Subject: Atari 1040STF and SC1224 for sale
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
    I have a stock 1040STF (TOS 1.0 in ROM, 1 Mb memory, 8 Mhz 68000,
internal DSDD 3 1/2" drive, serial, parallel, DMA, Midi, mouse) that I'd
like to get $200+S&H for.
 
    I also have a SC1224 color monitor (original JVC, crisp&bright,
better picture than modern SC1224s).  It handles 50Hz just fine (usually
used when running demos or European games).  I'd like $200+S&H for it.
 
I'll sell the pair for $365+S&H.

Yes, it's true that most monitors don't have speakers.  The TT has a
speaker built in.  It also has stereo output jacks on the back so you can
hook it up to an amplifier and speakers, and you can turn off the internal
speaker if you want.  The idea is that the internal speaker can be used for
normal stuff like beeps and bells, but for high-quality digitized sound
you're likely to want to use the stereo outputs.  The digital sound always
goes to the stereo output jacks; you can control whether the PSG sound
(clicks and beeps) also goes there.

        With all this discussion about Box corners instead of BoB, I thought
Id ask a question that has been on my mind for a little while. Does anyone
know where an I?M PC compat. system font (FED or 8Bit format) can be obtained.
I would like to fool uniterm into using this so that I can use all those
braindead FIDO BBS'S that insist that if you have ANSI stuff you also have an
IB (who?) character set :-(. If this hasn't been done then I guess I will
have to do it myself (sigh).
 
Speaking of fonts:- I am still looking for some PD HPLJ ones, HP want
megabucks.

Subject: Mac hard drive w/ GCR
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
For GCR users: remember how Dave Small mentioned how he moved
his hard drive between his Mac II and his GCR? I have always
wanted to do that, to use the same drive on a Mac II at work
and on the Spectre at home, but never found out exactly what
to do. Well, I've just found out! It is simplicity itself! IF
you have an ICD FAST drive, all you would need is a 50 pin
SCSI connecter and a REAL Mac drive, such as the Quantum 105
meg selling for under $400 now. Plug the Mac drive in the FAST
drive and go! It has both a Atari daisey chain connector as
well as a standard 50 pin SCSI connector on the back. Just
remember to choose the extra DEVICE when you boot up Spectre.
 
BTW, the Mac drive mentioned above should be an external hard
drive, with its own power and case. If you ever wnat to use it
on the Spectre ONLY, just take it out of its case and plug it
into the extra slot in the FAST case.
 
Now I have room for System 7, the minute Dave gets it working!

Sure, Atari gives you 4 characters of pure slack and you want BOX
CORNERS.  This just proves you are SQUARE and haven't smoked your
daily dosage of frop.  Send all your money to "Bob", and you might be
forgiven IF YOU ARE LUCKY.
 
The thing I like best about my ST is that "Bob" is in the character
set.  They should have used 16 characters and given him the space he
deserves.

I have done some preliminary probe into this matter two years ago and there
was absolutely no problem at all. Expanding up to 8 MB is rather easy if
you know how to build a RAM board for 68000 CPU. The reason I haven't done
it yet is that so far I couldn't persuade the DMA controller to handle the
upper 4 megabytes. I have recently heard that CRT controller (SHIFTER) can
be persuaded by poking their I/O addresses (Reflex board does this and
allows us to use any kind of monitor on TOS 1.4). I don't think using
a RAM disk of 4 MB is very fantastic (I'd rather use a hard disk). Another
thing I had to consider was using Standard SIMMS sockets...
 
Germans actually sell expansion boards, but they are VERY expensive at
least in England where I am based in a way. A 4 MB expansion module costs
Sterlng Pounds 689.43 at Atari Workshop in Windsor. It may not include
the actual chips which they charge StgL 275 for 4 MB.

The reason the ST polls the /MONO line 50/60/71 times a second is to avoid
blowing the sh!t out of your color monitor.
 
The horizontal osc cctry will try to lock to twice the normal horizontal
scan freq... this oscillator is also used to generate the EHT in your
system. If you're lucky, all that will happen is that the osc will freerun
and make a bit of a squeal. However, if you aren't lucky... anything from the
horiz. o/p transistor, the EHT coil, tripler, or even the tube (unlikely)
may fail. These failures, involving _very_ (20+KV) high voltages can be
messy, noisy, smelly, and _very_ expensive.
 
Don't do it.

It is probably boulder.colorado.edu, but I don't do uucp when I can
avoid it, so I'm not sure that they are really the same host.
 
Most people don't need to worry about all this because most sites have
"smart" uucp routers, and root@gbs.UUCP should do the right thing.

On the top side of the IC there is a bevel on it with a dimple,
This dimple is over pin 1, and the pin to the left side of the Dimple is 68,
and the left most pin on that side is 61,
 Note pin 61 is connected to 0 volts.
                                       * <- Dimple
               61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
               ~        ~

I hope this helps.

Subject: Rings of Medusa questions...
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
 
Anyone who hasn't played the game Rings of Medusa, you can ignore this
article.
 
When you enter a city, and enter a temple within the city, sometimes
they give you a clue to where a treasure is located.
ie. 13 degrees 21 minutes south, 26 degrees 15 minutes west
 
Now, when I go there and send out my scouts, they always return saying,
"Sorry sir, we found nothing."  Am I missing something here?  I've
outfitted them with extras and machines, but is there perhaps something
else I need?
 
In addition, when attacking with the warship, I can't seem to hit any
enemy boats with my cannon.  There's no indication of where the cannonball
is going, so I don't even know if it's firing or not!
 
Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
 
Please reply by mail as I don't read this group regularly.

The manual for the modem (I have the same one) recommends using XON/XOFF flow
control in the modem and RTS/CTS at the computer. However, if the poster above
is correct regarding problems with RTS/CTS with Ataris, you can turn off flow
control in the modem and rely on XON/XOFF at the computer.

Try Windows 3.0 using a 486-33 with 130Meg and 1024x768 SVGA 256 colors,
1.44 Meg floppy and ISA bus, motherboard expandable to 64Megs using 4Meg
SIMMS, all for under $2700.00 US dollars.  And COMPAQ machines are slow
compare to some compatibles rolling out these days.  And also if you
can't get those people to get a new system, try buying new SVGA cards using
VRAM,  or TIGA cards which is said to be upto 10x faster than any VGA card
out that should solve most of the slowness experience on Windows 3.0, I'm
using Windows 3.0 and its faster than window type environment I've seen or
used.

 Unix Windows is very good. Just one important facet you forgot to mention:
its needs BSD flavoured unix to run. Those like myself with SysV will have
to wait till someone rewrites the whole package for it.

 There is at least one X server package for the St. Its made by a German
company, and sold with their ethernet adaptor. I can't find my documentation
on it at the moment, but as soon as I do I'll post details about it
(unless someone else does it for me).
