27ace27 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 is it possible to run a chat room/ website combo with one or more atari 400's? and how might one do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I dunno. It might be possible to create a chatroom by banging rocks together. The real question is would anyone want to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataridano Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Why not use IRC? Any computer or terminal would be an option that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwhyte Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You could probably rig something up locally... basic texting between rooms basically... have it emit that god awful atascii 253 sound when one comes in... Sorry to go off topic, but just where is the sound routine that handles the CTRL-2 (ATASCII 253) located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urchlay Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sorry to go off topic, but just where is the sound routine that handles the CTRL-2 (ATASCII 253) located? Looks like $F556 in the XL/XE ROMs. It doesn't respect the XL keyclick disable flag at $02DB either... If you patch the OS, set the byte at $F556 to $60 (an RTS), then ctrl-2 just has a normal keyclick noise, and printing the bell character ($FD) does nothing. In the atari800 monitor, you can say "m f556 60"... on real hardware you could copy the ROM OS to RAM and just use POKE in BASIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
