jaek_3 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Does a cassette dump of this program exist? Several people seem to have a copy of it but no .cas file is available for download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentarian Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I've recently acquired the cassette with a boxed 1020 and can make a copy of it in a few days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I'm one of the ones with a tape of it, I think I can make an image of it with Turgen if needed. There are plenty of 1020 plotter utilities out there though, in serious software sections and sites. I have several ATR's with 1020 utilities, including print micro-illustrator pictures, Atari joystick sketch pad isn't worth the trouble when you can use decent art programs and print them to the 1020 with a utility. Probably why it's never been imaged. I loaded mine up once, to check it out, and knew I'd never use it again. It's ok to do something with the 1020 other than print 40 columns, until you get better utilities to use.The best way to use the 1020 is for what it's really designed to do, vector plotting. Download Super 3D Plotter II, do some 3D CAD models and print them out to the plotter from any view or angle.

+x=usr(1536) Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm curious about this as I once wrote something in BASIC that sounds remarkably similar to the program being referenced. Can anyone shed more light on it? I made a few copies for people at the time, and am wondering if this might be a survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaek_3 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Please all of you backup the software! I would love some utilities to mess around with but my 810 is acting up so I cant write any disk images! Thats why Im so set on this cassette software, anything is better than Ataris troubleshooting BASIC programs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I also have a copy of this and would be glad to dump it. I have a few cassettes that I would like to share. Just don't know how. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, and I'll load it up just to verify later, Joystick Sketchpad is just a basic form of Micro-illustrator. it may be possible to load Micro-illustrator compatible art files into Sketchpad and use it as a utility to print out to the 1020, but I wouldn't bother using it as a way of drawing art, unless you are 4 years old just scribbling with a joystick. You could draw something with it that looks like it was done with Micro-Illustrator or Atari Artist, it's just a bigger pain in the arse without all the tools you get with full-fledged art programs.

Just don't know how.i mean, Im sure theres more professional means, but couldnt you just get a tape drive and stream the audio directly into a computer?

This is sounding more and more like something that wasn't what I wrote. Similar in concept, but different in execution. Still, I'd be interested to see what you find out.

Gunstar Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Sorry, I forgot all about this, and since Bill's copy has had it's guts spilled, I'll look into getting an image made tonight. I've never made a cassette image before, but it's time to learn on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's a good screwed together case the the tape inside can be replaced, fix whatever equipment ate it however... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then see this article if you want to convert the wav to a small flac file. And more info here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentarian Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I was going dump it, but had to order a fuse/belt for my Sony deck. Got that repaired and can't find the cassette... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more info here. Thanks. Yesterday I was thinking APE/SIO2PC system could make tape images with the 1010 just like with the 1050. I never used the cassette function, and thought I remembered it did more than play .cas images. Anywho, I have to dig either an old portable tape recorder or my JVC rack system's tape component out of storage, and I forgot today,,,tomorrow, if I don't forget again.

jaybird3rd Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If it would be helpful, I converted the contents of the 1020 cassette to a bootable disk image some time ago: 1020.zip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just put that back where you got it MISTER, and forget you ever saw it or said anything. Admin, please erase his post...I just went crawling through storage to get his damned cassette deck and hook it to my PC! j/k I actually haven't done any of that yet, thanks for saving me the trouble!

jaybird3rd Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Happy to help! I'm just glad I was able to find that disk image in my messy archives. I put it together circa 1999, as I recall, which is probably the last time I had one of my tape drives set up for use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
