Jeffrey Worley Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Years ago when I ran Cheez Daddy's House of Funk, I had a MUX with a 30 foot (!), yes, it worked, cable connecting my three Ataris. For years afterwards I had the Mux os in my machines and really got used to being able to turn the video dma (screen disable) off and on with the key combination shift+ctrl+8. I miss that and was looking for a copy of the rom and it is nowhere to be found. Is this out there somewhere I missed or is it still a closely held thing? If it is still proprietary, is there a rom that has this function that isn't? Best, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is sold out now but is a possible source for the custom OS ROM. Edited August 15, 2019 by BillC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm doubtful you'll get a timely reply from him at this time due to health issues... I haven't had a reply from him from emails over the past few years, and his site is only still up by donations from others at this time..

Alfred Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I don’t think that’s a function of the mux code, sounds more like Bob’s UltraSpeed OS or something. I have the source for both the host program and the slave patch, and as best I recall the slave patch just implements the sio intercept and the M: device.

Best, Jeff Can you please retype this paragraph using words that people that have no idea what you just said can understand? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hello guys I found the UltraSpeedPlus OS 1.5 manual by accident yesterday, so I just checked: Shift-Control-8 turns off the screen. But Bob might have used features from one product (for example the UltraSpeedPlus OS) in other products (like the MUX OS).
