I set up my Atari 130XE today, for the first time in eight years. Eight years ago I got it working long enough to make several backups of all the program disks, which are all going on 20 years old. Unfortunatly all the disks with the tetris clone I wrote fail to boot. All the other programs are still surviving. Playing with the Atari is still fun!

I need to get a SIO cable and a SIO2PC and transfer these programs off and put them in subversion.


Update: Tetris is on those disks, they're just not bootable, but it can be loaded by hand. Then it fails at line 10380 since the high score files are missing. (This is not the well-polished tetris disk I remember..) Fixable:

10380 RETURN

Then it works. Yay!
