Technically, the use of serial is difficult. There may be some parts out there that allow simple use of a RS232 line with out a microprocessor, but I am not familiar with them. The cheapest method would be to use a small micro controller, but I don't have a programmer that does micro controllers, or the software to develop such a thing. My design uses a parallel port because this is very easy to build hardware for. There is another design out there by Pete Rittwage that is a little simpler than my circuit, but also uses the parallel port. > Call me crazy, but don't we nearly have that already with the > Supercharger? A couple of quick changes to Supercharger, a run through > Makewav, and POOF! from your sound card to your Atari. Well, sorta: I don't know. Has anyone ever had any problem with a program that does not work when used through makewav and the supercharger?(but does when burned) I havn't had much experiance with the supercharger, but once a game is sent to it, does it work identical to building a EPROM cart? I know that the way I made mine, and from the Technical descriptions of Pete's, that the result is an image that is identical to an EPROM cart. Actually when I was finishing my testing of my cart, I realised that I had actually built an eprom emulator, so I know it worked(I actually had a ribbon cable with a DIP socket on the end plugged into an EPROM cart with a socket.)
