Re: Terminator 2 - Credit Card PIN Program/Computer (Atari Portfolio) ***PIC HEAVY***
Based off of a little trial and error, here’s the full code/instructions for the current iteration of my PIN Program. Anyone can do it and all you need is a working Atari Portfolio.
I’m not sure why, but I was having trouble getting my Portfolio to connect via Parallel to both my old PCs running XP. Any advice on how to get them to communicate would be appreciated - both machines are just stuck at “Waiting for connection.”
________
The programming language is SUPER simple but it’s also nice to have a little programming background.
(If anyone’s interested, you can also take a look at the
LOST Swan Station Hatch Computer I restored from an Apple II Plus a while back:
http://www.therpf.com/f9/lost-swan-station-hatch-computer-build-99-9-complete-170662/)
On the Portfolio, you want to use the built-in Editor to create 3 files:
- A BATCH file which is the basic program.
- A data file for the initialization screen.
- A data file for the running PIN program.
(
NOTE: You can do this all in 1 file, but coding is easier with 3 - less use of the ‘echo’ command)
________
Here’s the source code:
Save as:
PINID.bat
(The 'pause' command automates the "Strike a key when ready..." prompt.)
echo off
type INIT.dat
pause
type PIN.dat
Save as:
INIT.dat
(Be sure to change the Right Margin to 250; and press ‘RETURN’ twice after the last N.)
(Please refer to Post #16 for additional spacing/formatting info.)
Save as:
PIN.dat
(Be sure to press ‘RETURN’ twice before the numbers start; and add a ‘RETURN’ after the last line.)
(Only the first line is screen accurate, the rest is random; just remember to follow the 1-2-1-2 pattern for character spacing.)
In the film, I believe you can hear clicks as the numerical program is running - I still haven't figured out how to add those. Closest I can remember is creating an 'echo ^G' command which makes the Portfolio beep rather than click.
I'd be grateful for any help here!
This isn't the most elegant code, but I don’t think there’s a random number generator in DIP DOS for looped code. :cry
Any advice here would be appreciated as well!

Once, you've created and saved those 3 files in the Editor (they must also be saved to the same root directory), exit out to the Command Prompt and type in 'PINID' - the file named 'PINID.bat' will automatically run.
That's it so far. Hope this helps.
