Atarimax "Maxflash" Flash MultiCartsPreliminary Documentation, 07/10/2005©2005 Steven J Tucker |
Introduction
Atarimax Flash Cartridges are professionally produced, in-system reprogrammable flash-memory based cartridge for the Atari 8-bit computers.
While the hardware itself can be programmed with anything, it is also supported by an open-source multi-cart/disk-cart/banked-cart development system which is already robust enough to produce large multicarts/disk conversions without any programming by the user.
Its the intention of the initial 1Mb and 8Mb cartridge projects to provide a easy to use platform for homebrewing of inexpensive, legal multi-carts and other software, while being small enough to allow it to be completely and quickly re-programmed in the Atari itself, using only a standard floppy disk drive or SIO2PC software.
Larger flash and card media cartridges are currently in beta testing and will be supported by the same community developed tools.
