#atari800 — Public Fediverse posts

Trying some ideas for a cross platform networked retro-game. Currently running on an #atari800 (altirra) /#fujinet and #segagenesis (blastem) / #retrolink. I hope to have a c64/meatloaf client running in the next day or two.

Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats.

1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999"
2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1
3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I
4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7
5 IF Q=10 THEN PRINT STR$(P+1);LEFT$(Z$,M);: P=0: M=0: GOTO 7
6 PRINT STR$(P);LEFT$(T$,M);: P=Q: M=0
7 NEXT J:PRINT STR$(P)

Edit: now ordered (seconds)

There's a 2.9kb binary file that runs on #Atari8bits with #FujiNet that quickly connects you to the Southern AMIS Projects 2026 - #Atari Gateway.

Here's a short demo.

btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D

The wonderful #ZafinnBooks¹ gave me this excellent haul of #Atari8bit equipment. All of it needs work and money put into it; none came with power supplies, for example. An #Atari800, an #Atari810 #FloppyDiskDrive, an #Atari130XE and an #AtariXG1 #LightGun.

I skipped the #16bit era and went straight from 8 to 32 bits. I'm taking huge delight in rediscovering it now!

I got started in computing with an #Atari800, and was aware that the #Amiga was the spiritual successor to the former machine. I've since picked up an #A600 (unloved when it was released, a great bit of kit in retrospect) which I'm making friends with.

What's surprised me though is the dearth of introductory documentation for the Amiga. Take a look at this documentation I got with this #Atari520STFM: An Owner's Manual and a three volume Discovery Pack.

Can someone point me at equivalent documentation for the #Amiga600, please?

Having a complete hoot getting an old but surprisingly functional #OKI #MicroLine3320 #DotMatrix #Printer working with my #Atari800. It prints single lines beautifully, but it doesn't line feed on reaching the #ATASCII line ending 0x9B.

Looks like I need to configure the printer to understand the non-standard Atari linefeed. Let's see if that's possible!

#RetroComputing #RetroPrinting #atari8bit

I am having an unreasonable amount of fun rediscovering the amazing #atari8bit universe. My trusty original #Atari800 has been fitted with #lotharek's #INCOGNITO board and #FujiNetPro (and a flawless 1050 floppy drive for good measure). Figuring out how to get all this hardware playing nicely together has taken me a few evenings of experimentation and many hours trawling through the #AtariAge forums! I'm getting the hang of it now. #SpartaDOSX is thankfully quite like #MSDOS, with a pleasing #Atari accent.

It's funny - games don't really interest me. It's the utility software that floats my boat. Can I actually be productive with #FlashJazzCat's #TheLastWord #WordProcessor? I can see myself writing official correspondence with it, printed to one of the many printers emulated by the #FujiNet.

Is #AtariPril a thing? Attempt to use an 8-bit Atari for all your computing needs during April? I might just get enough skills built up by then to be somewhat productive!
