Subject: I need help! Bad memory ....
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
 My ST started flaking out on me just recently.  After warming up, for
1/2 hour to 15 min., it would bomb out or become a nasty blob of random
speckles.  So I used a memory checker on my memory and it is an intermittant
problem with the high-bank bit 2:  it expected A5A5 and got A7A5, or it
expected E4BC and it got E6BC.  Anyway, I want to desolder the bad 256k chip,
but I don't know which of the 16 it is.  I have an original 520ST with RF
modulator, and the board is Revision B.  The addresses that it failed at were
0007FF74 to around 0007FD8C.  At present I only have 512k of memory.
 
 Please, if anyone can tell me the correct chip, and maybe a chart for
future reference, PLEASE EMAIL ME!  I think I'll go nuts without my ST!
 
 Thank you all MUCH in advance!

I called a major mail order house today(March 22) with the
intention of ordering LDW Power. I was told that version
2 was now out and the price had gone from 84 to 129$. This
would suggest that some major changes have been made. I
decided to hold off purchasing until I had a bit more info.
Can anyone inform me as to what these changes are and
how they relate to the price increase. Thanks

Actually, the Mega ST computers have always had a built in expansion bus.  The
 new Mega STE and TT computers have a half-height Euro-card 3U VME bus.  There
 are many expansion boxes available that will provide for 6-12 slots and these
 plug into the backplane of these Atari VME bus machines.  The VME bus in the
 Mega STE and TT could very well be used for the video toaster.

  I knew that already (heck, there ain't a piece of non-proprietary Lynx
information I _don't_ know). However, there doesn't exist a 144-player
Lynx game yet, so I don't want to count it so high so far.
 
  (My sources say the ComLynx LAN has no upper limit -- the only limitations
are in the software. The upcoming CHCEKERED FLAG auto racing game is supposed
to support 1-6 players, which breaks the powers-of-two trend currently
existing)

  $300 now. NEC announced a price hike a few weeks back. When the TE's return
(any day now?), it will cost more. Don't matter to me, I don't like the
TurboGraphix-16 games anyway.

Stops picture rolling? Can it stop the rolling caused by trying to view

I've been using the TDI Modula-2 compiler for the Atari ST for several
years.  But I understand they're belly up now.  Has anybody taken over
TDI's assets (and responsibilities such as updates / consultation)?  Is
there any decent Modula-2 vendor for the ST, even if not supporting the old
TDI compiler and library?  That is, providing a library with complete AES,
VDI, GEMDOS, BIOS, LineA and XBIOS interfaces?
 
Are there Oberon vendors for Atari ST?
 
Thanks in advance for any information

yes, i agree in a perfect world you should never have to think about
the tools you are using. they should just automagically work. but in the
real world there are always trade-offs and restrictions. you have to
draw the line somewhere and make some assumptions, ALWAYS based on cost/
benefit (here cost can be development $$$ or time, generally the same
thing). general purpose computers are still not for everyone. it would
be nice to be able to walk into a room and say "computer: balance my
checkbook, then tell me if i am in trouble". right now, we have to deal
with files and less easy to use user interfaces. in 20 years we won't.
but we'll have other problems.
 
i have not missed the point. doing this and supplying an install program
(can even be inside the program) can patch these locations and the user
need only do it once. a well written program will manage this for the user.
the only assumptuion made is that users understand what folders are and that
they differ from files. and i don't see why it would be a problem to have
one folder per application either. less sophisticated users are not
going to have 2000 applications. more like 5 to 10. when they get to
20-30 applications, they are more sophisticated and you can expect them
to know more and ask more of them. i know you are really talking about
where to put things for each program. that means something like you
said: put all gem binaries in one place, put all rsc in one place, put
all readme/docs in one place. this may mean changing some file names
(there may be 150 README files). at the same time the true novice may
not know that app.prg is the program (.prg is a "standard" name) and
that gem programs generally have things called resources, .rsc (note
for nitpickers: i know there are lots of programs with imbedded resources
and in most cases, not all, this should be more common practice).
he only knows what s/he is told. it also means that the novice will have
to know more than you may think, organizational things. letting a
program do its thing as if it were the only program the user runs is
not necessarily bad, since there are users who only do word processing
or only play games or only DTP. there is a lot of bad software out
there. at the same time you really can't blame developers on the ST
for being sloppy. some stuff is ported from other platforms. and the
future of the ST is always debatable.
 
your proposal also means getting lots of developers
and perhaps atari behind this. i would not hold my breath. i don't think
there is a painless solution. i think your ideas are good, but i don't
think inertia can be overcome here. it appears that gem applications are
more like islands. this is not the case with unix where pipes and other
artifacts insure that applications work and play well with each other.
 
look, if i am meeting resistance to something as innocuous as "-help"
which is totally invisible, what makes you think 100's of developers
are going to adopt your scheme, no matter how reasonable/rational it is?
and for the record, i think it IS reasonable/rational. but the real issue
is promulgating a standard, not the technical details associated with it.
like most human endeavors, it is political. you have to deal with that
as well, considering what is the impact with and without said standard.
 
i did't realize how verbose i can get! sorry...

As others have commented, debug stuff doesn't belong in a released product,
help stuff belongs in a separate "man page" if you really want to be Unix-like,
and "what" or "ident" can report version and change history information.

It (or else XPG2 and XPG3) does say something about your choice of options:
they are unacceptable.  They bless "getopt" as the means of parsing arguments.
This means "-debug" should be interpreted as "-d -e -b -u -g" if
any (or all?) of "-e", "-b", "-u" and "-g" are defined as options, or else it
could be interpreted as "-d ebug", where "ebug" is an argument to "-d", and
optional arguments are forbidden (ie, either an option takes an argument or it
doesn't).  In general, multi-character options beginning with "-" are frowned
upon.  Instead, use something like
 
        -A,debug
        -A,help
        ...
 
or
 
        +debug
        +help
        ...

        The CeBIT article came from a local BBS.  The specs on the ST Pad
and ST Book came from Atari's BBS here in Markham.  They even set up a
special area for these computers on the BBS already.

5 ports, 4 UARTs. Two are 68901, two are Zilog 8530. One of the 8530s
is connected to both a serial port and the "LAN" port, configurable for
Localtalk speed (230kbps). Two 68901s are used in the TT as opposed to
the single 68901 in STs. I guess they needed another to handle interrupt
vectoring for all the new devices...
(Oops. Is it really 8350? Whatever. The Zilog chip, same one as used in
Mac and Sun.)

Correct.

        Yup, the LAN (basically an Appletalk DIN) shares a uart with one of the
RS232 ports, so you can't use them at the same time (not that I can think of
how I _could_ use them all, let alone more than one serial port, unless I plan
on running a multi-line BBS - don't I wish:).  Unfortunately
I don't have the specs so I can't tell you what uart drives the ports.

Subject: What's at CeBIT?
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
        When is the CeBIT computer show?  Anyone heard any news of what is
over there from Atari?
 
        Last weekend I posted a few articles on some new Atari products,
the ST Book and the ST Pad.  I haven't seen anyone make any comments on
these, and I didn't receive any news here during the weekend, so I wonder
if these articles got out to the world.
 
        Should I repost or is this old hat and I just poked my head out
of the cave?
