oo7 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So I feel like playing with Atari basic a bit. I want to do this in altirra. I assume I could simply mount a folder and just dsave and dload .bas files into that correct? Also what version of dos would most use for this? Just dos 2.5? Been a while since I did anything on this planform. Sure I can figure it out, just looking at suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathchild Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 No DOS, I just use Altirra's H: drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo7 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Hmm will try the H: drive today. Didnt think I could do that without DOS, kind of fresh, well coming back lol. Till now I was using a DOS 2.5 and writing back to it. Thanks for the tips. I have not touched Atari basic in FOREVER. Until yesterday. To sharpen myself I pulled out a few old books Im going over and slowly testing stuff out. Dont even have plans to do anything specific just want to get back up to speed on it for fun.
