vitoco Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I've never tried a Maxflash cartridge, and I guess it includes a built in menu/loader for a bunch of XEX stored in it. That is great to play games from their file version instead of ROM images. Reading about the problem that kynrek had with Mac/65 XEX, he made me ask if it is possible to load a cartridge from the Maxflash and boot DOS at the same time, as DOS is required by many cartridges like Assembler/Editor, Pilot, etc... Is that feasible? How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) For many years the only options for Atarimax flash cartridges were to put a cartridge image (or more than one) on one and then boot DOS from disk in the normal way, that is from SIO or PBI *or* put a DOS ATR (or ATRs) on a flash cartridge. Later, the SpartaDOS X team compiled that DOS to work on the Atarimax flash cartridges Four years ago user, cartridge_fan, modified 3 OSS cartridge images (BASIC XL, Action!, MAC/65) and together with SpartaDOS X 4.46 put them onto a single Atarimax 8mbit flash cartridge. You can select one programming language and enable SDX or you can enable SDX without a language. You can also load a language and boot a different DOS but from disk. -SteveS Edited May 18, 2017 by a8isa1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
