In some benchmarks I ran on my 25 MHz 68030 based machine, it was slightly
ahead of the 33 MHz 80386 DX in both dhrystones and MIPS.
The same goes for a 25 MHz 68040 and a 33 MHz 80486...

I want to make this as short as possible, but I need to clear the air.
 
I bought (with cash) a game from someone through the net. He sent me
the disks and manual. Someone thought I ftp'd (or other) it, creating
an illegal copy.
 
We then started a 3-ring circus of accusations/misunderstandings.
 
We have all reconciled our differences ( I hope). I'm happy. I got the
game working. He has my check. The other guy (remember there were 3 of us)
apologized.
 
Moral of story: People make mistakes.
Lessons learned: People are human.
 
We now get back to regular programming.

This is a valid point.  There is a new version in the works that has a number
of improvements (totally new shell, previewer in a GEM window etc) that I'm
currently beta-testing.  I'll ask Christoph to change his numbering scheme
before the release of this new version.

To set the SX212 to auto-answer mode, you have to set S-register #1 to
the number of rings you want it to pick up on (so ATS1=2, should do it).
 
I'm 99% sure on it being register 1, but I could be wrong--it *IS* an
s-register, though, so if S1 doesn't work, try some others.

I recently acquired a copy of Mark Williams C version 3.06.  I have scoured
the manual to find out how to include in-line assembly code in the C source
program, but cannot find any references to it.
 
Am I somehow missing the part of the manual that discusses it, or does the
compiler not support in-line assembler?  If you know how to do it or know
that it isn't possible, I would appreciate hearing either way.  Apologies
if I have somehow missed the obvious.

Previously, everyone had the option of paying by the call.  So that *no one*
who made few calls had to subsidize those who made many.  The flat rate was a
simple way for people who made a lot of calls to pay.  $5.50/month was enough to
cover all the calls by all of these people.  The move to charging for each call,
then, was in the interest of increases revenues--it was not some great
 liberator.
 
When combined with the other under-regulated policies of the phone company, it
 is
infuriating.  What other company do you know of that can charge you $65.00 just
to start doing business with them?  Only an under-regulated monopoly could ever
 try
such a thing.

You should consider to rewrite it or at least modify it.  I have looked over
Paul's code during the weekend and found a number of things that should be
changed.  No offense to Paul is intended, I'm happy to have his code to look
at and learn from it.
 
Unfortunately, the tar and driver work ONLY for Archive streamers in QIC24
mode.  I couldn't get it to work with my Wangtek 5150 ES at all.  At first
I thought it would be enough to modify the resident driver, but there are
device-dependent parts in the C code of the tar utility as well.
 
I have not tried to compile the tar source for lack of time (and also since
I don't have Mark Williams C -- I guess some changes for Turbo C are needed)
so I can't tell you if it will work at all but I'm confident I'll get some-
thing to work after all :-).
 
Another thing bothers me: the driver is currently hooked into the BIOS trap,
thus creating extra overhead for every BIOS call the system or a user program
makes.  I believe this is A Bad Thing. (Hello Allan P :-)
 
Nowadays there are more ways to make a driver resident than a BIOS extension.
I'm currently trying to decide between (a) using another trap (say, #6) for
the interface, and (b) not using any trap but a function jump table pointed
to by a cookie.
 
Method (a) would allow us to use the same mechanism as BIOS and GEMDOS calls,
but would require some housekeeping to check if the trap was in use etc.
Method (b) makes the tape function look like part of the user program, thus
one could pass parameters in registers etc.  So I'm leaning towards (b) right
now.
 
What do people think?  I like the idea of a modular driver that several tools
(like tar, mt, cpio, dd etc) could use without having to cram all the SCSI I/O
stuff into each binary.  If we do it right lots of wheel-reinventing might
be avoided.
 
Let's agree on a standard and I'll implement it for Wangtek streamers.
I've set Followup to comp.sys.atari.st.tech since I believe it's a technical
topic.

If you're running with Minix partitions under MiNT, than UNIXMODE
just gets in the way. You have to use some special options to turn it
off -- MiNT users in such a situation will probably want to set
UNIXMODE to "/cu". MiNT already has real symbolic and hard links on
Minix partitions and on drive U:, and supports long case-sensitive
file names -- hence the "c" (turn off case mapping) and "u" (don't
try to stuff file names into 8.3 format).
 
(Actually, MiNT users will probably want to forgo the tos port of
bash and the file utilities entirely; Dave Gymer has ported bash 1.10
to MiNT (it will support MiNT job control and running background
processes) and I ported the file utilities (which support MiNT 0.9's
link(), symlink(), chmod(), chown(), chgrp(), and stat() calls).
The only advantage of UNIXMODE right now is that it works on plain
TOS disks; the disadvantage is that it doesn't do links properly
on Minix or other kinds of disks (e.g. MiNT's drive U:) and it won't
work with, say, a UNIXMODE MiNT file system for TOS disks.)
 
> Note that programs compiled with

True. That was deliberate -- as I pointed out above, UNIXMODE just
gets in the way of the features in the MiNT kernel.
 
Actually, I rather think that UNIXMODE was the invention of a complete
idiot (I can say that, since I'm only insulting myself :-) and an
idea whose time has passed. I really, really wish that I hadn't
invented it, or at least that I had made the default to be "absolutely
no translation" instead of "mangle all the file names into upper case
and truncate them to 8.3".
 
The proper place for symbolic links or for special file name processing
is in the kernel. I hear that Edgar Roeder has written a UNIXMODE trap#1
handler -- that's a good idea. And, of course, MiNT is in some sense the
ultimate UNIXMODE trap#1 handler, except that I haven't gotten around
to writing the UNIXMODE file system yet (there isn't much incentive for
me, since I have several nice big Minix partitions). In principle,
it shouldn't be hard, and it won't require a new version of MiNT since
file systems are now loaded by MiNT at bootup time.
 
That's one reason that I recommend using the MiNT libraries for programs
now instead of the gcc libraries. The only filename translation that
the MiNT lib. does is translating / to \ and vice-versa, and omitting
the drive letter from getcwd() when it's done on drive U:. Everything
else is left up to the kernel -- so if Atari ever decides to implement
a nifty new case-preserving file system with long file names, its
hands aren't tied (and even if Atari doesn't, Stephen Henson already has,
in the form of minix.xfs for MiNT).
 
Sorry for the long and somewhat rambling nature of this post. I hope also
that it's clear that I lay the blame for the misfeatures of UNIXMODE
on my own shoulders entirely, and I'm not trying to flame you or anyone
else who chooses to use UNIXMODE; it is useful under (the present version
of) TOS, but I generally think it was implemented in the wrong way.

I too have been unable to up/download from Rochester Institute of Technology's

there is some Atari-VAX interface problem when it comes to ZMODEM. I've found
 that Kermit works fine, but is too slow to attempt downloading anything large.
 Does anyone else have this problem with ZMODEM and VAX?

GNU is currently distributing LESS as it will probably be the file
pager used with the GNU operating system.  So, you can get LESS at
most sites that distribute GNU software, including prep.ai.mit.edu.
I believe they are distributing it but not currently doing any work on
it.

them.

I have a 1772 in my ST which can do 1.44m (actually I have a 1.2 MB 5 1/4
drive connected to my ST). The only thing you have to do is to double the
clock rate for your 1772. The problem is, that not all of them can handle
with the double clock rate, the first I had couldn't after I exchanged it,
the new one could. As I have heard, usually 1772-02-02 can handle with the
double clock rate, the one I have now is of that type.

When one performs such a modification, does s/he lose the ability to do 720K
 format?
If so, what is the effect on emulators such as GCR or IBMulators?

Subject: Wordwriter ST / SLM 804 problems
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
I am trying to use my SLM804 in Diablo630 emulation mode
on Wordwriter ST on a Mega2 system.  After running Atari's
Diablo emulation, and loading the Diablo630.cfg (in
wordwriter), I can only print the first page correctly.
 
All subsequent pages contain overstrike lines (ie: three
lines are printed on top of each other), and stray characters.
Any and all help would be much appreciated...
