Mclaneinc Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks for the tips fella's, never too old to learn something new... Hoping my aliexpress ordered hot air gun has a display that actually displays the real temp and isn't just for show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Carter Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Well, I managed to resurrect my 65XE so at least I have one working A8... Currently armed with a full set of Atari User Mags and over half the Page 6 mags, my next question is this: Using Altirra, I can type in the listings, got that sorted, is there a way to xfer them to the physical XE? I'm guessing one of the SD based solutions would suffice. I would try to source a 1050, but they're like rocking horse s**t in this country... Apologies for the noobishness, I'm about 35 years behind you guys. Attached my XE, not in too bad nick for its age, apart from the name plate I'm literally waiting on "Electronics for Dummies" to arrive so I can start on the XL, fully intend for it to be a new hobby for me Regards Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Yes, an SD-Max would be great for this and its a very reliable easy way to load images etc...No real setting up and MrRobot has a wonderful help page on them so would sort out any questions but ask away on here as well. its as simple as making a DOS disk in Altirra, saving the listing via DOS as a .bas file and then just copy the saved Atr on to the SD-Max and boot it with Basic and then type Run"D:yourlisting.bas.

Personally I prefer an sio2pc-usb like lotharek's for quick data transfer between PC and Atari - saves memory card swapping back and forth. A standalone SD card device is nice for standalone operation, for data not immediately needed on the PC side. With that said, a 1050 would definitely fulfill the "real hardware" experience, and can still be used in conjunction with either aforementioned device. Which country are you in? I could look into how much one would cost to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
