spacedmonkeys Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I have been busy archiving my old disks (I will post them all up here for perusal once I am complete) - but I have a few of these disks which don't seem to boot up in Altirra - they seem to copy from the 1050 drive ok, and my teenage writing on the disks does not indicate that they ever failed to work or didn't boot. They start up to Spartados with a D1: prompt, but that's as far as they get. DIR does not work, RUN or LOAD filename doesn't work either, just get an error 130. If I use the disk tool in Altirra I can see the files on there. Is there anyone with any Spartados knowledge that could take a look and see if the disk is faulty or how to make it boot? I'll just post one for now but I have a few like this. B04_Side_B_menu.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopeyman06 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I just tried it on my Mac with Atari800MacX (v6.0.1) and it auto-booted to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should autoboot or type MASTER.4 at the D1: prompt in SpartaDOS to run the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or set U1M to stock and boot the disk via the loader. btw. have you set D1: to US Doubler or Happy, the disk is DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacedmonkeys Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Hmm thanks, maybe I have an old version of Altirra that is handling these disks differently. I’ll check and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacedmonkeys Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Well, I updated to the lates Altirra. I wasn't too far behind I was on 4.10. 4.21 the latest. However, still couldn't get this to boot. I've tried D1 as a 1050 Happy and 1050 US Doubler, same issue. Fiddled around and switched off the SIO/PBI acceleration and then it boots! Finally.
