AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.
AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.
Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:
- 8 disk drive emulation.
- Up to 6x SIO speed.
- Support for ATR, XFD, PRO and ATX (preliminary) disk images.
- Mount folders as emulated disks.
- Disk image explorer.
- Directly boot Atari executables.
- Text only printer emulation with PC print, save, and ATASCII font support.
- Cassette image playback.
- Multilingual GUI (English, Polish, Turkish and Russian)
- AspeQt client module (AspeCl) for Atari, downloads information from the host to the Atari. Time/Date is an example with more functionality to come in the future.
Changelog:
- MainWindow of AspeQt is now fixed and can not be re-sized manually. Minimum screen resolution required is 800×600 for a proper fit on the display. Use of 1024×768 is recommended.
- Tooltips are added to display extended mounted image information.
- Added option to display/suppress message log window, setting is saved in registry/session file.
- Increased the supported drive numbers from 8 to 15 for SDX compatibility.
- Added option to display/suppress additional drives, setting is saved in registry/session file.
- Fixed SDX incompatibility of Folder Images.
- Added browsing capability for Folder Images. This release only allows read-only support with drag and drop file copying from the Folder Image. Multiple Folder Images can be mounted.

SNDH archive v4.0 released. 121 SNDH-files added or updated!
Ever since the birth of the Atari ST, different chip music formats have had different ways to use them. If you are coding a chip music player for the Atari ST you would have to use dozens and dozens of special ways to replay music.
But in the mid 90′s, BDC of Aura crew became tired of this inelegant system and decided to fix the issue once and for all. He then created the ‘SNDH’ file format. SNDH is actually the original songfile and replaycode with a header bolted on top of the music and replayer. The header has a unified calling interface no matter what type of chip music is hidden beneath it, and it has extended datas about the music.

Peter Jørgensen has released a new Beta version of his YM-2149 Tracker for M$ Windows. The sound chip YM-2149 is used in Atari ST/E/Falcon series.
New Function in Beta 14.00:
- Mixer control.
- Stereo.
- Simple reverb.
- Startup directory.
Beta 14.00 – note from the author:
The Ym2149 version 14.0 Beta is probably the most important update that I have released. I have change how the program handle the sound thread and that have improve the stability of the program very much.
Sometime when changing device / export to wav /sampling frequency, etc. the program would hang, but that should be gone now.
I have rewritten the Ym2149 emulations, so it should be closer to that of a real Ym2149 chip. I have also made a mixer window, where you can change stereo/ mono mode, reverb, and output volume of the channels. plus a lot more. I have also remove a numbers of smaller errors.

Autopsy:
The SIO2SD is a device that allows you to load games/applications into any 8-bit Atari XL/XE computers via SIO interface from SD cards.
This version is like the original SIO2SD (based to latest schematic “version 2″) but in a smaller form with some improvements by Panos.
Panos improvements:
- As for the cpu the latest “low consumption” ATMega32A microcontroller in smd form.
- The 74LVC245 who guarantees good data transfer between the microcontroller and SDcard, in proper voltage levels also.
- New 47nf capacitors for better button response.
- Extra resistor and capacitor added in output of low dropout voltage regulator, for better voltage stability particularly at “no load” condition. As result of that is much higher reliability and compatibility with more SD cards.
- New tactile switches with smooth feeling for more comfortable use.
- Push on-Push off type SD connector.
