I rediscovered my 130XE recently and I have about 5-6 dozen disks worth of data that I'd like to somehow export to my Windows 10 PC. This includes miscellaneous games that I typed in from Antic, programs that I wrote myself, word processor documents, software disks that I purchased, etc. What is the easiest way for me to do this? Can I mount my 1050 drive to my PC somehow and navigate though it like a typical mounted drive? I've seen people mention FujiNet, 10502PC, and SIO2PC as options. FujiNet seems overkill for what I want to do. Any suggestions?
I have a 1050 and an 800XL which I retrieved from my parent's attic.
The 1050 worked once and loaded a disc and then the busy light/motor never worked again.
Trying to troubleshoot it but struggling. I have the service manual which I'm trying to work my way through. I don't have 12v DC on TP14 but I am pretty sure that when I first started to troubleshoot it I did have 12v on TP14 so not sure if I have mucked it up even more! Checking the 7812 gives 21v on the input but nothing on the output, so I replaced the 7812. The new regulator does exactly the same so I'm baffled? I do have 5v on TP13.
I tried registering on Atari Age which I thought would be a good place to try to get help, but didn't seem to be getting approved so I deleted my registration. Will have to try again tomorrow now that I know that a delay in approval is normal!
Cheers!
Edit: Just checked again. I get 0.5v on TP14 and the output of 7812 and it should be 12v
