Ransom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Super SALT works for all A8 computers -- 400, 800, XL, XE. Edited to add: the extended test unit also works with them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thank you Ransom. But, schematics about them? As for extended test unit, you mean the Diagnostic Assemnbly PBI unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think the technical term for it is "the doohickie in the 850 case." Schematics about what? You lost me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 "the doohickie in the 850 case".. Ah Ok I know this device. I am search about the schematics diagrams of the super SALT cartridge, or some pictures of pcb, from someone which is in the possession of.

Ransom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ah. Well, I have a super SALT cartridge, but no schematics diagrams, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr0tki Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ransom, could you consider imaging the SuperSALT's ROM? The currently available ROM image was recreated from a hacked file version, and it differs from the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry, I don't have the equipment for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 More importantly, you need time. Which I don't have. Maybe some day though. Or someone else who has the time and materials can buy one from BEST Electronics and dump it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr0tki Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Indeed, one such utility was posted here on the forums. Works OK under the emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told this is a very Rare and hard Cartridge to find. since this is an Original one/ Thanks Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faicuai Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Folks: It seems that this topic re-surfaces from time-to-time, and the need for a fresh/original dump is still there. I do have this cartridge, and it is already imaged @ 16K, as it is part of my main 8Mbit flash-cart. I am honestly a bit reluctant to post it, but if I sense enough critical mass (e.g. +10 clicks on "like this"), I will post the pristine image/dump for your evaluation / review. If not, I will simply assume that it has little or no real interest, and let it rest. Cheers, F. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get a 16k rom installed into a 8k rom only device???? mycollectionSALT.zip Edited February 29, 2012 by rdea6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 That dump from sloopy isn't right. It looks as if it started and ended several hundred bytes too early - has bits of text where the cartridge vectors should be. Here's the one I've had for a while, no idea if it's doctored in any way.

Kr0tki Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. To be precise I only meant the CPS SuperSALT cartridge - dumps of other ones are known. If Ransom owns another version (such as SuperSALT SE.02) then please ignore me. I am honestly a bit reluctant to post it, but if I sense enough critical mass (e.g. +10 clicks on "like this"), I will post the pristine image/dump for your evaluation / review.

SALT 2.05.zip I went and dumped my cart again, and compared the files, the bytes at begin/end look the same, but the MD5 sum's were diff... so I dunno what happened... my cart still works so, who knows... also, my redump md5 is also diff from your bin attached... sloopy.

Don't know if it the file one ... good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faicuai Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 "Ask and ye shall receive". Nice attention-whoring, I must admit. You bet. The difference is that I SPENT MY CASH to get the real-McCoy, instead of coming here and asking here for a free, undisturbed dump of the material from someone else... The good news is that the self-appointed Mall-Cops have already jumped in and effectively spared me for doing so... For those who clicked: I will consider sending you my dump, once I come back from my business trip, Friday night, or Sat. Morning. (I am now traveling outside of the U.S.). For the rest: my sincere advice is that, instead of being dirt-CHEAP, just GO BUY YOUR OWN CART, at Best Electronics. You will feel better. F.

If you're looking for an exotic version, I probably don't have it. Is the the particular doohickie you have in mind???? That looks like it's the one! I have one in an 850 case (again, bought from BEST recently). It's wonderful to be able to definitively test all my A8 computers finally...

santosp Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks the sloopy for the effort, regardless of the result. Also you guys rdea6, Rybags, Ransom and also the sup8pdct for the pics! As I see the external device have a switch to select Atari 400 or 800 for check. For the newest one it work? Also the super SALT latest version I believe cause must be 16K and no 8. Ooohh something last. Before you run to Best to buy one, can you tell me your opinion about making some of that? I mean a full version with plastic enclosures. Also what would be a normal selling price? Edited February 29, 2012 by santosp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
