Atari 810 Happy Drive - Help needed

[Horry]

Hi folks,

 

i recently checked some of my Atari 8-bit hardware and discovered the following problems:

 

- If i try to access my 810 Happy Drive and my 1050 Happy Drive from the "Happy Warp Speed Menu" Disk, only one drive is recognized as a Happy Drive, depending on the Revision of the Disk (Rev 5.x: 810, Rev 6.x and 7.x: 1050). As far as i remember i was able to copy from 810 to 1050 via Happy Backup in the past. Any ideas?

 

- I had a 810 Happy Drive that was compatible with "Happy Warp Speed Menu Rev 7.10" that i traded for a XEGS. Before i gave it away i dumped the EPROM content to disk. The disk with the EPROM image is unfortunately no longer readable - is there any way to get a dump of the EPROM on the internet?

 

- The 810 i traded also had the ability to switch to slower speed, my recent drive does not repond to the "slow speed" command. As far as i remember there was a tiny electrical circuit that did the job. Are there any schematics or other information available to implement this feature to my drive?

 

- My "Happy Warp Speed Menu Rev 5.6" disk is also no longer readable and i haven't been able to find an atr-image on the internet. Has anyone dumped his disk and can send it to me?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

not sure if you will find what you need, but there are loads of disk utilities at the 8bit forever site

Thank you.

 

I already checked this an dozens of other sites and unfortunately didn't find what i'm looking for.

 

Maybe any other ideas?

I dug up my old 5.2 and 5.3 HWS disks, but they have become totally unreadable.
