Thanks
Cheers all for your help i have a better understanding now
I realise that i have to install the peril for windows etc... I will follow the step by step then take it from there.I must admit though i thought it was a lot simpler to flash images on the cart LOL
I thought once you had loaded the flash software then it was a case of the cart being inserted at the time then there would be questions on screen to format and transfer etc..... i did not realise you had to have other software installed like peril LOL
Oh well i will give it a go and see what happens but i must admit having an harddrive for my 800xl which i bought from mr.atari's website which is called the myide is a whole lot better for storing and playing games than a 1 or 8mb cart
and a whole lot cheaper!
The new myide is for sale now that accepts any harddrive no matter what!
