So then would this allow cartridges that are unplayable on an 800 (i.e. Flight Simulator II) to become playable? Flight Simulator II needs at least 64K to function, so a stock 800 won't play it.
The memory structure is not the same as the XL or XE machines, so anything requiring 64k Xl machine would not work. Axlon is suported by some office apps like syncalc. Probably used primarily as ram drive.
Hey, does your 810 Happy have the Rev 7 Hardware? Your DOS XL Warp Speed uses that 'slower' original happy protocol, noticeable by the lower SIO tone compared to the later UltraSpeed emulation. The older happy upgrades only supported this 'Warp Speed' Protocol. Topic of discussion on AA.. atariage.com/forums/topic/257578-happy-810-resources/?p=4128233
Just saw this in my spam folder? I purchased my Happy upgrade from B&C and was supposed to be the latest version. I took a photo of it before installation. I'll have to dig it up and check the eprom.
That’s the coolest thing since bread was sliced!
