Hi all

I just bought a Pal Atari 600XL and it came with a SIO2SD I was wondering what games can I run on the 16K 600XL using the SIO2SD

Cheers

Hi simbo2 are you posting out those chips still so i know to keep a eye out for them in the post

Perhaps loose Memory chips? Or capacitors which have failed? Ask yourself how much a working 2nd hand 520 STfm goes for on eBay before attempting a long arduous repair. Yes true it would be easyer but the old Atari ST doesnt pop up on ebay au alot. this was the first one i seen in over a year if no...
