Ice-T Quickstart guide ---------------------- Real men and real women use real hardware. Most of you however probably just want to get this running on your emulator with minimal hassle, so here is a quick start guide for users of the Altirra emulator under Windows. I assume you have a copy of Altirra (tested version was 2.30) and real Atari XL ROM files. In Altirra make the following settings under the System menu: Hardware > 65XE / 130XE. Firmware > 600XL / 800XL. Firmware > BASIC *not* checked. Memory Size > 128K (130XE). R-Time8 > checked. Serial Ports > Enable serial port emulation. Select 850 Interface Module. Emulate Telnet Protocol. Allow outbound connections. Drag the icet.xex file icon onto the Altirra window. Ice-T should load correctly. At the title screen press Enter twice to enter terminal mode. At this point you should be able to type: atdI to establish a Telnet connection to any Internet host. Note that the 'I' must be in upper case, and that port 23 is the standard for Telnet. Try one of these: atdI irc.atarichat.net 800 (an IRC chat gateway) atdI www.atarinews.org 23 (the Atarinews.Org BBS. user: bbs, pw: bbs) Option and Select (F4/F3) can be used to scroll back through your history. Press Ctrl-1 to pause when text is scrolling too fast. You can close a connection with Ctrl-Shift-H (Hangup). Access the main menu with Shift-Esc. Note that since you've booted Ice-T without DOS, disk functionality will be unavailable so you can't save your settings or do any file operations. Enjoy :)
