Prova su banco dell’interfaccia SIO2SD per Atari

L’interfaccia SIO2SD per Atari 8-bit Atari XL / XE è un dispositivo che consente di caricare i giochi e applicazioni da schede di memoria SD/MMC. L’interfaccia viene connessa tramite il connettore SIO (Serial Input/Output) dell’Atari.

Caratteristiche tecniche:

  • Works with SD (not SDHC) and MMC(FAT12,FAT16 and FAT32 formats)
  • Handles ATR (rw), XFD (ro) and COM/XEX (ro) file types.
  • 16×2 LCD display allows to “walk” catalog tree and choose files to load.
  • Handles SIO with turbo (allows to set speed index from 1 to 16, default is 6 (69kb/s), in versions 1.x speed index was always 10 (51kb/s))
  • All densities with 128B and 256B sectors, including 16MB disks.
  • Handles drives D1 to D8.
  • Can be configured using ATARI (it’s possible to load configuration tool directly from MCU flash memory, so no SD card is needed)
