Clint Thompson Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Just curious if anyone here has this program running on their 800XL? I remember not being able to get it to work on my XL when I had it in the late 90's. Does it require a translator disk? IF it does work on the XL (which I'm hoping) would someone be kind enough to make me a copy permitting I sent a blank disk and SASE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hello Clint I can't help you with Software Automated Mouth, but if you are interested in that kind of software, you might also be interested in ReadIt! by Tom Hunt. It reads textfiles out loud. I'm not sure, but I might only run with SpartaDOS. Either because of ReadIt! itself or because of the software Tom uses to pack his stuff (IIRC it was called Armorizer).

mimo Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It's not an easy pro gramme to run. http://retrobits.net/atari/sam.shtml instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauntman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I know that S.A.M. worked on the Atari 800 and the 130XE. I wrote a program ages ago for entering long ML programs that would echo back the number you typed in using the keypad, and I am sure I used it on both machines.

Warriorisabouttodie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I used S.A.M. with my 400 and 130xe back in the day. It didn't require the translator disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely works on a stock 130XE with no translator disk. Stephen Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornpipe2 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry to dredge this up, but: Does S.A.M. work on any emulators? Atari800Win 4.0 and 4.1 are both crashing when I try to boot the disk image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari800Win 4.0 and 4.1 are both crashing when I try to boot the disk image. Does work in atari++. I see no reason why it shouldn't, actually.

Hornpipe2 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Never mind, I got it working. Must have gotten a corrupt ZIP the first time around or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
