atarisio (disk emulator for use with Atari 8-bit computer and SIO2PC)
|
|
|
|
AtariSIO allows a Linux system to act as one or more disk drives,
|
|
a printer, and/or a cassette drive for an Atari 8-bit (400/800/XL/XE)
|
|
computer, using an SIO2PC cable.
|
|
|
|
Even without SIO2PC or a real Atari, this package includes some utilities
|
|
that are useful for manipulating and examining Atari disk, tape, and
|
|
executable images.
|
|
|
|
A real 16550A UART (or close derivative) is required. In particular,
|
|
atarisio does NOT work with USB to RS232 adaptors.

|
Before you can run atariserver or atarixfer, you will need the atarisio
|
|
kernel module loaded. If you're dedicating a serial port for use with
|
|
atariserver, you can add the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or
|
|
rc.local (as you prefer):
|
|
|
|
/sbin/modprobe atarisio port=/dev/ttyS0
|
|
|
|
(Replace ttyS0 if you're using a different serial port, of course)
|
|
|
|
If you need to use your serial port for other purposes, it's a little
|
|
less cut-and-dried. You will have to either manually modprobe and rmmod
|
|
the module as needed, or write yourself a script to do the job (possibly
|
|
also starting up agetty when the module is unloaded, or SLIP mode if
|
|
you're using FujiChat on your Atari, etc etc).
