Evidious Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Since my job is closed for the next few weeks and the bars are closed and the restaurants are dine in only I have a lot of free time. I could never find the Manual for the US Doubler it's probably out there but I can't find it. So I typed in all the files from the .DOC on the disk. If any one wants to add,correct,proof read, amend, and update it and make a PDF and post it please do. I used notepad++ to type it in US Doubler Manual.txt 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Wait.. this is talking about superdos, XF551s, and a US Duplicator v5. ICD US Doubler is an upgrade for the 1050 drive to give it double density and ultra speed. 1050 Duplicator (from Duplicating Technologies/Gardner(?)) is another upgrade for copying disks that provides ultra speed and track buffering (incredible buffering). Documents for both are floating around. here is a link to the Duplicator files: http://www.realdos.net/1050 Duplicator.html and http://www.oldcrows.net/~patchell/atari/duplicator.html I think I posted different versions of the manual up on archive.org.. If not I can scan them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appendix F of this manual covers installation of the US Doubler hardware, and Appendix G covers the interface. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 There is a separate installation manual (scanned some time ago). USD 1050 Installation The SpartaDOS v1.1 manual mentions the USD, but not much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I saw you mentioned that already. I was just posting that as info for others who might not be aware that the installation manual itself has been scanned too.

Evidious Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Any information information would be great Karl. The only Information is what I typed in from The .doc files on my US Doubler Disk -Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The disk you have confuses me when you say "US Doubler Disk". The text file you are referencing is part of SuperDos: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SuperDOS which is not part of the US Doubler package. Most information you would want for the USD is in the ICD SpartaDos documents, and various places here in AA. As you know, the US Doubler is just a device that gives the 1050 double density and high speed SIO, it consist of a ROM and RAM chip stack. Almost every, perhaps every 3rd party, double density DOS supports it in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbstein Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Please do. The whole idea of scanning them is to make them available to the Atari Community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 10 hours ago, jcbstein said: Yes, I Scanned them myself. Thanks! The content is virtually the same as that which is included in the SparaDOS Construction Set appendix, but it's nice to see a nice color scan of the US Doubler specific booklet with colour cover. The "original" us doublers sold by B&C computervision today include an original epoxy ICD branded RAM module, but with an EPROM and only a b&w photocopy of the installation guide.
