[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Diskcomm problems on 800XL

den@hpfinote.HP.COM (Don Novy) (04/13/90)

  Has anyone got Diskcomm running on an Atari 800XL? I've downloaded the
uuencoded file to convert Zybex but get various failure modes. I've tried Atari
Dos 2.0, Indus GT Dos XL; both with and without the Translator disk. When I
boot Diskcomm, I always get the initial graphics display, but then I get either
a blank screen or a garbage display of vertical lines. 

  My 800XL has a few modifications so it is not "standard." I have the 256K RAM
modification by Claus Buchholz and a 4 joystick modification that makes it look
like an Atari 400.

  From reading the discussion about Zybex, I would like to get it running. So,
if anyone has Diskcomm running on their 800XL, please let me know how you did
it.
