Shawn Jefferson Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Way back in the day when the MyIDE was first created, I remember an internal version of it that could plug into (or rather you had to solder it to) the BASIC ROM chip instead of the system ROM socket. That might be a way around it maybe. I suppose that you could also use the cartridge version of the MyIDE hardware with an internal SDX ROM, provided the driver can differentiate between internal and external MyIDE. I don't have an internal SDX myself, and use the Atarimax Flashcart version of SDX, so I'm ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an internal SDX myself, and use the Atarimax Flashcart version of SDX, so I'm ok. Someone was kind enough to donate me a cart version of MyIDE some months ago but since it was supplied with the ROM for the internal version I haven't done much with it. The external version might actually be more useful for my setup if I could work out some SDX drivers. I'll be looking into this in great detail when I get time.

+therealbountybob Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I might be interested in one of these as my last two 1050s are slowly adeteriorating and I have a couple of spare 2.5" HDDs Q1 How would I transfer files from PC to each of these storage devices (I have SIO2USB/APE) Q2 Can I easily boot basic /a turbo basic image and work as normal from my XE Q3 For games like Ultima III that support two drives, would this system allow this to work Q4 Would it work on an A800 (48K) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 A1 Simplest and the fastest way is to use SD card for PC<->Atari transfers, as software on Atari side will read FAT32 formatted SD card as its own A2 its PBI device, so it is possible to use it with Basic A3 would not know, but i guess it would allow this as there will be support for ATR images as well as standard partitions A4 it would not - again, this is PBI device, so no PBI slot (XE or XL style - doesn't matter) - no fun hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks candle One more stupid question: To get files to the HDD you would copy them from the SD card using the atari [edit] I would also be interested in the solderless RAM upgrade for XL/XE (now that there are a few games that use more than 128K).

Defender II Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Any idea on cost? Is there enough room inside the case for and actual 2.5 inch mechanical hard disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Any idea on cost? Is there enough room inside the case for and actual 2.5 inch mechanical hard disk? Candle as far as I know does not have a set price in mind, but is looking to make it comparable or less than the SDrive NUXX... And yes there is room for a 2.5 laptop drive in the case.

I guess you want to take a break from programming and play with hardware then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
