Looking for Dragon Ethernet cart

[manterola]

Hi everyone. After more than 10 years I have started to use my Atari Computers (800xl and 65xe w/eci). I've been a reader of AtariAge for years...

Anyway, I have discovered a bunch of new developments around Atari 8bit stuff, like the updated Contiki for atari8 and a lot of new hardware. I'm looking to get an Sio2Sd and the Dragon Ethernet cart.

I already built an SIO2PC which is working perfectly with an rs232 USB adapter in Ubuntu (I just compiled sio2linux).

I haven't found any way to get a Dragon Ethernet cart, though.

Any suggestion?.. I am also thinking in expand the memory of my 65XE... But there are too many options...

Thanks in advance

Hi Mauricio,

 

contact the user "danwinslow" here on AtariAge. Maybe he has one to offer .

 

There are a lot of memory expansions out there. One of the best and most easiest way to built-in is the Ultimate 1 MB. This expansion has 1 MB of extended memory, switchable operating systems, basic-roms, internal SpartaDOS X and a RTC (Real Time Clock). You don´t need to drill holes in your case for switches, it has a BIOS like you know it by modern PCs. And FJC´s new BIOS is a jewel for that - for fee.

 

Most times the chips on an Atari XE mainboard aren´t in sockets, some solder work must be done (removal of MMU, OS-ROM). If you aren´t able to do by you yourself, some users here can help for sure - depending on the area you live.

Thanks Jurgen,

I'll look that expansion. I'll also check the internal of my 65XE to see if I have sockets or if I'm lucky to have the 130XE board.

 

Thanks again.
