Sio2sd and the ATARI 800

[vazquezrick]

Hello all,

 

I recently pulled my Atari 800 out of storage and tried hooking up Lotharek's SIO2SD. The Atari works just fine. I hooked the SIO2SD up to my Atari 800XL and it works great. However, when I plug the SIO2SD into the 800 I get the following screen:

 

 

 

If I hit reset the Atari starts to boot the SIO2SD.xex then freezes.

 

The follow is what appears on the SIO2SD:

 

 

 

 

I think I turned the SIO High Speed feature off? Shift F3. Not sure.

 

Can someone help me get the SIO2SD device working with the ATARI 800?

 

Thanks

the SIO2SD is set to High-Speed SIO, the 800 won't load anything.
There should be a setting (read: button combo on SIO2SD) that disables that...

 

Looks like it has your answer what the button combo is *shrugs*

I had the same issue. You have to turn the high speed off.

Thank you for the replies. I think I turned the High Speed feature off. Perhaps not. Can someone give me a step by step process to turn off the SIO2SD high speed feature?

 

Thanks
