I.Device specificationThe SIDE2 interface, provides hard disk functionality and much more for 8-bit Atari computers, allpackaged in a compact cartridge design. The device features: On-board SpartaDOS X Real-Time Clock Compact Flash card slot Switchable loader and SDX modes Programmable "SIDE button" 256KB external flash application cartridge spaceUsing the special SIDE build of SpartaDOS X, one can enjoy many of the benefits of a hard diskinterface on the Atari by simply plugging in the cartridge and turning on the machine. The SIDE driverfor SDX is loaded directly from SDX's "CAR" (Cartridge) device at boot-up, and all the necessarysoftware tools are right there on the cartridge. SIDE files on the CAR device include: SIDE.SYS (driver) FDISK.COM (disk partitioning tool) HDDINFO.COM (hard disk information report utility) PARTINFO.COM (partition information utility) MOUNT.COM (dynamic partition mounting tool)The SIDE driver for SpartaDOS X uses the APT (Atari Partition Table) scheme, devised by KonradKokoszkiewicz. This ensures storage media can be easily shared with other compliant interfaces(currently MyIDE for SDX, Incognito, Ultimate 1MB PBI, and the IDE Plus 2.0 APT Beta BIOS).The SIDE2 interface also can work in quick loader mode and ATR loader ( with ultimate internalupgrade).www.lotharek.pl 2016page 3
