk? Regards, SteveS p.s. Still loving these Quads! Thanks! p.p.s. I can't believe 8 years have passed!

I don't recall if I ever tried to use the serial port of the ATR8000 with DOS 2.5 so I wanted to test. Unfortunately I no longer have a null modem or a PC with a real serial port with which connect. I decided to cobble together a NodeMCU dev board into a wifi modem for the ATR8000 for testing. It took me quite a bit of time because I am still bad at soldering and made many mistakes. Not even sure how it started working. The build would have been simple for anyone else. Only a small piece of prototype board, a MAX233 IC, and a card edge connector is all I used. And, a last minute decoupling capacitor. Too late to make a long story short. The driver I had on my work disk (ATR) for a couple decades or more does not work under Does 2.5 or 2.0 (S?). It does work with MyDOS 4.53/4. The driver seems limited to 4800 bps. I thought (but am not certain) at some point I had found a driver that worked with the ATR8000 at 9600 bps. Hopefully one day that driver will resurface. Sorry, none of this fills erichenneke's request but perhaps the driver is one that hasn't been archived. I'm posting a ZIP with ATR8000.SER and some other drivers. -SteveS A8SerialDrivers.zip

Sorry, I didn't say that very well. when I said "derailed" I meant by *me* making my request of you.

I don't want stay off topic for long but a whole new thread would seem out of context just for this question. Does Axlon upgrade only require 2 16K RAM boards be in the system to get the full 48K base memory? I had always thought 16K + 32K boards were required. would have deterred me from buying axlon in the early '80s. I can blame only procrastination from then on.

I get that same screen booting my stock 800 with AVGCart. Press RESET. AVGCart menu should appear. Please let me know how well SDX and Side 2 emulation (via AVGCart) works with the Axlon upgrade. I basically only use the 800 for some games when the 800XL is doing something else. I'd love to put Axlon "some day". (I've been saying "some day" for Axlon upgrade since the day it was announced)

Hi, luckybuck! Great to see you are still around! This is the first I've heard of Turbo BASIC XL 2.11. Before this thread gets further derailed I urge you to start a new thread and provide a brief description of where Turbo BASIC XL stands now and where future development might be headed. Thanks!

SJCarden dropped me a note last night in chat (currently at ##atari channel on Freenode but the users are are likely moving 100% to Libera Chat). SJCarden probably intended the message to be in response to this thread. He said, "Please pas it along that TDline2 will work with sd2.2c,d,m sd3.3a,b,c,d all versions of RealDOS" I'm pretty sure TDLINE2 has a fixed DOW function. I don't use it myself because my DS1307/DS3231 non-driver conflicts with TDLINE2 and I can't code my way out of a paper bag. -SteveS

My 800 records 55 degrees almost immediately after program loads via SIO2PC-USB. My 800XL never changes from 15 degrees. Thanks to my RTC module, a DS3231, inside the 800XL I know the ambient temperature is 89 degrees F (31.67 C).

a8isa1's 800 shifts to bar 6 in 50 seconds from a cold start <-- click here to view

You can see what happens if you click my link. I don't know how to embed videos. Sorry.

a8isa1's 1981 800 <--click me Takes only 1:15 for all the test segments to black out from a cold start. I needed to flash a cartridge with drpeter_Artefact_Test_3.1.xex otherwise the machine would be mostly warmed up before the test started.

Yes, 800XL display appears as in your photo except with the NTSC palette.

Sorry, no scanlines. My display these days is limited to a pretty basic and now old scan converter and a low end VGA 4:3 LCD. Scanlines get filtered out. These are the best pictures I can manage.

On my 1981 NTSC 800 the line appears at marking 6, whether cold or warmed up. My 800XL cases and motherboards have been swapped so many times I cannot say the age of the system. Current incarnation has a second revision NTSC Antic if that matters. Line always appears at marking 5. Regards, SteveS
