Brockmd Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I just purchased an Atari 130 XE. found this on the computer. Can anyone help with what they are and do? thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 It looks like a home made ROM switcher with 4 different OS's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 80C I imagine is 80-column. Likely the other ones are Boss XE and Omnimon. Ref Boss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Since one is likely "onmimon" the "80C" is likely Omniview. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info on these mods? xl boss is confirmed. I will try to load the website at home. My phone can’t handle it and work computer gives me the “bad boy” for trying to access. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Well, there's two ways to confirm: 1. Extract the EPROMs and read out the contents using an EPROM programmer. Compare the resulting dump to known OS's, CRC32 checksum etc. 2. Run an OS dumping utility from the Atari under each OS, save the data to a file. There is such a tool inlcuded with RealDOS, as well as one included with WUDSN ROM checker: http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/productions-atari800/tools/atariromchecker Either way then use some method such as SIO2PC-USB or an SD card card solution to get the resulting files to a PC for analysis / upload (ie to here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tane Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Confirmed analogue step in the middle, but what's the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 confirmation, comparison, verification, and the search for variants. It's fun for the curious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brockmd Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Looks like that’s what they are. Omniview shrunk the screen. I don’t have the proper cables for that. Not sure in today’s world, if it would work out on current tv’s. Thanks for the help and documentation for everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockmd Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just curious, I cannot access the cyberroach website. Is it no longer functioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it is "a now-defunct web site" according to an upload to Archive.org by @Savetz last year: https://archive.org/details/cyberroach-digital-analog-archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
