StraTos
A sensational new product from the famous C-Lab company will be
available from System Solutions soon. Atari Notator and Creator users
are the prime targets for the StraTos card, an ST computer on a PC
plug-in card. StraTos is a true ST compatible computer with "real" MIDI
in/out, serial and parallel ports. It shares the screen, floppy and hard
drive of the PC but has it's own memory. So where's the catch? There is
none. Notator SL users will be able to use their original dongle, even
LOG 3 works and the program runs more than 3 times faster! The cursor
now follows the score notation in realtime, and the MIDI timing is as
good as on the original Atari. This card will prove a real winner for
all Atari users who want to migrate to the PC but wanted to keep their
favourite Atari programs. System Solutions hope to have stock of the
card April/May and the really good news is that it will be priced at
only £299.00 inc. VAT
RSVE - £29.95
High Speed Modem connection - new low price. With the advent of
hspeed modems such as 33.6 etc. the Atari's 19200 Connection of the
boaserial port is showing it's age. If you have a modem or are thinking
of buying one you will require higher speed connection. The RSVE is a
small hardware/software solution allowing higher connection speeds of
38,400 and 57,500 right up to 115200 on an accelerated ST. Fitting to the ST
is a relatively easy task with the new redesigned board which has only
four wires to be connect from the RSVE chip to the computer (this is
fitted internally). Also included with the package is a floppy disk
containing software which remaps the Atari RS232 timings allowing RSVE
to work with your modem.
Texel - New English version.
The 'be all and end all' spreadsheet for the Atari. The long awaited for
English version to be released at the Atari shows - £79.95
Hades - StarTrack
The Hades is overtaking the Atari Falcon - fast! StarTrack is a new
development for Direct to Disk recording managing 99 audio tracks. The
Hades 060 processor can handle up to 14 live tracks without DSP.
StarTrack hardware is on a VME card i.e. it also works on the Atari TT.
The VME card comes with a HQ 2 track A/D and D/A converters, SPDIF
coaxial and optical interfaces which are software switchable. The A/D
converters are of exceptionally high quality comparing well with DAT
recorders, unlike the Falcon's A/D-D/A section. Up to 4 VME can be used
at once to get 8 analogue in/outputs. A Falcon compatible DSP will be
available soon for realtime sound effects, as well as Falcon compatible
digital connectivity i.e. all devices designed for the Falcon digital
port will work on the Hades StarTrack board. StarTrack will be shown for
the first time in the UK at the Atari Show Days at Middlesex and
Birmingham during April 1997.
