Is someone selling them in the US?

I don’t see them on his site

This really made me laugh for some reason.

Air Force Tech School, I was in the 3382nd squadron in the "Triangle" at Biloxi Air Force Base for training as an Avionics Inertial and RADAR repair specialist. Our squadron apparently, didn't have the best reputation. I didn't help that reputation much. I was a Student Leader, but probably wasn't the best fit for it. Every morning, there was a uniform of the day. There was a board in the squadron that told us what to wear. One morning, the uniform of the day called for us to carry our all-weather jackets. We got down to the end to (I believe) the 96th squadron. That squadron was known for its discipline. We were waiting for things to clear to march to class and the 96th Sergeant comes up and instructs me to have the flight put on their all-weather jackets. I said, "But sir. the uniform of the day board says to carry it." He said, "And I'm telling you to put them on." So, of course, I respond, "If you can change the uniform of the day like that, wouldn't it be easier if we called you each morning and asked what to wear?" He took my 341 form and a few days later, my Sergeant came up laughing and told me not to do something like that again. So, yeah, that's what that hat was.

My original Atari setup from either January 1982 or January 1983 Okimate 10 Christmas Tree Pictures from December 1984. Astute readers will see the gumball machine box for the gumball machine in the pictures I posted earlier in this thread. BASIC XE from Christmas 1986

Perhaps try one of the disks I did not list since those are already preserved and it can be compared to the preserved copy?

Yes. We do not want to send these internationally. It is my understanding that the preference is to kryoflux them. Perhaps someone in UK with a kryoflux could dump them for you?

One request. Please do not try to read any of these in an Atari (or any other kind of) drive. Sometimes, we may only get one chance to read an old disk before it starts to deteriorate. I looked these up in the A8Pres database. Depending on some of the dates and versions, the ones I listed below look like they would be worth attempting to dump. I have a Kryoflux and live in the United States. If you live in the US and want to send these to me to preserve, I will attempt to dump them and then send the originals back to you.

I created an Automater and made it a shell script and when I try to drag a .xex file to it, it won't take it. If I make the xex open with it, it says there was no argument. What type of action did you use for your script? Thanks.

Well, yeah. I'm comparing it to the SIO2PC devices we have now. The Model III was seen by the Atari as a Disk drive. Sure, it wrote to files on the Model III floppy drive, but that is because that was the storage the Model III had. An SIO2PC could read and write from a floppy drive attached to a modern Windows PC and would be doing the same thing. I'm just impressed they even thought to try it and wondered if they ever actually sold any of them.

I was looking at PDF's of Antic (As one does) and came across this ad for Micro Mainframe. The device itself isn't too overwhelmingly interesting, but the part at the bottom where you can use a TRS-80 Model III as an Atari Disk Drive emulator? Did that ever actually ship? Has anyone seen one? I mean, I especially like the part where they say you can use your Model III as an Atari Floppy for only $90. (You know, plus the cost of the Model III...)

I bought a Rana and then an Indus specifically because they were cheaper than the Atari offerings.

That was me. I had graphic printouts all over my room. (Including color ones from my Okimate 10 color printer, that thing was great back then...) I printed everything I could find and even made some myself (although they were more text-based and not "artistic"). -Todd

Along similar lines, now that Side 3 is in preorder, can someone speak to what Side 3 can do that AVG cannot and what AVG can do that Side 3 cannot? Thank you.

Thank you for not being polemic.

My first exposure to programming was BASIC programming on the Atari 2600. Through an unusual set of circumstances, I ended up with keyboard controllers for my 2600. So, I went looking for something to use them with and found BASIC. As simple as the experience was, I was hooked. I got an Atari 800 in January, 1982 and I wrote a slot machine and a game called Money Hungry (which I reproduced from scratch a few years ago after having lost all my original disks due to downsizing offer the years). I also wrote a program to create paper inserts for Audio Cassettes that listed the cassette name on the spine and the contents on the side. That fall, our school got a PC lab with Apple ][e's. They offered computer classes. I talked to the teacher and told him what I had been doing on the Atari and he suggested I skip the first class and go into the advanced class. In school, we wrote a program in Pascal to play Kalah. The game had to be one-player against the computer. You could make the computer as simple as just randomly picking moves or as smart as you wanted. The game let you choose whether the person or the computer went first and we had a tournament playing 2 computers next to each other with a competing program running on each one. Best of three coin toss to see who goes first. My program came in second, likely because I lost the coin toss. When I got my ST, I didn't program too much on it, but did do some things in BASIC. I spent a lot of time programming Hypercard Stacks on Macintosh, including a DM and Player stack for AD&D. (When the DM would attack, it would say ouch for every point of damage it did to the player.) I programmed in a language called CASL (Cannot believe the site is still (somewhat) active) for Palm Pilots and released several games for it including Comp IV and Merlin clones. I also wrote an app called Apprentice for D&D and Decker for Shadowrun. I have a few score card apps (Miniature Golf, Mexican Train Dominoes, a card game called 13) in the iOS App Store that I wrote in Corona. In my professional life, I started out of college programming IBM 370 Mainframe Assembler for a bank that I still work at today. I don't do as much coding now as most of our software is purchased, but I get to do a little here and there.

The picture above, Lotharek has pin headers in the screw connectors. You can just barely see wires attached to the other end of the pin headers. Then those wires go to the SIO connector that is shown in the previous picture I posted. And that SIO connector plugs into your Atari.

This picture you can see the header. Click it to enlarge it.

I'm sure the header is on the board. The cable is not included. So you will need to buy one, make one yourself, or cut up an existing cable.

looks like it uses this. (Attach the wires to a header with screws to lock them in place.) https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=128

That's politics?

I was REALLY tempted. I'm not surprised it went as fast as it did. The shipping was pretty high and that is what caused me to not pull the trigger. But I was especially interested in what this cartridge is. I did some Google searches but could not find anything. Anyone know what this is?
