  system disks, and various software ( tell me what you
are looking for ).
 
        Software that  might be of interest to some :

        - Uniterm vt100 term program w/ xmodem/kermit
        - protocols and tektronic graphics emulation
        - Hippo C compiler
        - Degas , publishing/paint program
        - Asmpro ,a 68000 assembler.

 Got it sorted working on a Mega STe, it will give 3 or 4 bombs at the 1st read
 after cold boot, reset it and touch the space bar in the second boot then it
 would shows the message and the fly bounce out O and a digitized voice comes
 out then the loading of demo. Unfortunely the Color monitor I tried can't
 sync. with it so the screen just keep scrolling. Will try again with the
 monitor adjusted to see whether it works. And it won't boot from the 1040ST
 with TOS1.2 so probably it needs STE type machine.

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
What is involved in hooking up an HP Laserjet IIIP to my computer?  Are
there any features I would not be able to take advantage of?  What about
fonts?  Will the new GDOS work well with it?  I have Pagestream and
WordPerfect (which both have drivers for Laserjets), how well do these
work?  What about the options for the printer (i.e. toner cartridges, font
cards, memory upgrades, etc.)?
 
                                    Thanks in advance,
                                            Stephan A. Puga

        Oops, I left out one quetion.  Do these Mega-Demos use some sort
of video mode that I am unaware of or something.  I have to adjust my
Vertical-Hold knob on my Multi-Sync monitor when I run most demos.  This
is not a complaint! I am just curious if I am missing out on a special video
mode (I do a little Assembler dabbling myself).
 
Thanks In Advance!

The mode you're missing out on is known as 50 Hertz mode or PAL.  All the
great demos come from Europe where the sync standard is different.  While
some software hack will let you display a PAL mode program, the monitors
we have here in the US really aren't designed to use that mode, so you get
vertical rolling and/or other problems (like flickering).  A few demos I've
seen have a command to toggle between modes however.
