_The Doctor__ Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'd like to Welcome Curt Vendel to the club, He's one of the greatest resources of Atari hardware knowledge (rumor has it the Atari mainframe is currently downloading into his brain!) You never know what he'll uncover next. Curt is one of the best supporters of fellow Atarians you will ever find. Welcome Curt! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally bought some great pieces of Atari hardware from him. I recommend him. You can see some of his offerings on his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cart used in an enhanced Atari 800? I have one with Incognito (so memory or OS is not an issue) but I have not been able to get the cart to get by where it is looking out to a drive to find a config file.. it locks up everytime. Any help would be awesome. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenames99 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 hi Bikerbob, sorry to be late to the forum. but that sounds kinda weird. I would think that Keith would have put a timeout in for that and just loaded a default config. I will have to look into that. I do have a couple 800 but they are both stock. what enhancements do you have in yours? Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) My 800 is an incognito with Super Colour Card. I have done the phi2 mod to the cartridge slot. I think there is something going wrong as it accesses io on that machine. A drive never sees access no matter what I use for a drive. Without this cart.. it works perfectly with anything I can throw at it. Works on an 800xl with u1mb .. essentially the same machine, as my incognito is set to XL bios 1088mb I could set the 800xl to collen mode and see if it does anything.. but I figure it must be a physical machine thing.

_The Doctor__ Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) what other Atari or othe BITD factory cartridges that do drive access do you have? Edited January 23, 2023 by _The Doctor__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I have a stock 800 I will try it on as well. It works fine in my 1088xel and all my 800xls. As for carts. I have all OSS I have oss4in1 I have spartados cart. Other than that all the carts I have are games. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Ken I was going to test my 800 stock as well, but I thought the new version of the program requires 64k Also is there a disk based version of the program? That way we verify if it's a cart problem or program issue. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James hi Bikerbob, well, it is a cart so I would go on the assumption that it does not need 64k, but I have not tested with less. my bench is quite busy at the moment. I will try soon on a 32k 800 and a 16k 600xl. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
