HELP!
 
I am having a little problem.  My 1040 ST won't boot when my SF314
external disk drive is hooked up to the machine.  It won't boot at
all.  We switched cables, and it worked for a while, but now--lo and
behold...it has stopped.  What the HELL could be going on?  The
external drive is not that old.

In regards to my post about help finding a particular header file,
please disregard.  I discovered the necessary header file <document.h>
buried deep within the book that I am using at the moment.
 
Things would be MUCH easier if the authors had documented (preferably in
an index) extacly which functions/headers files/etc., can be found in
the text and which are found only in the Developers Kit.
 
Sorry for any wasted bandwidth.
 
Regards,

Could someone please post Gemini 1.1?  If not, where can it be found? GEnie?
What has been changed from version 1.0?  So many questions, so little time.

Okay, I'm back again with new problems.  This hard drive isn't more than
two weeks old, and has been behaving very erratically.  I already explained
about the failure in which it wouldn't respond until I rewrote the partition
sector, and then one of the files was corrupted.  That was yesterday.  Today,
it again wouldn't boot.  Checking the directory, I found that all the entries
were there, but garbled.  I looked at it with disk doctor, and found that
about every other byte in the directory sector had been scrambled.  Also,
the directory sector had been moved from #91 to #99.  I tried to fix that,
and then the HD stopped responding at all.  I rewrote the partition sector
again, and it basically got fixed, except that I had to reinstall ICDBOOT.SYS,
and I had two directory sectors: the original one at #91, and the scrambled
one at #99.  This is the second time in two days that things got weird, and
this time I didn't even do anything that could be a likely cause.  One clue:
I get "sense 20" error messages all the time.  (Once it said "msense 20.")
I know that Bill White has gotten these as well, and found them to be
harmless, but I wonder if they're related to the problem.  Any ideas, anyone?
I have a Seagate 250R, an Adaptec 4070, and the ICD host adaptor.  I use the
most recent version of the ICD software, and I have control.acc, starstrk.acc,
and trbocolr.acc installed, with settime.prg in the auto folder.  The
applications I use include Flash, 1st Word+, Opus, TeX with dvidsk, zoo.ttp,
and lately, disk doctor.  Thanks for any help!

Message-ID: <93:kruel@vax.rz.uni-wuerzburg.dbp.de>
 
Dear networkers,
 
   I know that this has come up before, but it hasn't been answered to the
group (as far as I can see from the archive).
   Has anybody some informations about an ETHERNET card for the ST ?
If so, I'd appreciate information about
 
 - where is it connected to (DMA, ROM port) ?
 - internet protocols available (telnet, ftp, rlogin) ?
 - which terminal emulations (vt200 etc.) ?
 - vendor and price
 - availability
 
If there is sufficient interest, I'll summarize the answers and post it to the
net.
 
   Thanks in advance,
                     Thomas.

I am looking for a few types of programs for an Atari 1040ST.  Here is a
list of a few that I need:
 
A GIF picture viewer
A Common Lisp compiler
A plain ascii file editor (possibly handling multiple files)
An ANSI C compiler (with all docs, and files included)
A program to unpack the files posted on COMP.BINARIES.ATARI.ST
 
If you have any of these files, please reply to me via mail, for I do not
read this newsfeed.  Thanks.
 
Also, try to include any notes on how to convert them back to normal
programs.
 
James

I support the idea of a separate news group.
This one is "comp.sys.atari.st".  How about "comp.sys.atari.st.mags".
Or "comp.mag.atari.st".
