Hello all,
yesterday i have added a webpage with info about my Windows-based tool WinFLASH V1.2 for the Atari Flashcard, you can find it in the tools section of my Jaguar-website, on the webpage are links for ZIP-archives with the executable and the Visual C++ source, as well as links to the website of the printer-port driver DLL you'll need to get my program work.
Here is the link to the WinFLASH webpage:

Hello!
So did it work for you and all the other who tried it out?
I am asking because i wasn't able to test it before releasing it.
Kind regards
Matthias

Sorry not had need or chance to try it out yet. Will also need to dig out a cable for it too.
I'll let you know once I do.

Do you need an old computer with parallel port to program it ?
Or is there a usb -> parallel cable that works under windows 7 that will do ?
Like the skunkboard the cartridge needs to be in the atari jaguar to be programmed or there is a way to give it power away from the jaguar ?

Hello!
Yes, Atari's FLASH-card uses a parallel-port cable connection (DSUB-25 to DSUB25), and Atari provided a DOS-based program that communicates with the FLASH-card via the printer-port.
This could be possible, but i don't have any experience with such USB-to-Printer-cables.
(For my development-work i use a "Jaguar era"-compatible Win98SE-PC with both real printer and real serial ports).
No, you need to have the Atari FLASH-card inserted in the Jaguar's cartridge slot, the FLASH-card is not an autonome device.
Kind regards
Matthias

So unless the Flash cart protocol is compatible, it won't work.
