Nope... Atari Corp. killed ANALOG magazine years ago, just like they
killed ANTIC and more recently START magazine.  They also killed
ROM magazine, and ST Applications.
 
About all you can get these days is Atari Interface and Current Notes,
unless you want to read the Atari "official" magazine, Atari Explorer.
 
Of course, if you want to read about what's going on in Europe, there
are several choices, some of which are even in English..!

Are you saying that those magazines are no longer around because
of Atari Corp.'s _direct_ actions, and not just because of low
readership, lack of advertising, or what-not?

I have CACHE050.PRG in my AUTO folder and found a problem with accessing
the floppy drive under Gulam. When I change the floppy, some of the
information from the old floppy is still in the cache. directory listings
are mostly correct, i.e. from the new floppy, but when I ask for the free
space (df a) I get the amount from the previous floppy. Does anybody know a
way around this. I.e. is there a way to flush the cache on a disk swap.
Ideally cache.prg should detect this automatically.

I wrote a program to do this a month or so ago. This wasn't its main
function, but it did it just fine. It was really to install applications
properly (something TOS 1.0 and 1.02 don't do...right). I could e-mail it
to anyone that wants it...

This is common if you are using the reset key.  I personally use Universal
Item Selector 3's built in cold boot (<ctrl><alt><left shift>-<del>), which
works fine in mono (but sometimes bombs when using the color monitor ?!?).
There is also a utility called sleep, and another called coldboot which
can be put on the boot floppy (in an auto folder) to allow you to turn on
both computer and hard disk at the same time.  You set sleepxx.prg with the
number of seconds to wait (replace the xx in the filename), then have it
execute coldboot.prg.  When it reboots (now that the hard disk is ready), it
will boot from the hard disk.
 
UIS3 is well worth the small cost.  It provides much more than just that hot
key!

Hello all,
I ftp'ed a new version of the dungeon game Omega to atari.archive
today. This new version was needed because the last version had
a serious bug, causing the game to crash quite often when loading
a saved game. This bug has been corrected in the new version so,
if you are playing this game, please switch to the new version!
If you don't have FTP but want to get a copy of the game archive
(261 Kb), mail me on biersma@dutikos.tudelft.nl.

Subject: TT Bus Architecture
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
I know much have been said about the TT-busarchitecture so I thougth I would
clear things out (hopefully). I am sorry I have to disappoint most of you,
but here comes the truth (atleast it is what I currently think the truth is).
As you probably know there are two types of memory in the TT, called ST-RAM
an TT-RAM. I will deal with the ST-RAM first. I will start with some facts:
 
The 68030 runs at 32MHz.
The bus runs in sync although the 68030 <-> ram interface runs in async..
The bus runs in the same speed as the ST.
Half (almost) of accesstime to the memory is taken by the videosystem.
The 68030 and the DMA-channels share the other half.
 
Note that the above statements concerns ST-RAM.
 
This means that the bus doesn't run on 16MHz. I am sorry to say this but the
truth is that it runs at 4MHz. The reasons this slow speed is used are:
 
Remain ST-compability - this means that you got to have the same bus speed
or a multiple of it.
If you double the speed to 8MHz you got to have memory that cycles at 125nS
and these are very expensive. Are you kiddin? I bougth some 100nS-SIMMs last
week and they were really cheap! I hear. But 100nS-SIMMs doesn't cycle at
100nS (it is their accesstime), they cycle at about 190nS. In fact there are
no SIMMs that cycle at 125nS. I won't write anymore about this as I guess it
is giong to be a debate on this (I hope).
 
One more comment before we go to the much more exiting TT-RAM. The ST-RAM
appears to be 64bit wide to the video-logic, that is the reason the TT-
resolutions are 4 times better than the ST-resolutions (disregarding o-scan).
 
I am not so sure about the TT-RAM so it is mostly going to be speculations.
The TT-RAM has nothing to do with the ST so there are no compability-strains.
The 68030 <-> TT-RAM interface uses something called burstmode. This means
that the 68030 fetches 16 bytes from memory in one burst. After the first
long word that takes 2 cycles the remaining 3 long words can be fetched in
one cycles each (remember I am not sure about this). But that means you need
a memory that cycles at 30nS. In a burst all the bytes are rigth after each
other. DRAMs are designed so that you first give them a row adress and then
a column adress. This takes time so most DRAM have a feature that lets you
give them the row and then just change the column. In this way you can get
a great cycling-speed, 100nS DRAMs cycles about 60nS! Which is two clock-
cycles meaning 16MHz bus-transfer! But bursting isn't happening all the time,
only when getting new instructions to 68030 if I have understood it correctly.
Otherwise it is going to cycle at 190nS meaning 4-5MHz. I hope that the TT
supports faster memory then 100nS, that is what the TT Hardware Referance said
(but that also said that the 68030 runs on 16MHz).
 
This is my first article on the news ever so I hope it will work out.
Please tell me if I am wrong on anything I have written here (I wanna know).
 
 
Thanks for the attention.

Well guy, As I said before there are too third party devices.
SCSI is a standard interface. All you need is a unix driver for these things and
 things such as CDroms, tape backup units etc will work.
You don't need to buy third party packages designed especially for the atari.
Just face it. The TT IS a good choice if you want unix.
 
However it might be a bad choice if you want to have local support to take
your machine to and ask questions.
Although my experience with most dealers is they don't know anything. They just
 sell their machines. (VERY few dealers are exceptions to the rule.)

No they haven't.. Where you been? They are just repackaging a unit made by
 someone else. I saw a message a while back on GEnie stating that the software
 drivers are done finally and will be available soon. With these drivers any of
 MANY SCSI CD-ROMs are available for use. Kinda like the HD utils 5.0. Which now
 can be used by any scsi host adapter that is compatible. I am not sure of the
 unit they are repackaging but I think its a Sony mech. The company they were
 dealing with before drug their feet. Realise
 
 
 
 
 
 
 that simular to the Lynx and Portfolio, Atari did not design the new CD-ROMS.
 They are just repackaging a unit made by someone else. But the software is done
 that will allow you to run ANY SCSI CD-ROM player that is compatible with some
 standard. (I think it was a sony standard.) Anyhow the CD-ROMS are available or
 will be as soon as the software is shipped out.

Atari has NOT said "Not now". All that I have seen is that the roms will be
 available shortly but if you want to upgrade an older machine with ROMS to
 small then thats your problem to get them to work. A german board will allow
 the 2.06 upgrade. Since its not an official Atari product they are not willing
 to say that the ST's are upgradeable to 2.06. All the newer Ste's should have
 2.06 as well as the TT's having 3.06.
By mid 1992 when the Atari Unix should be ready (Just a guess here....)
there should be LOTS of third party upgrade paths that should make the
 definition of a full blown TT very hard to describe. Atari has been known to
 sell upgrades for outrageous prices. Thats what third parties are for.
 
BTW, whats your problem?
You are starting to sound as bad as Bob Retelle. Are you related to him or
 something?

Richard, you're becoming rather tiresome.
 
If you read this newsgroup, you know that Atari ST users have work to do: in
DTP, in MIDI, and now in the UNIX world.  Apparently, though, all you've
figured out how to do with your computer is indulge in some worldwide
electronic whining.
 
We've tolerated your ignorant observations and downright LIES (As in TT Unix
not working with third-party peripherals -- ever heard of SCSI, Rich?) for
long enough, and you've been shown to be nothing more than a bandwidth waster
with few facts or sense.  The right thing for you to do would be to apologize
for wasting our time, and leave.
 
If you don't own an ST/TT, why do you read this group?  This is not comp.sys.
amiga.advocacy.  We don't enjoy your insecurity.  Take your "my computer is
better" juvenalia to a group that will be impressed by it.

sell it and take a hike or cease your snivelling hypocracy.

This is actually a IBM PC question, but with ST related issues, so
sorry about this.
I have UnixWindows for the ST, but is it also available for the PC?
(like for Win 3.0? or OS/2?).  I know it was originally made for
the MAC, but later for the ATARI STs.  I sold my monochrome for
the ST and need to use this program, so anyone know of the program
for the PC?
 
                                Thanks,
                                Jeff

  Actually, Uniterm 2.0e probably has the best VT100 emulation available.
Also, the demo program ZCTERM works quite well as well...

I use STZIP v 0.9 without any problems.
