+Guitarman Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Can someone point me to or does there exist a full fledged test program to test all aspects of the Atari 8bit, including joystick ports, video, audio, mem, cpu, etc, etc....??? I'd like to have something to quickly and thoroughly test all these systems I got. It would have to be able to test both 4 port (400,800) and 2 port (XL,XE). Thanks!!!

Do you have the super-salt cartridge and "test box" ? It was made by atari for production testing, as well as service testing. Looks like an 850 interface with a bunch of cables hanging out of it (one for each port on the atari) and it comes with a cartridge that runs a pretty good "gauntlet" of tests.. You may be able to still get it from B&C.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no wires hanging out of it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
