You are saying that UNIX is such a dog it makes a NeXT run like a '030 Amiga, HP, TT, etc???? The test was on an '030 NeXT. You are very uninformed. Have you ever used an '040 NeXT? I happen to own one. I've done benchmarks on it, with and without the window server running. In both cases with it scores %1000drys/MHz or %25000drys. When tested with the window server running all the other UNIX stuff was running. Without the window server running it is in single user mode and is a bit faster. I didn't give exact numbers because I don't have them in front of me. The NeXT is in no way a "bad design."

Having just spent the weekend playing DM at my brother-in-laws, I think I can help w/ that.. (sound familiar?) Anyway, you can't 'kill' chaos. If you have the firestaff and that 'rock' (I forget the name of it.. and so soon!) fused together, then you create a 'cage' using the second option on the firestaff, and when he enters it, you use the fuse option on the firestaff. What I want to know is how to 'continue' after you have Chaos caged? The hint book said something about 'he might let you gather the treasure after you're done'? As a final note, I picked Hawk (the fearless- or is that just plain stupid) as a solo run because he had the strength to carry some stuff, but had a little mana as well. It took awhile to build wizard levels- but by the end of the game, his wizard level was highest (2nd level master- 1st level fighter). Oh, another question about DM- I was using the 'better' axe that you find in the lower levels to hit the stone golems on level 7. However, I was only doing very little damage to it. Is there something that works better on these? Once you run out of mana, it's hard to fight, and if it weren't for that door.... K'vin -- "Gene Roddenbery: He must have been a red-shirt."

This semester I've signed up for an Electronic Ensemble Production class at American U. The goal of which is to produce a synthesizer concert by the end of the semester. I consider myself to be one of the musically talentless, but it was either this or Lighting Design, which doesn't interest me at all. This class, even if I don't do well, has the advantage of being in line with my interests. At the school we have 3 Korg M1's, an Oberhiem Matrix 6 and some Roland box connected to a Kurzweil MIDIboard? and an Atari 1040-ST. I don't know the first thing about any of these... yet. I was told that this Atari is 4 years old, with 1 MB RAM, and a 60 MB hard disk, although we're not certain of that last figure. There's some sort of C compiler for it. At home, I've got a stock Amiga 3000 (25 Mhz) with a 50 MB hard disk, 6 MB RAM and AmigaDOS 2.04 on the hard disk, not in ROM. I've purchased Matt Dillon's DICE (a C compiler) for it, but I really don't know C yet. (I'm a FORTRAN and assembler programmer, but haven't done any small machine work.) I also have a Perfect Sound 3.22 sampler and CrossDOS for it. No MIDI stuff, no synthe- sizers, etc. Both computers have modems. Now, my question: Since I have limited access to the synthesizers and the Atari on campus, what can I purchase in order to develop ideas on the Amiga and then transfer them, either via floppy (preferred) or phone, to the Atari and vice versa? I'm still in hock over the Amiga, so I'm looking for cheap solutions. PLEASE, PLEASE, send replies directly to me, since I'm not on all of these lists. (I know I should be, but my disk space just won't support it!)

BUT: for anything but the Mega STs you will need a stronger power supply (at least 4 Amps on +5 Volts) and a different case. So if you have your machine in a PC-case with a strong power supply that will be fine. For the standard, off-the-shelf 260/520/1040 models: sorry, no way. Oh, if you should ask how I know: I am distributing the Gadgets products in Germany and have exhibited the SST board in August in Duesseldorf (if you still don`t know it: every year in Duesseldorf, Germany the largest Atari fair in the world takes place). The information above was given me by Dave Small back then, to the best of my knowledge nothing has changed about the board in that regard.

When I bought my Mega 2 a couple of years ago, I eventually looked inside and found that it had FOUR megs of RAM in the motherboard! Apparently very few Megas are like this one. I found that the RAS line to the upper bank had been left unsoldered, so only two megs of RAM were useable. I corrected this oversight, and zam! Four megs! Atari's attempt to limit *my* address space failed too. Sadly, most mega 2's were not made this way; slim pickings for conspiracy hunters... ..
