Great job, quick test on real hardware:

Great!!!
Is this for the hardware SIDE or MYIDE> if for SIDE please post mine as I would like to try this new set up.

The version here on atariage is for SIDE-hardware.
There are also versions for MyIDE (internal and external etc) found on the atarimax-forum.

The problem with the image-loader is the same as for all loaders, if it overwrite the source it's a gonner ;-)
And programs that use OS-ram won't run (there resides the MyBIOS-F), here the only solution is a ROM-version....

Later!

This is a pre-beta for testing here on atariage.
Just drop a reply or PM what you think about it. ;-)
The cartridge-bootmenu default=ON.

64k machines who want to run FDISK, need the config.atr in D1:

Setup your CF-card using the MyIDE-MENU:
The init routine will detect room for FAT32/APT.
Since this is a beta, FAT32/APT/MyIDE-room-resevation is fixed.

The rom-image is 512k, contaning the original SDX,SIDE and MyBIOS.
Switch must be on SDX to flash the hardware.

Altirra SIDE-firmware included.

Happy computering!

any help would be welcome.

Sure: Create CONFIG.SYS on drive 1. Put the following commands in it:

USE OSRAM
DEVICE SPARTA OSRAM
DEVICE SIO
DEVICE MYIDE

Boot SDX and it will configure itself to this very minimal setup. You won't even be able to read AtariDOS format disks. Typing "MEM" at the command prompt will give you the current MEMLO. Try and run FDISK with this configuration. You can then selectively start adding drivers to the config until MEMLO gets too high to be useful.

Yep that works for a 800xl, great.
I wonder how newbies get by, without knowing this.....
MyBIOS-SIDE setup works too.
Nice and easy swapping between fat32/myide/apt :-)

Later guys!

any help would be welcome.

the standaard sdx that comes with SIDE doesn't load FDISK on a 64k machine.
so, what to configure?

Remember, I'm a noob with SDX

How do I use FDISK on a stock 64k machine?
