marcokitt2000 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hello, Is there a higher version of speed start initializer from bibosoft (E. Reuse) 3.4 1988 (it's on speedy boot menu). I like this blue menu and when used steve zipp tool ssi color editor you can change the color. But with version 3.4 is it not working steve zipp programmed it 1987 i have had version 3us 1985 thats works not 3.0 warp. Maybe some one can hack it or change it. you no steve zipp it will fomat the floppy disc. Gr. Marco atari utilities A.ATR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) This was one of the first menu disks I came across. Nothing special about it in any way. I didn't notice it in any collections so far, so here it is for posterity. Requires osb or translator disk. It's a simple autorun.sys file, just copy the files over. early_menu.atr Edited August 6, 2020 by invisible kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddyFree Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I used this one on several disks back in the day. It used SpartaDOS formatted disks and supported US Doubler High Speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddyFree Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 21 hours ago, _The Doctor__ said: post it up Instead of just posting the files needed, I made an ATR with everything you need to generate your own boot disks with this menu. I also included two already made empty boot disks with menu, one single density and one double density. You can use copies of these and just add your own binary load programs/games with SpartaDOS if you don't want to make them with the menu maker program. The menu making files are on the "makeboot.atr". This is a SpartaDOS 1.1 formatted disk with everything needed to make boot disk with this menu yourself. There is a DOC file on the disk that explains the process. KeithLedbettersMakeBoot.zip 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilheim Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Here in my country (Chile) the Quickmenu! maker from Pirate's Treasure Chest was widely used. The problem is that this menu only worked with single and medium densities. Because of that, I designed at that time a 3 sectors quickmenu-style maker. It works with any MyDOS disk with single, medium and double density, single or double-sided disks (Should work with 3.5" 720k disks, not tested). It's downside is that only works with original XL/XE OS. Maybe I can solve that, but I'm not sure if it's worth. Attached is the menu maker. Just put the disk you want to write onto and press START. Then, press OPTION to boot the disk at once. Next time, you can boot it any time you want. MENU4.xex 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I suspect he'd like a place or link to the materials that you have collected and have been provided over the years. It may not be on forum, but it's highly likely you still have it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bacardi Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Not sure if this has been published already elsewhere here, but a quick search didn't bring up DoubleDos by Arndt Bär, the same guy who wrote Track Copier for Turbo 1050...

+bf2k+ Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 1984 QuikLoader by Micropulse (I didn't see it on the list) This is the disk creator (.ARC) and the games disk (.ATR) seen above. 1. Boot DOS 2 and format a blank disk 2. Load the creator (QUIKLOAD.COM) 3. Put the blank disk in D1: 4. Press Start 5. Copy games to disk 6. Lock the games you want to show up. I also didn't see Fender's or RadMenu on the list. Want me to upload those? quikload.arc QLgames.atr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
