Method #1: (Using APE or APE'98, the Atari Computer, and a real Atari disk drive) Load APE and attach your APE interface, being sure to verify it is working. Attach your real Atari disk drive to the SIO bus, configure it as drive 2. Turn on the real disk drive. Load the APE_WARP.ATR image into drive 1.
Make sure the drive is Drive 1. Put the floppy in the drive and close the door. Turn on the computer. The drive may make some seeking noises and. the computer should start beeping (if not, turn up the TV/monitor volume) At this point, you'll see a game, a DOS menu or a READY prompt. If you get a READY prompt, type DOS.
Sep 29, 2018 · Step 4. Run the APE software and click on the Start APE Now button. Step 5. Connect your Atari to the SIO2PC with an SIO cable. Connect the SIO2PC to your computer with a USB cable. You should see a message at the bottom of the APE software that says “APE USB interface detected and configured” if all goes well. Step 6.

Back in 2008, Bob!k (Robert Petružela) & Raster (Radek Štěrba) of CPU, created the original SDrive. It won the Abbuc hardware contest that year and the schematics, source code, and designs were all released publicly. This spurred the creation of a couple of improved versions; the SDrive-NUXX in 2009 by c0nsumer, the SDrive Micro in 2012 by santosp,...
The SDrive-MAX is a simple device to make, there is a little soldering but nothing above beginner level. By default the SDrive-MAX ties up the SIO bus of your Atari; no other devices plugged in to SIO will work. There are simple workarounds for that, which will make the SDrive-MAX a good neighbour, but it does require a little more effort to make. ...
Once you have built your SDrive-MAX, it will need to have the SDrive-MAX software on it for it to work. You can get the latest release of the software from the GitHub page of the developers. The latest release is always at the top, you want the zip file from the assets section. Download it and unzip it; you will find some documents and five folders...
The SDrive-MAX can be controlled either by the touch screen on the device or directly on the Atari. By default “D0:” is enabled, this will make the Atari boot to the SDrive menu.
I genuinely believe there is no need to buy an SDrive-MAX. It’s an easy and fun project that even complete novices can have a go at. The skills and tools required are cheap and easy to use; a working one can be made in less than an hour (3D printing aside), but I understand some people just do not want, don’t have the time, or aren’t confident enou...
The main discussion at atariageThe main discussion at abbucMar 7, 2019 · Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk. I'd just like to point out the SIO2PC and SIO2SD are two different animals. SIO2PC allows you to connect your SIO port to a PC through either a serial or USB connection. For reliability I would recommend using the FTDI board with the USB connection.
Right click on the Sio2pcUSB icon and then click "Properties". This will bring up the properties dialog for the device. Click the "Hardware" tab to see which serial port name Windows has assigned to the device. This will be needed when configuring the serial peripheral emulator software in the next section.

Mar 31, 2024 · Seventh, click on the disk icon next to 1: (drive 1) and load an ATR file. Then, turn on the Atari just as you would for booting a disk from an 810 or 1050 floppy drive (e.g. holding down the Option button to disable BASIC on the 800XL). Note that you can also simply drag and drop your files into the drive slots.
