for this initial test i've chosen a disc that appears to have jet set willy on it one of the most famous games ever made for the zx spectrum and one that's been converted to most NUMBER_TOKEN-bit machines over the years but i've never seen it running on an atari NUMBER_TOKEN bit so this will be new to me the NUMBER_TOKEN disk drive has a fairly fast stock transfer speed at least compared to that of the stock NUMBER_TOKEN disk drive for the commodore NUMBER_TOKEN. please no haters to put things into perspective the stock commodore NUMBER_TOKEN drive has a transfer rate of NUMBER_TOKEN board or NUMBER_TOKEN bytes per second compared to the NUMBER_TOKEN board or NUMBER_TOKEN bytes per second of the atari unit of course the cNUMBER_TOKEN had all sorts of fast loaders both hardware and software which attempted mostly successfully to alleviate the problem for atari users there were hardware modifications available for the drive itself such as the happy NUMBER_TOKEN enhancement which claimed a NUMBER_TOKEN increase in read speed over the standard drive in order to get a feel for this i've left jet set woody loading in real time in the background so we can get a feel for standard low time for a game if there is such a thing and in this instance going by the onscreen countdown you've probably already figured out that we managed to load jet set willy on the atari NUMBER_TOKENxl from a standard NUMBER_TOKEN drive in just one minute and that doesn't seem too bad at all i don't have a working NUMBER_TOKEN drive at the moment so if any of you out there have got one and of jet set willie on disc i'd be interested to know how long it takes to load so let me know in the comments this is all subjective of course as it's a different code base and an entirely different game i mean on the atari this is supposed to be miner willy anyway this sort of comparison formed the basis of what i call playground debate when we kids would get together and discuss our experiences and effectively play top trumps with our specifications yeah your NUMBER_TOKEN might have blah blah blah but my spectrum has yada yada and so on luckily these days we're past all that aren't we anyway only a quick episode this week as i'm currently producing the channel's christmas special and one year anniversary yes in december the channel will be one year old and it's been quite a year and i'm hoping to close out with something really special that i hope you'll enjoy in the next episode in this series i'll be doing a full teardown investigation and refurb of this NUMBER_TOKEN a recap and hopefully installing one of those amazing turbo boosters for the drive we'll also finally get around to having a look at this s drive max unit which allows you to emulate four drives on your atari NUMBER_TOKEN with absolutely perfect accuracy there'll be more details when to expect that and other things we've got lined up for early next year in our christmas special thanks for watching and i hope you've enjoyed this little update if you like the video please subscribe to the channel and hit the bell for notifications of new content please leave your comments below as we always love to read them and if you've got anything you'd like to donate and see featured on the channel please drop us an email if you'd like to support us there are links on the
