My focus is on gaming and basic home office. That stuff is EXTREME in it pushing of limits and specialization of purpose. I DO use a 1MB MIO with a SCSI2SD housed inside of a Supra Atari Hard Disk enclosure. I absolutely love it.

I'd say two XE's side by side and build from there If I DO dedicate an additional workstation to the Atari 8-Bit, it will be an 800XL with a pair of 1050's and a 256K MIO. But my history wall has dedicated workstations for each of the Atari 8-Bit, Amiga 16/32-Bit, DOS/Windows 3.1 VGA/VESA, Windows 9X 3DFX VooDoo, and Windows XP DirectX eras. It's a pretty full house in here and my itch for category patterns is well-served by it. Edited Sunday at 02:06 AM by pixelmischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted Sunday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:49 PM Strangeness, it's mucked up the quotes. All kinds of mark up on the first quote and totally wrong person indicated on the second. Tillek, was there a Vulcan mind meld performed by a Romulan?

The incorrect quote attribution is just my own bad forum citizenship, vis-a-vis reusing pasted quote blocks for no apparently effective reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted Sunday at 11:50 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:50 PM Paraphrasing noted and you're correct. The latter was a new one though, are you reading this from a feed and replying by editor? I can understand that happening then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Commander or SubCommander Tillek? _Commander Adama__ is curious. yea, the guys have asked me to start being a part of that conf - and i will.. this past conf was just not possible for me to join. i will talk to all of you soon.

I happened across the SCSI2SD in my "stuff" box, connected it, and it "just worked". Aaaaaand now the BlueSCSI replaces the SCSI2SD in that box. It will never end. I'll die with hundreds of things I just never got around to using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, as I've said elsewhere (and maybe here too...) even if it doesn't work well for the 8-bitters yet (I'm sure they'll fix that firmware) it does have the advantage of being put in initiator mode to "image" actual hard drives without the intervention of a computer. That alone makes it something possibly worth having around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hook up a SCSI hard drive directly to it, set the jumper and it will make an image of the drive on the SD card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) It provides the commands to the bus letting the chain know who the boss is, targets them, and then it's firmware allows it to use a form of sector copy of the other drives to itself. When using the Falcon030 the computer itself can be given an ID and at the same time act as an initiator, thanks to nice HD driver software being aware, and you can form a SCSI network targeting the computers also on the scsi bus Edited 6 hours ago by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago You understand that just for sh*ts and giggles, we took the Falcon, installed linux and ran the video out the serial port to another machine to act as a display. I think it was X windows for the win iirc. Crazy but fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
