Default is CompyShop mode, compatible with Q-meg. -rambo Use Rambo mode of 320 kB memory. -5200 Enable Atari 5200 Games System Emulation Mode. -artif enables Colour Artifacting -nobasic Disables BASIC (just like when you hold down OPTION while booting) -basic Enables BASIC (even if disabled in atari800.cfg by HoldOption) -nopatch Normally the OS is patched giving very fast I/O. This option prevents the patch from being applied so that the OS works using the serial port hardware directly. This option will probably never be needed since programs that access the serial hardware directly will work even if the OS has been patched. -rom Loads the following 8K ROM Cartridge -rom16 Loads the following 16K ROM Cartridge -ags32 Loads the following Atari 5200 Games System 32K ROM Cartridge. -oss Loads the following OSS Super Cartridge -db Loads the following DB Super Cartridge (Private 32K Cartridge Format - not for general use) -a Use Atari OS/A ROM (atariosa.rom) -b Use Atari OS/B ROM (atariosb.rom) [default] -c Enable RAM between $C000 and $CFFF -d Enable DEBUG Mode.

A future solution maybe to automatically issue a CAPS lock key when a transition is made between lower and upper case keys. i.e. If svgalib return 'a' followed by 'A' it could send 'a' 'CAPS' 'A' to the Atari. The CTRL+SHIFT keyboard combinations are implemented using the left ALT key.
