EDITOR PREFERENCES Write the program in the editor and save it on the disk. Clear Action! or restart the computer. Turn on Action! and go to the monitor. Run the program from the disk, which will install the RESET key handler. Go to the editor. Press RESET. @JAC!, maybe there is a possibility to add editor preferences without extra handler ?

Check my SAVO XE addon for VBXE: https://www.ebay.pl/itm/125814511405 Here, you will find the documentation: http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/projects/SAVO/ You can also order it from me privately through AtariAge. In that case, the cost via PayPal is $24.99 including shipping.

@8-bit and more, First of all, thank you for the great Atari videos on your YouTube channel. Honestly, I keep checking it out all the time, and it was actually one of the two factors (besides Ultimate 1MB, VBXE, Rapidus) that made me return to Atari in 2020. As for the NTSC palette, an official core for VBXE has been released. There's a link above where you can find it. Regarding the Ultimate 1MB itself, you can install various plugins from the FJC website. Some of them offer the option to set the NTSC palette as an alternative for computers with a PAL palette. Of course, since the beginning of September, when you install the core with the NTSC palette, you can recompile the plugin with another alternative palette. Personally, on a PAL machine, I use the Rocky palette. I won't currently have a compiled plugin with a palette change to NTSC. I will use it occasionally, changing the startup core through the NC.COM program - which is perfectly sufficient for me.

With that device, the display appeared as described, but in color. I might have used CVBS instead of S-video. I'm not sure, but the image quality was terrible.

VBXE has official core with NTSC palette

Looks like my drillings 0.4" not 1cm Basically, I don't recommend it. It doesn't give any special effect. It's best on the XE PAL board next to the PAL quartz to replace the choke and capacitor with a 470R resistor. This slightly smooths the signal and dampens it. Next, stick with UltraVideoXE and replace the 470uF capacitor and all 22uF ones. It should be better on s-video.

What do you think about overclocking a bit? Maybe that will also improve the flash speed. https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/overclock-raspberry-pi-pico

This is essentially a continuation of my question regarding the differences between UnoCart and UltimateCart, and the use of the RP2040 microcontroller in A8Pico. Does the RP2040 electrically have enough GPIO outputs to perform the tasks of the UltimateCart? Is it a matter of speed, handling a larger number of signals, a memory size issue, or a software issue?

You know, we live in times (e.g., ChatGPT) where determining whether a file is a text file or not is essentially trivial. In the future, there could be an option that such files are converted both ways. Other binary files might have (e.g., in Unix) an executable flag, which would indicate that they are binary and are not subject to conversion."

it was just proposal.... For now, there are probably more important things to do. However, for instance, in OSX there are systems that consider uppercase letters and treat both lowercase and uppercase the same. This is a design pattern that says a file can have a certain physical name, but many accessors.

@pcrow, Proposal for a Change Release. (1) Look at the directory of LiteDos FS. From the Unix filesystem, we should have some different filename accessors. For example: 1. "LITERD DRV" should be accessed by "LITERD DRV" or "LITERD.DRV" 2. "LITEINITXEX" should be accessed by "LITEINITXEX" or "LITEINIT.XEX" (2) In the future version, when mounting the ATR to the system, there should be an option for unix/crlf/cr/etc... After verifying that a given file is text-based, with conversion enabled, it should recode characters and line endings to the host system, and when copying from the host, convert to the Atari convention. If the above already exists, I apologize for the confusion

That's why I mentioned adding "--dummy" to the current version. It should be very simple for you, and it will make the transition from one library to the other quite easy.

You know.. in Poland, I connected the first school to the Internet in 1993, and probably even earlier, for 2-3 years, I was working on Linux and Coherent/Xenix/Minix/Solaris/HP-UX. So I'm used to the idea that if something doesn't work, I can compile and fix it myself. Back in the day, as you might remember, a Unix Administrator = System Programmer. So, I'm kind of stuck on the old OSX. The interface is fine, my main tools are still iTerm2/tmux/joe/vim/brew, etc... Unfortunately, I'm reaching the point where OSX is becoming a distortion of its former self. Generally, the idea used to be that everything works, and you focus on the work, not on preparing to work. Let me put it this way.. I'm not really convinced about computers on M1/M2/etc... because I feel like it's working on a mobile phone processor dressed up as a computer...

Awesome! :))))))))

Can this topic be interesting for subsequent revisions of the Fujinet project? cc: @tschak909 @mozzwald

So it happened that I work on a Mac Pro 3,1 (8xXeon, 32GB, SSD RAID 0) + Apple Cinema Display 30", which hardware-wise is not terrible, but thanks to Apple's policy, I have the OS X El Capitan operating system in version 10.11.6. On this system, I have the version that I have, and it works. Subsequent ones don't work. I normally use SSHFS together with Fuse. Everything works. I also provided an example, which also works without any problems. When the prices drop a bit, I plan to buy a Mac Pro Xeon W, but for now, it's still several thousand USD/EUR. For now, it might be cheaper for me to rewrite a piece of this software

I bought crystals for PAL and NTSC without any problem. Galtron, who is a manufacturer of boards on Ebay, wrote on our Atari forums that he made them. Duddie - the manufacturer of PokeyMax replied that he ordered the crystal grid directly from the manufacturer and also has no problem making them to order. I replace the 14Mhz crystals with VBXE and that's the best solution Nevertheless, if someone has an availability issue, the ones on Ebay will probably work.

0.70 PLN = 0.16 USD ..... Are you looking for a better price?

But why? I bought a lot of these quartz. They are generally available. You just need to check some online shops....

Ok. During Friday I should have time to debug it.

@pcrow, This example works: https://github.com/MaaSTaaR/SSFS

Still the same... look at this: "?atr1" (not /atr1):

@pcrow, By the way, on this computer, I normally use Macfusion with sshfs, which uses fuse.

It doesn't go too far...
