Subject: 1040 ST system for sale
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
        Hi there.  I recently defected to the PC world, and would like to
free up some desk space by selling my ST system.  It includes:
 
        1040 ST w/1 Meg RAM and DS/DD drive and mouse
        Color and BW monitors
        LOTS of games software, including:
 
        Alternate Reality - City
        Arcticfox
        Arkanoid I
        Arkanoid II
        Autoduel
        Battlezone
        Blasteroids
        Breach I
        Breach II
        Captain Blood
        Championship Wrestling
        Chessmaster 2000
        Death Sword
        Defender of the Crown
        Empire
        Gauntlet
        Gauntlet II
        Hacker II
        Heroes of the Lance
        Hostage
        Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
        Mercenary

        Oids
        Populous
        Road Runner
        Silent Service
        Star Quake
        Star Trek - Rebel Universe
        Super Hang-On
        Time Bandits
        Warlock
        Xenon
        and many more that have temporarily slipped my mind.
 
        Also some 'serious' software:
 
        Laser C compiler
        Cyber Paint
        Tempus II text editor
        Flash!
        Shadow
 
        and also several ST programming books and LOTS of STart magazines,
most with the companion disk, and some public-domain stuff such as several
good games, Degas and Neo art files, BBS numbers, etc.
 
        Whew!  Didn't realize that I had so much.  As for the price:  I
would like to get around $700, but if you have a reasonable offer, please
talk to me.  Also, if you want individual pieces, make me an offer, but I
have to give priority to package deals.
 
Waiting for inquiries,
 
John Gordon

I like my ST, it's the best choice for the things I want to do. Others may
have different opinions, but I'm not really interested in reading about

With the standard MMU, it's a 4 MB limit. With a more intelligent memory
expansion card, you can stuuf 12 MB of RAM into a standard Mega ST.

I think Allan Pratt mentioned that the TT's slow RAM is limited to 10 MB or
something like that. Am I wrong?

Every program that draws on the screen using OS functions (i.e. virtually
every program except some games) will profit from blitter speed because
TOS uses the blitter to speed up the output.

You're right to suppose that there are 020 and 030 cards for the ST 8-)
I haven't seen a 040 board yet.

Please try to understand that it's a different job to make a computer run
with 0 waitstates that has a 8 MHz 68000 than to do this feat with a
32 MHz 68030 that uses burst mode to access RAM. Giving us 0 waitstates
on the standard ST was an excellent hack from Atari, pushing the design
to its limits. Remember the Amiga design didn't _quite_ manage this?
Changing the design for the much faster TT is no sign of surrender as
you would like to put it - just a architectural necessity.

Hi,
There are some typo's in the vdiinqr3.s module (well src from v1.2 but they
seem to have been carried over into v1.5). They relate to the lables:
in vqt_width the leading '_' is missing in the lable.
in vqt_fontinfo a '_' has crept in, lable reads _v_qt_fontinfo.
 
I don't have MadMac and am not up on 68000 assembler so it will be a week
or so before I have corrected the library. If no one else has posted a fix
before then I will.
Regards
Gareth J.Baker

this from the latest znet:
 
 
 CODEHEAD ED:
 
 Included as freeware with CodeHead Utilities is CodeHead's special desk
 accessory version of MicroEMACS, the popular progammer's text editor.
 At CodeHead Software, we've been using CodeHead ED for years.  Now you
 too can access the power of EMACS as a desk accessory.  CodeHead ED uses
 the GEM file selector for loading and saving files and has been
 optimized in many other areas to help make your text editing tasks as
 easy as possible.  You can bind commands to different key combinations
 to customize it to your own preferences, and the powerful EMACS command
 language lets you create macros and command routines to do extremely
 complex tasks.
 
I assume that freeware means freely distributable
        does anyone have this, and could they post it or send me a copy?

Have you in installed TOS 1.4, or even better the Patched version

There is a bug in tos 1.4 that will stop rts/cts flow control.

Subject: Panther
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
The Panther project is supposely now dead.
 
The Panther was originally going to be a 16-bit hot shot video game system
to knock the Super NES and the rest of them out of the water early next year.
 
The problem was the time.
 
By the time Atari released the Panther, the Super NES, Genesis, and Turbo-16
would have most of the market.
 
Even with a little better games, it is the same old story with the Nintendo,
Sega Master, and 7800.
 
Atari has decided to leap frog them all and release a 32-bit video game
system instead.  Some even say Atari will release a 24-bit as well.
 
But the president of Atari Corp.'s Entertainment Division stated that the
32-bit will indeed be a reality early next year.  He stated it in one of the
video game publications when answering a reader's letter.
 
I wonder what the price would be on that...
 
 
P.S. - if someone could inform AtariUser of this, it would be appreciated!
They should really call the Atari Entertainment Division to make sure but
I believe these are facts.

I have Publishing Partner (a vintage copy -- did they ever make an
upgrade?).  Anyways, I wanna use it with my SG10.  The readme files
says to set the printer to IBM mode and use the MX80 driver.  I tried
this.  I tried the FX80 driver.  I tried the Gemini driver with the
SG10 in Star mode.  It prints "something" out in any of these modes.
Unfortunately only the largest of letters seem to print out correctly.
 
For example: on the example (tutorial) document the title "Publishing
Partner" prints out ok in all of the above meantioned modes.  I think
the point size is about 
all prints out very fragmented.
 
It is an old version of the program that was sold to me with my ST.  I
had kinda always told myself I would try it out "real soon now".  It
looks to be a pretty good rudimentary page layout program.  Is it
still used much?  SoftLogik Corp. still around?

Well the problem comes about that someone was posting an informative message
that Atari users took as a personal attack (insecurity?) and they responded
with tons of lies/misconceptions/propoganda/falsities about the Amiga.  now,
no self respecting Amigan is going to let other people lie about his favorite
computer, thus we get Amigan's trying to correct the mis-information and it's
construed as a Computer war.  When in reality, it's just some nice Amiga
people trying to prevent the spread of false information.  If you don't want
to read about it, then send mail to the people who are spreading the false
information, and most of the Amiga posts will stop.

        Wow, someone help this guy, he's about to drown in his own
bullshit.
 
        Yeah.  Right.  Nice Amiga People.  Why would anyone with an Amiga
EVER read this newsgroup.  It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.  I don't even
know what the comp.sys.amiga.* newsgroups look like.  They could come up
with spinning colors and talking clowns!  I wouldn't know!  And sure as
hell don't care.
 
        The Crusading Amigans, out to make the world safe for Commodore.
 
(Please, I have nothing against Amiga users in general, just the ones
who say stuff like the above quote, and really believe it...........)
