I understand what he's saying. Mine was saved as FastSIO $28. Unplugged all night. This morn on power up it's still at FastSIO $28. Brought to you by: [CTRL] W UBL Y.

Ricky Spanish Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 BTW, loading ATARI DOS 2.5 at any speed shows zero errors in the Sdrive Max debugger. Whereas SPARTADOS 3.2x shows multiple SIO loading errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought to you by: [CTRL] W UBL Y. when saving the configuration is only for sdrive-ng, it updates the configuration that is inside the sdrive.atr. on mine when I start sdrive-max in the touch menu it doesn't save any sio speed setting since I don't start sdrive-ng, it always detects it at $06. 2 hours ago, Ricky Spanish said: Whereas SPARTADOS 3.2x shows multiple SIO loading errors. in my case it does not show error when loading in $10 spartados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are seven atmega328 folders, the correct one for me was: atmega328-hx8347i However v1.3 did not resolve the issue with spartados_3.2G.atr having to be booted from D0 with FastSIO $10 39000. Any setting faster than 39000 it will not boot even from D0. Since I've never done this before I am following this guys lead on how to burn/update.Which in this video start at about 14:06. Couple questions. How can I be sure what Aduro or touch screen I have? How about com ports? Are these things autodetected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from the brewing academy so i will either have to find the instructions I've misplaced or ask them. 2. OK. Can do. Ill get to all this at some point. Not a huge priority. Only program I'm having issues with so far is Atari Planetarium. All copies work fine so long as I am careful I'm not in screensaver mode when using info or going to the map screens. Which are the ones that access the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusfalkirk Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I've got the S-Drive Max that I bought from The Brewing Academy, not having any issues with it. Is there any reason why I should update the firmware from 1.2 to 1.3? If there is how would I do that using a Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Found another one that doesn't like the screensaver mode. Seven Cities of Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I am sure you will find a thread that covered the screensaver issues and a number of titles that failed because of it.

+DjayBee Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just disable the screensaver and go ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The update will not matter for this problem. The latest changes are related to cassette file use. Take @_The Doctor__ suggestion. Just turn it off. I think in the same thread, kbr mentioned it was just a small feature that he thought would be nice to have. He did not know it was going to cause these problems. He may find the problem eventually, but I know I do not care about possible burn-in on my Sdrive Max touchscreen. As far as updating, try every option. You can’t brick the device doing that. You’ll be able to tell immediately if it works or not.

_The Doctor__ Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Maybe because they expect you will move on to other things and have a problem there as well. So I'd do the update anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a copy of the instructions for the S-Drive Max from The Brewing Academy I can email you a pdf. I scanned the instructions and turned them into a pdf just in case I managed to lose the paper copy I got with the S-Drive Max.

I tried looking on the brewing academy's site etc. Does the instructions have the component types in it? Right after I receive them ill surely find the originals.
