Speaking of the break key (sort of), I can't seem to figure out how to type it. It doesn't appear on the list of Atari keys, unless I'm completely blind. Anyone know how to type the break key?

Thanks, Heaven. It was a lot of fun to write.

What the? I'm also using Win98SE. Have we got the same version of Atari800Win Plus v2.8? Very odd, indeed. Thanks for pointing out the v2.8 disclaimer there. I suppose I should have R'ed the FM.

I should have mentioned that I'm using Atari800Win Plus v2.8, which supports eight drives and four hard drives. I had already tried the cold restart after "putting" a disk in drive 3 (and having disks in drives 1 and 2). D3-D8 simply aren't seen. I don't know why. Perhaps a bug in this version of the emulator? As for the hard drive, I've also already tried cold restarts, typing H:, H1:, H:*.*, H1:*.*, and typing the names of specific files I know to be there, but it returns nothing (though, as I mentioned, the files will still load). Interestingly enough, if I point the hard drive to a directory containing a bunch of ATR files, they show up fine when I do a dir of the hard drive; it only seems to return nothing when I try to list a "hard drive" containing files I wrote using the emulator itself.

Thanks for the tips. However, I'm experiencing some rather strange behaviour from Atari800Win Plus... I managed to get the hard drives working... sort of. I can read and write files, but when I try to get a file listing of its contents, I get no files (even though files are there and I can load them). Very odd. Also, When I set up an ATR image in any of drives D3 to D7 (and D8 if I'm not using DOS 2.5), All DOSes fail to read the drive, returning error 160. Drives D1 and D2 work fine. These problems appear to happen no matter which DOS I'm using, nor does it seem to matter which OS I'm running. Any suggestions as to what my problem might be would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm using Atari800Win Plus and I'm wondering if there is a special DOS out there that can see the Folder I've mapped as a hard drive (i.e., H1: ). Can anyone name a DOS that works with this? [ 01-19-2002: Message edited by: Krokus ]

The other two games have no sound and only use the keyboard. The solitaire game keys are kind of irritating - I just used the same keys as in the original Basic version I wrote long ago. Should've known better by the time I rewrote it in assembly. I still play the yahtzee game every once in a while, sometimes between periods when I'm watching a hockey game on TV. If you try them out, let me know how you liked (or disliked) them.

Hello again Debro. quote Thanks

Hello, fellow Atarians. I'm new on this board (I only just learned of its existence - doh!). My 15 minutes of Atari fame was Envision for the Atari XL/XE systems, even though I wrote it over a two year period.
