Hi!
Got the Atari 8bit bug, and setup an Atari XEGS and MyIDE 4.3i for it, and I can't find Self Test or Missile Command.
I thought these ROMS were included in the Flash, but have no idea how to call them. Install Docs
here even suggest to use them as a test. I have tried option, but only get basic.
some notes:
-All my CF cards do not work (Lexar 64mb 4x, Kingston 256mb, Verbatim 1gb, and sandisk 4gb 30MB/s) and throws FDISK with errors (something 131). I have tried pin 20 power, and a separate powersupply, same results.
-I suspect it's a PHI timing issue, and will be trying out Mathy PHI mod (I'm a solder monkey
or CPU
-Using a 20GB 2.5" so time being untill a Transcend 4gb vertical IDE comes in.
-Performed XEGS S-Video
Mod-Using a power supply from an Old D-Link Router (and it's power connector) 5v 2.5A, so I don't think it's an Amperage issue
however, it is a switching type psu (which most computers use) and not sure if I should keep using it or find another PSU.
-Some pictures of my Atari XEGS

Histroy:
My Dad bought an Atari 800XL (He modded it with an XL-erator?) tape drive, 2x dd fdd's, and a pile of joysticks and games
but he sold it D:
so, I bought an Atari 130XE and had some fun with it, untill I sold it (was using the ST's at the time)
now, I have a Son, and thought what better way to teach him the inners on a computer, but to use an old and simple device like an Atari 8-bit. So, bought an XEGS from B&C Computer Visions and will probably buy more stuff from him like memory upgrade and peripherals.
ok, long post...
Having fun, but Docs are a little sparse, and am following Paranoid's Quick start guide for Newbs (Me
Thank you for any respone(s)
