+mytek Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 23 hours ago, Panther said: Are there any other changes to the TK version, or is it just the navigation? Also, what key codes map to PgUp/PgDown and F5/F8 (or are these hardware controlled from the TKII)? This breaks down what each key sends if you peek memory location 764. These codes are without Control or Shift being pressed on the PS/2 keyboard. But Control and Shift are being automatically used by the TK-II to produce these key codes. 1200 XL navigation in play Page-Up = SHIFT+F1 Page-Down = SHIFT+F2 Home = SHIFT+F3 END = SHIFT+F4 And the arrow keys are the equivalent to the Control+Arrows of the Atari. Insert and Delete pretty much mimic the keys of the same name on the Atari, and will respond the same when used with Control or Shift combinations. SHIFT+Home will clear the screen. -------------------- The SDRIVE control file is an ATR which needs to be named sdrive.atr and placed in the root of the SD card. It contains the various *.com files. I forget what DOS is being used, and I'm away from my shop without access to any Atari computers or my SDrives at the moment. Thanks for working on this, and hopefully we'll get it all sorted out soon. Be nice to have a more universal solution than what I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what the 1200XL navigation listed is for, do you mean if you press Shift-F1 on the 1200XL it's supposed to send a PageUp? I figure your project deserves this.

I just put this together a few minutes ago, and this should hopefully answer your question. EDIT: And yes a 1200XL's shifted function keys will mimic those same PS/2 navigation keys. So if you get it working on a 1200XL, then it'll work on a PS/2 keyboard connected to the Atari via a TK-II as well. I'll re-post the equivalency between the two...

+mytek Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 5 hours ago, Panther said: All keys should work with this one, regardless of the platform. SDRIVE.ATR 130.02 kB · 1 download Yep that one works for me in all regards except for one thing. I can't get it to update the config file, even though it says it did. So for instance if I cycle the SIO speed from 6 to 2 by pressing U, and then I do a Control W, followed by pressing U and then Y after which it says "Cfg written", but when rebooting I'm back to the default SIO speed of 6. So just to be sure that there wasn't something wrong on my system or that I wasn't doing it right, I replaced sdrive.atr on the SD card with what I had been using before, and then did the same thing. It worked! Next I used MakeATR to extract the sdrive.cfg file from that working version, and then inserted that in place of the one on your file. Then I copied that over to my SD card and rebooted. It once again defaulted to SIO speed 6. Then just for grins I tried changing the speed and went to write it to the SD card and it stalled for quite a while and finally reported an Error #$90 (whatever that means). So strange Can you test the config write on your side to see if you are getting the same behavior? P.S. Thanks for what you've done thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I'm out of town for the weekend (just flew up to Northern California earlier this afternoon), but can figure this out when I return. This is very strange, I didn't touch anything related to config saves as far as I know. I'm sure I can figure it out though. You are most welcome.

I live in Santa Rosa about an hour away from San Francisco. Oh and take your time with delving into the config issue. And I too thought it strange that this was in any way connected with what you had modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long day! I plan to head home tomorrow, whenever I feel rested enough. Sounds like you had a great day. There used to be a Boy Scout camp over in the Navarro area. I was never a scout, but I did help some many years ago to get the camp ready for the summer. We did some brush clearing and cut-down quite a few widow maker trees. That was back when I was young and had a good back - I miss those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I just checked it and am seeing the same issue. I'll have to figure it out later when I'm not so tired from all the running around over the weekend.

Panther Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Sleep is overrated. I just connected my SDrive-MAX, running firmware version 1.2, to USB power and used the touch-screen to try saving settings and they didn't save. I'm not even sure how the config settings are actually stored or retrieved on this. I deleted the SDRIVE.ATR file and the saved settings (that can't be changed) still came up. Formatting the drive did stop them from coming up, but even on a freshly formatted microSD card with the original SDrive-MAX 1.2 SDRIVE.ATR file, I can't save settings either from the device or the SDRIVE program. I haven't used this thing in ages, but I do remember it working previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Okay, I'd forgotten about the SaveIm option when saving the settings. That allows saving settings from the touch screen, but it's still really screwy because then I can get it to boot SDRIVE.ATR at which point it remounts the images as saved within the SDRIVE.ATR file instead of however the unit itself saves settings and then reboots to boot what was originally mounted. Does anyone else have issues with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) You set/save one then set/save the other back to back in order is what I remember having to do, otherwise it isn't really saved. Edited May 13 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Version information conflicts with different config settings saved was causing the problem. This should work. sdrive.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
