    I always wanted the Black Box. I do still kick myself for selling my 1090XL though ?

    Make sure you have TopDrive turned off on your sio2sd.

    Does your power supply look like the one circled below? If so, it could be damaging your systems. When it fails it may output destructive voltage levels.
  4. JR>
    Could also be a marginal power supply.

    from: https://atari8bit.net/wp-content/uploads/SDrive_en.pdf Note: While booting the SDRIVE.ATR you can choose between loading the SDRIVE.COM control program (default), SDRIVEN.COM („NoAutoload“ version), SDRIVENH.COM („NoAutoload“ + built-in help), DOS II+ or S/XEGS RAMcart feeder of control program (SDRIVENH.COM) by holding Atari Shift and pressing keys 1 to 5.

    If anybody does buy it ? please dump that Omnimon 8k rom. I've never been able to find it anywhere.
  7. JR>
    Not sure then. I know when I ordered mine, he said there were different versions for different computers, so he needed to know what I was installing it in.

    My SDrive-MAX works fine at DIV 0 in my 600xl with just the caps snipped.
  9. JR>
    Also pretty sure the 1200xl would need to be modded to use the 800xl MMU, or the ribbon cable from the MMU socket to the Antonia would need to be changed.
  10. JR>
    Yeah, It's been a while since I installed one. The chip is not required, but the plug does need to go there.
  11. JR>
    The MMU is not needed with Antonia.
  12. JR>
    2nd the UAV. Very simple way to get good video out f the 600xl.

    What kind of power supply are you using? Have you checked its voltage stability? Fluctuations can cause color shift.
  14. JR>
    Definitely waxes and wanes. I'm willing to bet we bid against each other a lot back in the mid 90's! Do you still have the Tandy Amdek? I'd like to buy it if you're interested in selling. I have a controller board from a partially recased Atari Amdek unit, but the drives had been replaced with 3.5s.

    My ATR connectors are also un-keyed. You might want to check your cables, often the key is just a little plastic tab inserted into the socket. These can usually just be pulled out.
  16. JR>
    I guess it all depends on which device they are relative to.

    FWIW I got no updates whatsoever between NYC customs and "Out for Delivery"
  18. JR>
    I think there may be an inline fuse on one of the wires between the power cord socket and the transformer.
  19. JR>
    The problem is probably limited to something between the wall outlet and transformer then. Most of the "power supply" is built in to the motherboard. There's really only the transformer, switch, power cord and socket that aren't part of the MB.
  20. JR>
    How do you know it's not powering on? Have you tested voltages anywhere or are you just going by the light in the power switch? Hard to be sure from the pic, but check the solder on the diodes next to the power connector block. Looks like there might be cracks. Would love to get a dump of that EPROM if you have the means.

    I was nearsighted all my life. Turns out its a good thing when your eyes start going. I can still see up close almost as well as when I was young. Just have to take off my glasses for that now.
  22. JR>
    Cali, so all the way across the country, plus one day delay once it got here for some unknown reason.
  23. JR>
    Took 8 days from the NY entry to make it to my house. But it's here, Yay!
  24. JR>
    It would be a nice feature for sdrive to emulate some of the high speed modes that do work with a stock OS.

    Mine said out for delivery yesterday. Wife picked up the mail....was a package, but it was for a neighbor. Checked tracking, said ready for pickup at the PO......wtf? Said same this AM so daughter stopped there after class. They couldn't find it. Said driver must have taken it back out for delivery.....hopefully it gets delivered today.....to MY box.....
