OSS 7 in 1 cart

Recommended Posts

Hi together,

 

Now, we have the source codes and binaries of:

 

1.) Action 3.6
2.) Basic XL 1.03
3.) Basic XE 4.2
4.) Integer Basic 1.00 C
5.) Mac/65 with DDT 3.6
6.) The Writer's Tool 2.25
7.) Tiny C+ 1.1

So, who is making a OSS 7 in 1 cartridge of this for the real hardware? ;-)

 

Maybe even better a flash cart, so always the new version can be used. :-)))

Wouldn't the Ultimate Cart or Unocart be more flexible?

Yes, that's why I have an OSS directory on my Ultimate SD Cart. I can put every version of everything OSS made in there.

 

I am not knocking the 5 in 1 at all. I just wished they had found a low enough profile socket to use.

 

Personally, I would have used press-fit socket pins like we did on the Sweet-16. That only raises the chip a couple mm higher than being soldered in. The only difference is that you need your PCB to have larger than normal holes for the pins. It looks like Michael used them on the TK-II as well.

Yep that is what I did on the piggy-backed version of TK-II, but not on the all in one stereo board. I needed to be able to insert a signal in-between on that one, hence the more conventional approach with the staggered double pin headers. Using the press fit pins really maintains a very low profile. In fact it's so low, that in certain machines I had to add a machine pin socket to raise it up and get some extra clearance. Any luck on finding a new source for those pins?

Would you please post links to information regarding the Integer BASIC and the tiny C+?

Sorry, did assume, you aleady knew.

In case you also missed the new versions from 2016 of these:

too.

 

Still missing:

 

•) Assembler Editor Cartridge Source Code

•) Atari Macro Assembler and Program Text Editor (AMAC) Source Code

•) OSS EASMD Source Code

•) OSS BASIC A+ Source Code

•) BUG/65 Source Code

Millmax makes low-profile machine pin sockets that reduce the clearance by only 0.95"/2.41mm, and the pins are only 0.030" diameter, perhaps these would work.

0.95" is, well, almost a full inch!  That is quite the reduction in clearance!  Methinks this measurement is possibly incorrect.  ?

Hello to all,

I wonder if "Tiny C+" exist somewhere in Cartridge .bin form. I see its existence only in floppy disc files.

 

I ask because just now I finished a new 5 in 1 prototype cartridge, who fitting in the new shell from Sikor. 
As I was wondering what I could do with the extra 3 empty places of eeprom, I came across this thread. 

 

This cartridge have also a socketed 1 Megabit eeprom.

Do all of the above use the newer OSS Cart banking scheme?  (Defined here:  https://www.atarimax.com/jindroush.atari.org/acarts.html)

 

 

 

Newer scheme, uses 2 d-flipflops, bits A0 and A3.

Physical order of banks: M, 0, 9, 1.

PCB Bottom (103 KB JPG)
PCB Top (96 KB JPG)
PCB Bottom (91 KB JPG) (with parts)

Schematics (8 KB GIF) drawn by me from the board pictures above. I doubt they are 100% correct, but are good enough to understand how does it work.

 

A3 A0 A000-AFFF B000-BFFF RD5 Values
0 0 bank 0 bank m 1 0,2,4,6
0 1 bank 1 bank m 1 1,3,5,7
1 0 off off 0 8,A,C,E
1 1 bank 9 bank m 1 9,B,D,F
