Subject: R: Handler for SX212
Organization: University of North Carolina Extended Bulletin Board Service
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 02:57:08 GMT


Well, I finally upgraded all the way.  That's right:  1200 baud.  SX212
territory.  

I've been running at 300 baud for a while (several years) and finally made
the jump when I got the latest B&C Computervisions catalog (yes, they're
still there).  The problem I have, though, is this:  I don't have a
handler for the modem.  I got (as part of the package from B&C) SX
Express, but I have the Omniview board and like to run in 80 columns,
VT100 style.  For that I need a separate handler for the modem.  (There is
a handler on the disk, but it's screwed up; as a binary file, it's
supposed to start off with 255, 255, etc. but it starts out 127, 127, ...
so there's something fundamentally wrong with it.)

Is there anybody out there who has a handler for the SX212 that will work
with Omnicom?  I'd love to hear from you... or if you know where the
handler is located within the SX Express file, I'm fully capable of
pulling it out. 

Thanks,

Well, there is an Americanized version, I believe Mike recently uploaded
it, as four archives to the atari.archive.umich.edu.  you can tell
which one you have because the modified version says "Turbo" instead
of "READY" for a prompt.  It fixes some things, like the TIME functions
which used to be based on 50HZ and now are 60hz, and other things
detailed in the documentation.  Probably a good idea to look for that
version.

There is a guy in Virginia who bought up all the Atari Percom
inventory a couple of years ago.  He's got a bunch of various types
of controller cards (Percom made several flavours) as well as
drive mechs, cases, etc.  His name is Robert Burtt; his number
is (703) 641-9764 and when I spoke to him some time ago he asked that
calls be limited to between noon and 10pm EST.

If your looking for cheap... ERR inexpensive (yeah that's the ticket!)
ways of doing it, I did a joystick to IBM serial port hack that would
let you Xmodem transfer files at a whopping 300 baud. It's about $2 in
parts, you need someway of getting the transfer software to the Atari

I'm a little worried about about getting yelled at for to many
code post (as opposed to post code) if I U/L it again. If you're really
interested in that route, let me know soon as I may not be on the net much
longer.

First of all, if you have ftp access kindly use it and quit clogging up
the mail queues on campus.

Secondly, I'm happy to report that I've been test-abusing a new

one or two small details that Jon wanted to fix up before letting

Rick,

Wow, neato.  Okay, one more question.  You say you need:

   PROC SDXdummy()
   RETURN

at the beginning of the program.

But I want to declare some global variables, and I have some define's
to change the FI to endif, blah blah blah.  So would I just do something
like:

PROC SDXdummy()
RETURN

MODULE

DEFINE endif="FI", end="OD"

TYPE wierdrec=[INT i1, i2
	       BYTE b1,b2]

main()

   .

RETURN

and that would be it, no muss no fuss?

nope, I think about $5 (maybe $7?).  RS part #276-192
I've got a couple laying around waiting to get used,
so it couldn't have been $30.  For the cart edge card connector,
Digikey has some for $3 (30 pins is sort of oddball, but they
have it).

Anyway, I don't know if it would be any easier than the other
way - but it'd probably *look* more like a 800xl pbi 
(which, of course, is _very_ important :-)

With a hard disk, there are programs that let you save the configuration
data of the MIO or Black Box to a file; you could append one of those to
a password program, and without the proper password, the computer wouldn't
even "know" there is a hard disk.  Or, it would only have access to a small
partition containing DOS and the password program.  Since I live alone, I
haven't needed anything like that myself, but it could be done.

just FYI:  radio shack sells a 72 pin edge connector prototype
board which can easily be cut down to 50 pins, so you could have the
same connection as the 800xl.  this board also works well for
connecting to the 130xe version of the pbi - just need to add
a connector for cartridges.

Hi there !

I own an ATARI 800 XL with an ATARI 1050 disk drive (upgraded with a Happy).
Today I went into a computer shop not far away and saw two XF551 drives
standing there. Here in Germany there is not much ATARI 8 bitter stuff
selled anymore (as I think). So can you tell me what a new XF551 drive
costs ? I have really no idea.
The man in the shop wanted 250 DM (somewhat about $150 to $170) but I guess
this would be to much for it (I do not really need it, it's no question of
survival).
Please email me your answer (rossi@cs.tu-berlin.de)...
Thanx in advance.
