After a break of more than 20 years, The Atari - MS-DOS emulator

I spoke some time ago, about my old project i did on the Atari 8bit, the infamous

 

Atari 8bit - Ms-DOS emulator made an Atari 800XL 64kb able to run MS-dOS batch files, and was also able to exchange programs, files etc on a standard 1050 drive.

 

I might soon (next week) buy an Atari collection, with 130Xe and 2 1050 drives.

 

And like to start again. I have to do it all from memory. But i think i will succeed.

 

The original disks are lost in history because i never let my friends copy the source code.

 

So now its up for me, to prove to you all, that i indeed did make this very important program for the Atari 8bit.

The original version was made with a machinecode monitor program.

 

The new version i make, will be made with the Atmas II assembler.

 

Lucky for me, i collect computers. And have a working IBM XT at my home, with old 5.25 inch diskdrive. Then i can try that PC with my Atari 8-bit - MS-DOS emulator program.

 

 

 

If i was born 10 years early, i was now a millionaire, and IBM , Microsoft and Apple were dead. Atari had won the war.
