A/UX is a port of System V, release 3, with additions and changes demanded
by Apple.
 
TT Unix is a port of System V, release 4. Now, this doesn't mean that it
will be less buggy. However, the port was done by a company that
specialises in porting System V to Motorola processor based machines (among
other things).
 
They have years of experience at the game -- they know what they're doing.

So hold down the key that prevents the TT from attempting to boot from your
Unix disk and force it to start TOS instead. OK, so you can't run both at
once... but why would you want to?

Heh. While Bell Labs is impressive, having worked on a 3B2 is not exactly
something I'd brag about. I had the misfortune of using them for a few
months too, not an experience I'll soon repeat.

If it is a full Sys V R4 implementation, what else is there to say? SVR4
defines a binary interface, library interface, etc. etc. etc.. Either it's
compliant or it's not; if it was not compliant they couldn't call it SVR4.

Swapping is a technique used when one's virtual memory requirements exceed
the physical memory space. I've got 32Meg of RAM in a Sun-4 here, and I can
see that the swapper has only consumed about 6 CPU seconds in the past two
days. Unix is not necessarily I/O intensive...

Sounds reasonable to me, I wouldn't want to run X on a 640x480 display.
Dunno how PC-folks can put up with Windows-3.1415... on a regular VGA
either. At least the high-rez capability exists intrinsically, rather
than being a chancy add-on like it is for comparable machines. (PC clones,
mainly.)

There's a company called Cygnus that provides commercial support for the
GNU tools. This complaint is groundless.

Um... Yeah. Apple A/UX sucks. The Mac //fx had (has?) serious motherboard
design flaws, making its (lack-of) reliability rival that of the original
thin Macs. Not to mention the slowness of the //fx memory and I/O buses.
You carp about the TT's 16 MHz bus not being fast enough for an I/O
intensive Unix system. The //fx doesn't have DMA SCSI. The main RAM is
accessed with *9* wait states. No burst mode access to RAM. That nice 40 MHz
processor is being slowed to an effective 11.4 MHz due to memory latency.
(Now you know why so many 3rd party companies are making $$$ selling
puny little 64K cache cards for the Macs...) A //fx would make a laughable
Unix machine.

Actually, the advance word (from the Atari Unix folk) is that there is a
TOS taskmaster (emulator? runner? do-er?) getting polished up by some
folks in Germany.  Perhaps the middle of next year?
 
But, I have to agree with many of the arguments my thread started :-)
When Atari promises anything, you really have to take it with a grain of
salt, preferably from the rim of a tall margarita, but you have to admit
they build some really damned neat-o machines.  And, their
price/performance really is pretty good.  I saw their machine and was
terribly impressed with what I saw.  It's no speed demon, but with a
19inch monitor, 340M drive and 16M of RAM you're still under 6K!  I have
decided to go ahead and purchase the Sun, but if I wasn't connected to a
university (thus getting a HEFTY discount from the manufacturer) there
would be no choice: I'd get the Atari.
 
Oh, and to put in a word for GCC: I like it, a lot.  And it's free.  Hot
damn.

I don't think this will be a problem.  We just bought a 33MHz 80386, a very
nice, reasonably high performance platform.  While the processor runs at
33 MHz, the bus runs at 8.7 MHz - I think this is standard for PC-AT bus
architecture.  The TT's bus running at 16 MHz is twice as fast, ignoring the
fact that TT video is accessible by the CPU, whereas PC-AT video has to be
accessed over the bus (I know about fast RAM vs. video RAM, but it is still
more direct for a TT then for AT architecture).  Secondly, the ST/TT has never
been a slouch when it comes to disk performance, regardless of bus speed.  If
my 8MHz ST can approach 1 MB/sec with a middle-of-the-road SCSI drive, I'm
sure a 32/16MHz TT can do much better with a high-end Unix-y drive.

I believe many vendors are expecting customers to use GCC - Sun no longer
supports their 68K compiler, for instance.  There are companies around who
make a living by providing support for the GNU toolset.

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
Hello,
 
I will soon be buying a 1040STe with four megabytes of RAM, and I was
wondering if this would be suitable to run the gNU C software package.
The computer will have an AdSpeed STe in it, as well.  I have a 30
Megabyte hard drive, of which I use about 10 megs.  Would this be enough
to use the package?  I've heard that it is big, but I can't see the
package itself taking up 20 Megabytes of space on the HD.  I also use
Data Diet, with a compression rate of about 40-45% overall, so that might
ease the burden alot.  Also, where does one send away to get the package?
I saw an address once upon a time, but I can't remember it and don't know
if it is still valid.  I also remember that a person had to send nineteen
disks as well.  I *hope* they meant single sided...:)

 I think you will find that the problem that this monitor will not scan slow
enough to lock the colour modes. You need the grey scale equiv of a NEC 3d.

This is correct, bvut it does not mean that the AES doesn't multitask.
The AES uses a technique called "non-preemptive multitasking," which
simply means that it does not force "processes" to give up control of
the CPU.  This is the same technique used by Apple's Multifinder.  It
is not an appropriate technique for multiuser systems since one user
could choose to keep the CPU forever.  If applications are well-behaved,
non-preemptive multitasking looks the same as preemptive multitasking,
and the overhead can be significantly lower.

Sorry for the pedantry.  People should know that the AES desk accessory
scheme is still multitasking.  "Task switching" typically refers to
utilities that allow several "virtual machines" each of which is running
a program.  The user switches between these with some sort of hot-key.

Because Atari is a publicly traded company (you can buy Atari stock on the
American Stock Exchange), there are rules that mandate that the salaries of
these top executives be disclosed.  Atari itself publishes this information
in their annual report to comply with these rules.  So it's really no
violation of anyone's privacy--you can find this information easily and
it's publicly available.

Yes, but it'll be in French. I don't speak (or read) French, only English.
Any magazines in English, even American? I used to read ST World, but it
unfortunately died a death and was merged into ST User.
