Subject: 1.44M upgrading (help)
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
Well, as you may have guessed, I am trying to get a 1.44m drive
working in my ST (1040STf).  Anyways, my first bummer was that I found
I had the old WD1772 IC, so I purchased a 02-02 version.  I came home
and desoldered the old 1772 and then soldered in a socket.  I put it
all back together (plugged the old 1772 in) and everthing still
worked... So far so good.  I then tested the new 1772.  It works ok...
Now for the good (bad) stuff...
 
The 1.44M upgrade document says to run 16Mhz to the 1772 pin#18 from
pin #39 of the video shifter (U31).  So I installed the new 1772 in
the socket with pin #18 bent up.  I used a small set of test clips to
connect pin #39 of the shifter to the bent up pin.  Well, everything
booted up fine still (from harddrive).  All accesses to the floppy
drive failed now though.  So I moved on to the next step.  The docs
said to set the step-rate to 6ms (vs. normal 3) to offset the doubled
clock speed.  I have TOS 1.0.  The docs said to set the clock rate
from Gulam like so: 'pokew a08 3' for 3ms and 'pokew a08 0' for 6ms.
This seems kinda weird, like it would be more intuitive to do store a
6 for 6ms...  Anyways I stored the 0 at a08 and then ran the IBMFMT.PRG
(of Y.Tsuji) as suggested in the docs.  It just locked up when it
tried to format the disk.
 
My questions:  Am I doing anything obiously wrong? Have I set the step
rate correctly?  Are the pin numbers correct?  Is there another place
I can pick up the 16Mhz?  Should I go with a 16MHz osc (uhg)? Is there
a better way to test this?
 
Oh yah, I'm usng the TEAC 235HF drive (which works beautifully as a 720K).
Do I need to set the straps differently for 1.44M operation?
 
After I determine that I can get this to work at all, I plan to setup
one of the more complete HD circuits, probably using a '157 and the
HD line from the drive to select and appropriate clock rate...
 
Thanks...

There are ways to avoid viruses, bootblock viruses are the least of ones worrys
considering all the smarter viruses.  Some bootblock generators are virus
 hunter/killers.  The chip is a drive controller, its just in a custom chip that
also happens have in it the sound DMA, D/A converters and so on.
 
 
There file format is very Slow and there machine runs some 30% slower
 
Can't quarrel with you on that, AmigaDos is slower than ST/IBM format, no
question about that.

Speed is comparable, and much faster if there is heavy use of graphics & sound
Video is handled by the video chips, not the CPU, RAM refresh is handled by them
 as well.  The CPU has better things to do than 'blit' blocks on a screen.
 
I know I had one, all it was good for was Games.?

The ST flickers now, with the new 640 x 800 & 320 x 400 hacks available for it.
 
BTW:  I own an IBM, used to have an Amiga but they haven't upgraded their
      graphics enough for my tastes so out it went...

The older ST Roms don't work with a 68010 because of some problems with how it
 calls routines (using traps instead of simple JSRs), and the 68010 has a
 different stack frame which mucks it up.  On the Amiga you can do 16Mhz because
 there  conveniently is a 28Mhz clock you can pull and divide down to 14.32Mhz.
 Don't know if there is a tappable  16Mhz clock on the ST somewhere however.

I'd agree, if it wasn't that both IBM and Apple have a big stake in nothing
coming directly out of this agreement.  IBM wants to be sure Apple doesn't
put  them through endless lawsuits when they move into GUIs.  Apple wants
to be able to get into more offices.  But neither one wants to develop a
product that the other one has something VERY compatible with.  And by the
time anything comes of the cooperation, we'll be into another generation of
machines, at least.
 
I still say Atari has the machines on the shelf to make itself a future.  They
NEED to grind them out in big numbers, and at a decent price.  Do that, and
everything else gets better.  Don't do that, things get worse.  What Apple
and IBM do a couple years down the road is a problem to look at later.

First of all, I must say that this is one heck of a sequencer.  I would really
like to get a hold of these pseudo-geniuses to congratulate them and also ask
a few questions.  It doesn't seem that they have an internet address that I
could get a hold of them at, so if anyone knows who these people are and how
I could get a hold of them it would be extremely appreciated.
 
I noticed that they have 4 places that you can get a hold of them at:
 by mail, (to Switzerland, and I am in Canada);
 or through one of the following (all of which I don't have access to, I don't
    think):

the Problems seems,that your HDDriver just links disks while getting started
with booting. But run the driver again(if it allows doubled installed drivers)
In the case the Driver won't allow 2 of his kind to work, use a compatible,
but differnet on, when the second drive is ready. This should work..

you should assume that you both have Mega STe's which are broken in the
same way.

No, like it or get it fixed.  Your Mega STe is BROKEN and should be FIXED.
Take it or send it back to your dealer and have it replaced or fixed.  Mega
STe's are NOT supposed to be this way.

        They did make an appearance .... way down at the end of the credits in
the "Thanks to" section that listed just about everyone in the phone book.  But
I am surprised you didn't see them as they were at the top of the Alphabetical
listing...
        BTW, you're right, they didn't show the Fuji, but the BRIEF pan down to
the lable was just enough, and went into focus enough (for about 1/2 sec) to
show the label.  They must not have paid the movie makers much because Subway
Sandwiches had a good 30 sec. spot during the time the cops were telling
Sara Connor (Linda Hamilton) in the Loony bin that someone had taken John and
killed the foster parents.  Makes you wonder what size of "contributions" they
make to the movie producers for this kind of stuff.

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
I'm about to emabark on the fun project of setting up a homebrew
harddrive system for my ST (SyQuest 44).  Anyways, lots of folks have
suggested the ICD Advantage adapters.  ICD's seem to be reliable, have
good tech support and very good software.  Supra adapters can be
gotten for less though.  The Supra adapters have everything the ICD
has as far as basic features.  Both have clocks.  Are the ICD adapters
worth the extra money.  Should I avoid Supra?  I haven't heard anything
good or bad about the Supra controllers.  BTW, I'm going by what I have
seen in my new BEST Electronics catalog:
 
   ICD Advantage w/clock --- $105.95
   "The New" Supra w/clock - $ 77.00
 
Both seem to come with software, cables, etc.  Anybody know what the
significance of "The New" is above.  Was there an "old" Supra adapter?
Can anybody comment on Supra's support, reliability?  How about will
a Supra work with a SyQuest (obviously very important).

I think it's there somewhere, but it's easier to answer this than find
it myself and tell you where to look.
 
One of the previously-unused longwords in the program header has been
assigned a meaning as of TOS 1.4.  The least significant bit of this
longword is a flag which, when set, says "don't bother to clear the whole
TPA, just my declared BSS."  The next-least significant bit declares that
the program may be loaded into alternative RAM (that is, non-ST RAM) and
the next bit declares that alternative RAM is eligible to satisfy Malloc
calls.  The high byte of the longword has another meaning (too arcane to go
into here) and the other bits are reserved.
 
This longword is at offset $16 from the start of the program file. Thus,
the program header looks like this:
 
    struct prg_header {
        short magic;                        /* always $601a */
        long tsize, dsize, bsize, ssize;    /* segment sizes */
        long unused;                        /* unused */
        long prgflags;                      /* described above */
        short absflag;                      /* if nonzero then no fixups */
    }
 
I think program appeared recently in c.[sb].a.st which lets you set the
bits in prgflags.

        Yes, I think that fast Post. Printers CAN keep up, if not surpass,
appletalk speeds (max 250k bps).  The reason a LWIISC prints as slow as
say the IIntx (which I doubt but I shall hold my tounge as other conditions may
be present to cause the IIntx to slow down) is that the IISC uses a  68k
processor while the IIntx uses a 68020 (but uses appletalk).  The IISC
doesn't have the speed to take better advantage of the SCSI connection.  The
new laser printers that will be released October use 25MHz '030 and ethernet
connectable - those should be pushing the limit of the laser-printing speeds!
        Does the Atari laser printers use anykind of CPU for image fetching?
Also, is the image bit for bit what is printed?  If so, why is it so hard to
make it postscript-usable?

Amusingly, the NeXT printer is very reminiscent of the the Atari Lazer
printer.  It uses the Cube's display Postscript to image a page at 300
or 400 dpi and then spews it out though a fast connection to the Laser
to print.  Exactly what an ST does when using Ultra Script.

Subject: What is GDOS?
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
Ive seen many references to GDOS, on here, and in manuals, and my
question is simple: what is it?
 
Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understood in various
manuals, GDOS should have been included with my 520ST. Of course,
having purchased mine used, I may not have gotten everything. I
only got one diskette, labled USA Language disk, with VT52
emulator, and Control Panel, and Basic... Where would I get
GDOS from?
 
Thanx

I received XCONTROL.ARC from Terminator, and at first got a comlete
system hangup. After gradually adding .xpc files to the directory xpc, I
found that the problem was the maccel file. Is it my 1040ste with tos
1.6?
