(X)CONTROL.ACC download?

Post by Reluctant16bitter »

I'm trying to get rid of the key press beep of my Atari STE with TOS 2.06, and I by way of screenshots am led to understand an accessory called CONTROL or XCONTROL would help me do that. I have found several disk images that supposedly contain this utility, but my PC doesn't have a floppy drive and I haven't found an Atari application that can write an ST or MSA file to floppy.

Does anyone know of either?

So you don't have a floppy drive for transferring files? Well how about getting yourself a Gotek drive so you'll be able to use those image files?

JayMSA will absolutely write to a floppy.

You can make ST images in Hatari or STeem. Floimg is otherwise good for handling images and files on those.

JayMSA is a great application. Thanks! Also for XCONTROL.ACC.

No problem - glad to be able to help. :)

Oh, it's a known thing - when you use JayMSA, after some of its actions the
menu's look a bit scrambled. It's not a big deal and doesn't affect the operation.

I usually just restart it if/when it does that.
