Hello:
Here's my question. I am trying to figure out how to load certain
commands on an Atari 800xl. I guess I should say 'files'. I can load
BASIC files just fine with DOS loaded, I just exit to BASIC and
RUN"D1:game.bas" -- is there a way to do it directly from DOS 2.5, etc.,
without going back to BASIC?
At the basic prompt, you type run"d:basic.gam to load and
execute, or load"d:filename.bas to just load it, then type run.
And, my primary question.... if I see a machine
language file in the DOS
directory such as ataridemo.obj or game237.com, how can I load these. I
have interpreted from some other sources that I need to reboot without
the basic cartridge in to run a machine language program, but how
'actually' do I do it? I don't see any of the menu options under DOS
that say "load machine language file: " or anything like that.
At the dos menu, type "L" and then type the filename, it will load
and execute. Pretty simple, really.
Please respond back if you have any information, as I
am trying to
catalog all those Atari 800 (and everything) disks.
I have over 480 cartridge images that will run from ram. :)
Cracked carts they're called. I don't know if the copyright is off them
tho, as the owner (Atari/Warner) is out of business all together now...sq
