New to U1MB/Side2 Osb

[Aking]

HI

 

Just got and installed the great combo on my XEGS !

 

just one question:

 

can i flash osb instead of diagnostics?

was not able to

maybe because its 10k and not 16 as expected...

 

used ultimate rom generator, last version

 

if it can be done , can anyone here post an Atr

with up to date pbi,spartados and last v2 rom for "L" support on side loader

but with osb instead of diagnostics?

you need to padd it to full 16k, just add 6kbytes of anything in front of OSB and you're good to go

This can also be accomplished by using "The ROM Generator" http://www.fiftyonefiftysystems.com/Atari/TheRomGenerator/Dwnld.html

 

1. Load your 512k U1MB.ROM first, then load the 10k 800 OS in the Diagnostic Slot.

2. When prompted to OPEN the OS ROM, then:

2a. Click once on your 800.rom file.

2b. Select "Object File (*.obj)" in the "Files of type:" Selector/Drop-Down List.

3. Now Click the [Open] Button.

4. The Custom Fill Dialog will be shown.

5. Enter 6144 in the Code Starting Position textbox.

6. Click OK...

 

The 10k 800 OS will now be copied to the proper position
