awace Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Dang I just saw they were sold out I could still make one using a aurdiono let me know how i could make my own I have an arduino but would have to get the one w the sd slot then get youre file for $ of course for labor to copy it and then info on how to use it w lcd I can get these parts online I just need the file witch you painstakingly wrote LET ME KNOW IF you are interested in helping me make my own.. I understand the auduino can send serial out but dont know programming I get brain block .. MY dad can program I can solder and fix things but am crappy at programming at base level I can copy paste real good and can understand a file.. my dad could walk me threw using youre program to make my own as all i have to do is scroll threw about 10 .atr files and send to serial port when atari is asking for file on dos II already loaded i push a then get the dir on d1: then before hitting return I tell aurdiono to send ascii to serial .atr file then hit enter it should find it.. this is exactly how those multi carts work exept those are high low on off +5v or gnd voltage controled a10 line outputs!! of a .bin file.. i guess you could just get a atari cart hooked up and unhook the a10 line and feed it a nother a10 line this is what the flashback does when you select cart..

santosp Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Hi. All the information you need, located on original inventor's site. Jakub Kruszona-Zawadzki You can mail him as to respond in all of your questions. http://sio2sd.gucio.pl/wiki/English Also if you want to buy an alternate version of this device, please look at Lotharek's (viva la karafla ) site. http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=23 Edited December 21, 2012 by santosp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk40001 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Got mine today. For some reason I did not get a note from post women and did not know that the parcel is waiting for me at the post office for couple of days already. Panos pmed me and asked to check on it as the tracking indicated that the porcel could not be delivered – thank you Panos! What a device! What a service!

goldenegg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I just received mine today and I'm scratching my head, wondering if I'm doing something wrong :-) I've followed the instructions to copy sio2sd.xex on my SD card and make the following config changes: cfgtool mode - every startup topdrive mode - off I reboot the system and I still only get a 'READY' prompt, where I expect to see an on-screen loader. I then tried mounting ATR files manually, using the LED display. After selecting a disk for disk 1, I reboot the system and still only get the 'READY' prompt. I've tried a few SD cards, all formatted FAT16 with the Panasonic SD Formatter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Incase it matters, I'm using a 800XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 santosp has been trying to help me with my problem, but neither of us have found a solution yet. My recent attempts have been to bypass the SD and use AspeQt. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The upside is that I now have some log information, although I don't know how useful it is. Serial port speed set to 19200. Emulation started through standard serial port backend on 'COM3' with RI handshaking. [Disk 1] Get status. [x10] [Device $4f] command: $40, aux: $4f4f ignored. [x28] [Device $4f] command: $40, aux: $0000 ignored. [x28] Anyone have any ideas to try, before I have to send the device back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Anyone have any ideas to try, before I have to send the device back? Have you tried to hold the option key to disable Basic.... Attach your trouble ATR here to thread. Try typeing 'DOS' at the ready prompt. -- or BYE.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Have you tried to hold the option key to disable Basic.... Attach your trouble ATR here to thread. Try typeing 'DOS' at the ready prompt. -- or BYE.. Holding OPTION or typing 'DOS' will bring up the diagnostic menu. I haven't tried typing BYE yet, but can give that a try tomorrow. It isn't just one ATR that's having trouble, it's every one I try. I've confirmed the images are fine, so that's not the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Do any other sio devices work with your 800xl? Do you have a 1010 or 1050 to try with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm completely new to the Atari computer scene and only have the 800XL at this point If anyone here is from Toronto and willing to try this on their 800XL or lend me a sio device, I'd definitely appreciate it.

To me it sounds like like you have some sort of problem with the SIO connection. I am in Toronto (East Scarborough to be exact) and I can try the device for you, or even try to see what is wrong with your 800XL or SIO connection. I can not promise a fix though. If you're interested PM me and I'll give you my phone number so we can talk. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Its old but I dusted off this device. Anyone got this working on APE or ASPEQT ? Its detected by my pc and driver installed as COM3 but cannot boot any images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Update: Finaly got ASPEQT to work at siospeed 3x or Pokey divider 8 any lower value (higher speed) will not work My SIO2SD/PC Combo has version 3.1 is there newer software for this device or is the speed limited to this 3x warp ? APE doesn't work at all a few sectors booting but that's all tryed all options didn't get it to work. Now I need the steps to prepare the SD but the link in this topic isn't working anymore Edited October 27, 2014 by TXG/MNX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Hmm, maybe Philip make some innovations on his site, and the URL change. Please look on the above link. On the middle of his web page you will find the English translation. http://www.santellocco.com/atari/consigli-sio2sd.htm Is known from the beginning of this thread, cause isn't "APE" compatible. The reason is cause AtariMax use proprietary code masked on its sio2pc device. I believe cause somehow have entangle how working the 2 modes of this device. One part is the SIO2SD, and an other the SIO2PC. The data speed who mention above, is for the sio2pc device, and I believe is great if this work without errors for you. The last known firmware from the designer of this project is still the 3.1RC2. http://sio2sd.gucio.pl/wiki/SoftwareAVR_en Edited October 27, 2014 by santosp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) My device shows 3.1 so do I have RC1 or RC2 ? I guess RC2 like in the first thread mentioned missed that was reading on mobile phone. Edited October 27, 2014 by TXG/MNX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 RC1, but the latest one not improve something on speed. I propose first to setup your device and go familiar with it, and after I will send you instructions how to upgrade it if you still want it.
