Super SpartaDOS X cartridges now available.

[COREi64]

Fully endorsed by Dropcheck, I am now producing the Super SpartaDOS X cartridge.  You can find them through the following link.

Here's a photo for the first 10 I've built.  The only hand soldering done on these boards are the battery holder and the cartridge connector.  Everything else is done using a stencil printer and professional quality reflow oven.  Boards are all gold plated.  Cases are available for purchase with the cartridge if you so desire.

I hope you don't mind if I ask what are these and why should someone be interested enough to buy one?

These are DOS cartridges for the most advanced DOS ever developed for the Atari 8-bit line of computers.

 

Click on the link provided in the post and read what is there. There is a ton of useful information.

 

After that, if you still have questions, Google Atari SpartaDOS or Atari SpartaDOS X and you'll find far more information than you'll ever need.

I couldn't have said it better myself.  Thanks!

Super SpartaDOS X??? Is that the version on the cart? Is that a newer version than 4.49?

[COREi64]

Yes, that's the version on cartridge.

The ones I build use the latest v4.49

So why the name of Super SpartaDOS X?   <---- Don't read much into that question. I'm just being curious 🙂

 

Also, "if" SDX were ever to be updated, can this cart be updated as well? Like maybe via flash or something like that?

You'll have to exercise your own google-foo to figure out why they chose the name.  Cool kick-a$$ name though.

 

As for being able to upgrade it sure.  There's a flash chip on the cartridge.  That's the one that I flashed with the latest 4.49.  Should there be an update, it would just be a matter of putting the chip in the programmer and writing the new file to it.  There are lots of programmers available out there that will do the job.

I think they have R-Time8 functionality built in as well, so you don't need as high a tower as with the original.

R-Time8 functionality included?? Then yes, Super SpartaDOS X is the proper name for that cart
