ok... work your way thru this

 

SIO2PC-USB - Atarimax - using APE/Prosystem - Making real disks from ATRs
1] chain devices: Atari >> Disk Drive(s) >> SIO2PC >> PC
2] power up PC - SIO2PC LEDs should flash 3x
3] boot Atari with any disk in place (old menu disks are quicker) SIO2PC LEDs should repeatedly flash during boot
4] Run APE from PC - select Menu - >> IMAGE TOOLBOX >> launch PROSYSTEM
5] should say "1 drive detected"
NB - Handshake is more reliable with Atari powered up
key steps - answer each
step 2 - answer YES? ok,
answer NO? - check control panel, install drivers, check SIO cable and USB cable, swap these
once you can get a YES to step 2, then next key step is step 5
answer YES? - all good
answer NO? - run hardware setup from APE
