Hey dumbass, it's very much possible. There are plenty of examples for the Commodore 64 and the MSX computers as well. Now, the sound chips in the Atari 800 and Commodore 64, and most all 8-bit computers, aren't designed for PCM playback, but you're hearing that too.
If you were truly a "computer geek", you would know that the most of the limitations of a machine are determined by programmers, and not the hardware itself.
@Mrcomputergeek1 IS REAL.dont you see the resolution its a mixed mode of graphics 9(160x200 pixels) of the atari xl with other mode of (80x200 pixels) in real time you see the 2 images at the same time becouse ANTIC the graphics processor of the atari had this bug.ITS AMAZING a PC needs to play a low profile mpg1 320x240 a Pentium 200Mhz Class , anda a ATARI 800XL had 1.7mhz 6502 CPU.good programmers,good hardware (jeff miner thanks)
But that was pretty freaking awesome. Never expected that good sound quality for an Atari 800xl. If somebody programmed this technology back then for that and it sold well, then we would be looking at a very different era of computing and gaming.
Interface IDEA/KMK has 2 mode of work a)in emulation (256 bytes per sectors) Old 2.5 HDD: DOS writing: 8713.666 B/sek. DOS reading: 36714.887 B/sek DOS average: 22714.276 B/sek For CF card (256MB KINGSTON): DOS writing: 14269.1046 B/sek DOS reading: 41892.6276 B/sek DOS average: 28080.8661 B/sek b) in Real mode (512 bytes per sectors) 50-80 kilobyte/sek Testing by RW-TEST in Sparta Dos X (You Can find this software on drac030*krap*pl/rwtest.arc)
Interesting interface and works with SpartaDOS. It's a pity there is no commercial way of this prodcut in USA. Maybe someone of the designers authors could talk with Steve from USA w*atarimax*com His shop is very popular for Atari american users.
There are a lot of Atarian people who find continuously this type of hardware. That's the reason why SIO2PC, SIO2USB and MyIDE sells a lot. You don't need to assembly them, only post the electrical design and Steve will do the rest. Really we want all these Polish tech. :) Thanks for the effort!
A web store that Atarians could visit will be a good idea. This year Mr.Atari-Steve will launch the MyIDE+Flashcart easy internal adaptor, 100% compatibility and LBA support. Otherside, at November great SIO2USB devive will be launched in Germany. Good news!
Well, that sounds interesting. MyIDE+Flashcart works at the maximun of 60-64Kb/seg transfer. What is the top for IDEA/KMK? Is it a commercial interface available for the community?
Er, it would have been the new HDTV thing back then, if anyone had thought to program this back then. Even digitizing that much video was an expensive proposition, to say nothing of actually playing it.
