X-Troll Products - SMDsend
If you own a Sega Megadrive with a Super Magic Drive and an Atari ST it is possible to connect the Super Magic Drive to the ST and use this cheap copy-station as a development system. However there was no transfer utility available on the ST, maybe because this combination was a bit rare.
Since the Cyclone owned all these machines and he wanted to start coding on the Megadrive he coded this little utility, which can actually transfer *.SMD files from the ST to the Megadrive via parallelport. SMDsend ManualThis is the web version of the complete manual for SMDsend. It is also enclosed in the download package. What is SMD_SEND.TOS?It's a transfer-utility, that can transfer Megadrive games in SMD-format from the ST to a Super Magic Drive copy station. That means if you have stored your MD-Games on a Harddisk, you can simply send them to your SMD via the included cable. All you need to do is to connect the cable to your SMD and to the STs parallel port. The SMD-unit will automatically run your games after transferring them, so you can play them without putting them on a disk. Can I use SMD_SEND.TOS?SMDsend is a useful utility for all those, who own a SEGA-Megadrive with a Super-Magic-Drive-Copy-Station and a computer of the ATARI ST-family. How do I install SMD_TOS?Simply start it by clicking on a *.SMD-file, before you can do this,
you have
Enter "SMD" as document type and klick on the button install afterwards. You should be able to transfer *.SMD files to the Super Magic Drive now. What do I need further?You need a centronics cable for the connecting your SMD to the ST, you can also use the floppy-cable of the floppy which is supplied with any SMD. If you have no cable you can simple build one by connecting all pins 1:1. Please note that the specifications of later SMDs or the supplied cables might have changed, so you better check the cables for a correct pinout.
