Using following kit Atari 800XL 256k, Laptop, 2x1050s, Dual sio2pc-usb trying to write out ATR to real 5ΒΌ" floppy, using Prosystem Prosystem successfully detects disk drive and allows me to choose ATR to write to disk then, clicking START produces following error msg: Drive 1 Aborted (could not Open serial port) things i've tried swapping disks drives for other 1050s and Indus, Rana & XF551 swapping XL for 1200XL (ult 1mb), 800XE (576k), and stock 800XL swapping SIO cables re-installing APE?Prosystem software opening up molex connectors - all contacts are secured one thing worth noting ALL combinations of the above will boot a real disk and format and copy from within the real Atari platform, any help appreciated |

Old question but anyway here's my experience. "Can not open serial port" error sometimes happen to me too, usually re-scanning drives will solve the problem. if not, exit Prosystem, unplug the SIO2PC, wait a few seconds and re-plug it, start Prosystem and see if it works this time. I am not sure why that happens, perhaps because it is a VCP port rather than a real serial port. Also, wait until the port scanning is completed before selecting any menu options, if you are too fast (faster than the scan) sometimes Prosystem will not detect the drive properly. Ray |
