Feb 20, 2024 · Atari Systems. Atari 8-Bit Computers. There are a number of guides to this device, many tell you how to make one, some tell you how to set it up, but I'm not seeing as many on how to use them. Many youtube videos are not clear enough are too profuse at an hour plus with 4 ads for buying their version in the first 5 minutes.

- This is EXCELLENT kamakazi, thank you for posting this!
- You are most welcome. It can be time consuming to setup and learn how to do it but the end results are worth it. Besides, we need more ST stuff her...
- Awesome job. The only thing I would add is that HD floppy disks can be used too. Just put a piece of masking tape over the hole. I know it can be v...
- Thanks for telling us this tutorial. Now, if I can, I can create my own floppy disks with titles on them.
- The only thing to keep in mind is if there was any sort of copy protection schemes used they may still be present. So you may still need original c...

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 abbucDec 3, 2012 · If you don't see a C: icon on the desktop, then click on one of the drive icons and select "Install Disk Drive" under the Options menu. Then make sure you put in "C" as the drive letter and it'll show after you click "OK". The MSA and ST disk images should only be mounted as floppy disks and not put in the "hard drive".
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.
