Wanted: 5.25" Head Cleaning Disk

Mon Feb 6, 2012 9:39 PM

I used to have a few of these and they got lost somehow. Anyone have any extras?

Game loader idea...

Sun Feb 5, 2012 7:22 PM

I was just thinking about all the different game menus and file compressors out there and wondered how well the two could be combined. What if a short loader-DOS with sector decompression were written so that the games could be written to the disk in a compressed format that the included mini-DOS could expand on the fly, giving increased capacity without the need to include a de-packer (and its delays) with each file. A utility could be used (either on the Atari, or PC) to add files to and extract files from the disk image. The only tricky part I can think of is making room for the buffers needed without breaking too many games.

Anyone got a dead PAL 800XL?

Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:10 PM

Since I can't find my PAL 800XL, I figured I'd look for someone's old parts machine since I have a lot of repair chips. If you've got a dead 800XL you don't mind parting with (or it can even be the mobo and bottom case only), please let me know.
