I don't know much about it, unfortunately. Is there any sort of switch on the outside of the computer? Sometimes modified OSes would be installed with the ability to switch back to the default Atari OS as well.

Your 800xl has a modified Operating System installed, which (a) doesn't have the self-test mode and (b) has the OPTION key on startup reversed.

SpartaDis X includes a 64 column screen driver.

...an XEGM without keyboard or screen as a headless server...

Does CONFIG need to be split into NETCONFIG and DRVCFIG? One to select and connect to a spcific WiFi network; the second to set the drive mappings?

... so you're saying I have a project to port this to regular BASIC (and maybe finding an existing ML routine to move memory so things don't slow to a crawl when doing screen refreshes)...

A few observations / questions: Other than a few DPEEK commands, and the MOVE command, I don't think it's using any Turbo BASIC commands; this could probably be translated to regular BASIC fairly easily. Line 9000 appears to have an error - it refers to line 8396, which does not exist in the listing. (On further examination, I'm wondering if line 9000 is used at all?) Line 8400 TRAPs line 40000, which doesn't exist.

Thanks. I'm thinking about a chat type situation, where one person can load and send the game they agree to play to the other, as a purely peer to peer type thing so no need for a TNFS server - there are so many possibilities with FujiNet!

That actually makes perfect sense. If the second computer specified LOAD"N:TCP//SOURCE.ATARI.ADDRESS:PORT" would that work, since you're not in listening mode?

Looking over this... In theory, with two computers both with the N: driver installed, could you SAVE"N:TCP://OTHER.ATARI.ADDRESS:PORT/" while on the other computer LOAD"N:TCP://:PORT" to have the same file on both computers at the same time?

You could build a DL in main memory and store the graphics in the high 4K and flip the banks without worrying about the DL. Mind you, you're getting outside the realm of BASIC for that.

Looking at Best's catalog online, they're sold out of 1030 case sets; there are 850 sets ($29.95) available. The paper version of the catalog lists XEP-80 case sets for $12.00 (page 101, item CB102389) as well as SX-212 case sets for the same price (page 141, item CB102277).

Both are running SDX and the SIO.SYS driver, I have tried setting the FN drives to "NORMAL" speed. Planning to dig deeper into SDX in the next few days, I will share everything I discover.

No other SIO devices attached.

Same issue here, trying a variety of SDX versions on my SIDE, SIDE 2 and MyIDE+Flash. Changing to HSIO of 9 I still get error 138. I have no conflicting device IDs (checked that first). Right now my workaround is to boot MyDOS, copy files or disks to my MIO RAMdisk, power down and insert SDX, then copy from the MIO.

Given how common the XM301 is, wouldn't that be a better case/device to sacrifice?

What I found odd was that I made zero change to anything; just clicked "close", then double-clicked the flasher again, and all was well. No run as Admin needed; and the same cycle repeated with the second unit. If it was Windows Defender I'd have thought that the first run would have set things (unless the fact that it appears as a different COM port has something to do with it). Next update I will check and see what happens, and grab screen caps / dumps if things go oddly again.. (And I used an old, reliable BlackBerry USB cable, so no issues there ;))

Exactly what I'd like, but the price point is a bit high - though someone is selling reconditioned units on eBay for $20... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Startech-DVI-to-HDMI-Video-Convertor-With-Audio-DVI2HDMIA/224053588270?hash=item342aa2712e:g:kWUAAOSwMNhe8CZc

Yes, but if I'm converting DVI to HDMI for a TV input anyways, I'd rather have a single plug at the far end...

Just updated both my FujiNets using the Win10 x64 flasher. In both instances, the first time I tried to run the update, I was told I did not have permission to do so. Closed the flasher, launched it again, and everything went just fine. Is this a known issue, or next time there's an update (should it recur) should I share some screencaps?

My only wish now is a simple DVI to HDMI adaptor that lets me patch in the audio from either the monitor port (mono) or RCA (if I ever make this machine stereo), so it's a single cable to whatever big screen TV I want to work/play on.

Installed in a 800xl. All I can say is wow! On the DVI connection it's incredible!

Nice! Is this a FlickerTerm type (two GR 0 screens of 1K each flipping on an interrupt), or a single graphics 8 screen (8K)?

Somewhere I have a home made BASIC OS ROM checksum calculator... I will try to find the disk. As I recall, it's just a 2-byte value. Mapping the Atari says that the XL/XE calculation routine is at $FF73 (see https://www.atariarchives.org/mapping/appendix12.php)

Mine arrived this morning. Can't wait to do the installations!
