W E L C O M E Few months ago I saw very first time Atari800win emulator. It was incredible, because I have still Atari 130 XE and I wrote a lot of programs on it. When I was sixteen my father bought me Atari 800 XL with XC12 cassette player. I was play in many games by one or two years. After that I wrote my first program in Atari Basic. It was a simple game. After a few months I was learn assembler 6502 and wrote short programs. In 1991 I wrote my first game in assembler - "Miecze Valdgira". Betweem years 1989 - 1994 I wrote many programs on Atari 800 XL / 130 XE. My games: - "Miecze Valdgira" (1991) - "Saper" (1991) - "Kult" (1992) - "Artefakt Przodkow" (1992 ?) - "Miecze Valdgira II" (1993) - "Krucjata" (1993) My tools: - "Mini Copy" (1989 ?) - "Big Assembler" (1989 .. 1992) - "Sound Tracker" (1991) - and many many more ... When I saw Atari800win emulator I decide to transfer all my programs and sources from Atari to PC. Few weeks ago I started analysing of Atari Turbo 2000 format and wrote program who can read files from Atari. By connecting Atari 800 XL, (130 XE etc.) to the sound card's input connector ('Audio In') via special cable You may transfer files from Atari to PC. Cable is describe below: to Atari's joystick to PC's Audio In port 2 (joystick left) 3 )-------* | --- | | 10 k ohm | | --- | *-----------------------------------------------( left channel | --- | | 1.8 k ohm | | --- (GND) | 8 )------*-----------------------------------------------( ground ATARI 6 7 8 9 --------- / o o o o \ / o o o o o \ ------------- 1 2 3 4 5 PC Jack " " |--| | | | | | | | | | | ------ || || ------- ground -- || ------- right channel -- || ------- left channel -- Atari T2000 is free.
