There's a problem with reading _and_ writing to the cartridge port.
But a German Organization has actually managed to read AND write by a mean
 trick,
you must read a special adress, which gives the device online the hint, that you
want to transmit data and the data is in one of the registers.......

So no easy solution to that one....

Well, the 520STe is the same as the 1040Ste in most respects. It has
stereo sound capability, but I think you have to provide your own
speakers.  You can use the regular Atari monitors on it as well.  The
internal drive is double sided, and it has 512 K of memory.  You can
expand the memory cheaply because of the type of memory it uses.  The TOS
version is 1.60 (or 1.62).  Not the latest, or even close.  Some of the
nicer features of the machine include playing music in the background and
having the Blitter chip.  You should also consider that upgrading your
old system is also a viable option.  If you can find good deals, that is.
I'm going to follow that path instead of buying an entirely new computer.
For $600, I will have a 4 MEG machine that runs at 16 MHZ.  If I am lucky
and Atari gave me a model with the capacity for a Blitter chip, then I
can add that for roughly $50.  Stereo sound can be purchased on a
cartridge, but I'm not sure how good it is.  Some cartridges aren't
supported by the MOD file players while some are.  Either way, I don't
listen to music that often (from the cuputer at any rate) so it isn't a
major concern.  To sum all this up, you should buy an STe is you don't
want to upgrade your old machine or that avenue isn't open to you.  The
STe is a great computer, and worth the price.  But if you can upgrade
your old machione, go for it.  I'm saving close to $700 by upgrading.
The only things I won't get by doing this are Stereo Sound (and DMA
sound, I suppose) and possibly the Blitter chip.  I don't play many game
though, so the Blitter chip might not be as useful to me as you would
think.  The Blitter chip is also useful for emulating big screens
(another thing I don't do, but could be useful to you) or certain
graphics operations.  A nice chip, but not really a neccessity.

Come on now.  Any UNIX system running a GUI will need 200-300megs of
disk space to run well.  This is not exclusive to NeXT.

Not really true.  What kind of devices do you want to connect?  You have
a SCSI port, a DSP port, and serial ports.  Most devices that people use
can be connected to one of these.

I don't think so.  Atari has no machine that has the performance.  Don't

As far as I know, only the video RAM is accessed 64-bit wide.

The ROMs are slow. But there are at least two programs which copy the
contents of the ROM to fast RAM and change the corresponding page
table entries. Makes the TT quite a bit faster :-)

        Cachexxx will not " trash" your disk if you make it big enough. It's
one of the only caches I found which could be made to buffer the directories
of 6 - 8 10 meg partitions at once. Whether this is a valid test or not,
I don't know. I would like a cache program which worked like the Laser C 2
shell, keeping entire files in memory during assemblies and linking, as well
as keeping the binaries in memory. A ramdisk is inefficient, but no cache
I've found can do what I want.
        But try this with any cache program. Show info on one partition,
then the second, then the first, then the third, and so on. Keep making
the cache bigger until all partitions can be shown and the first is still
entirely in memory ( no disk activity on show info ). I found cachexxx
did this on my system when set to 320. ( 4 meg is good for something after
all.) This also had the effect of keeping smaller programs resident so
using them several times required no disk accesses either.
        ICD's cache only allows the fat and data buffers to be set to 99,
almost a third less than what works for this test. It allows multiple
caches, but I've yet to find a combo which works as well as the above
mentioned set-up.
        However, memory is necessary. On my 4 meg machine, once I've got
the caching set up, Gemini running, and a comfortable Harlekin
configuration, I usually have about 2 meg of tpa left. ;-)
But I can shell out of an editor, run compiles and links and never get
out of memory errors, so I guess 2 meg is enough. And of course, the
machine runs about as fast as it can, though when I installed as ADSpeed,
it was even nicer. Note, I haven't tried Gnu programs under this set-up.
I might have to cut back on memory usage if I wanted to run g++ or
gnu emacs.
        Has anyone else tried similar " tunee-ups" ?

Well, the Megas had problems with shielding (mine does)... I suppose there
could be a similar problem in your 1040. If this is the problem, shielding your
drive cables (you have to open the box) with aluminum foil, and then wrapping
that in some kind of tape to avoid shorts, will usually solve the problem.

OR... You may be able to adjust your potemeter... There are instructions on how
to do this in the Spectre manual. My potemeter has to be all the way to the
right to get my dirve to read/write disks well. What you do is remove the top
of the GCR, and, using a small screwdriver and a very gentle touch, rotate the
only thing in there that looks like it can be rotated. Don't try this if you
are a terminal clutz :-)  While running the FULL disk test on a good (high
quality) floppy disk, adjust the potemeter. The GCR disk test program comes
with your spectre software. The results should get better/worse depending on
where you set the potemeter. If you are really lucky you may find a setting
that both of your drives work on. However, I've never met anybody who had much
success at this, you will probably have to settle for one drive or the other
functioning correctly with mac disks.

Good Luck...

finds them)?

        This sounds like the photo transistor degradation I posted
on several months ago. Did anyone keep a copy of that message,
I as I didn't? Basically, the photo-transistor changes over time
until the resistor biasing it no longer supplies enough impedance.
Upping the impedance will fix the problem for a while, but the
transistor will continue to drift.
        Best solution is a Golden Image mouse, as after a week, you'll
never go back.

Subject: Intermittent Boot Problem on MEGA4
To: [e-mail]

A friend has left me with his Atari Mega 4 (bought in the STates) to
test, claiming that it wouldn't boot off his hard disk, and could I
test it with another hard disk please. Duly done, I find that it will
boot first time about 20% of the time, about 30% of the time it will
drag itself up on the 2nd-5th attempt, and the other 50% of the time it
bombs out.

As it doesn't seem to be a hard disk problem, I'm supposing it's a CPU
fault. Does this behaviour ring any bells out there? I seem to recall
earlier messages on faulty chips (though I think they were for the
ST-FM so I didn't pay too much attention).

Thanks in advance for any info

Both of my Megas are this way on reboots.  They generally boot okay
initially if I power up the hard disk first, wait until it spins up
and completes its internal tests, and then power on the CPU.  But
reboots often fail, and the only "solution" I know is to keep
rebooting.

I too vaguely recall something a long time ago about faulty chips or
faulty component values in the reset circuit.  Does anyone remember
what the fix was?

In principle I agree; but after searching *very* hard for recent Rufus versions
(using archie) and came up with zip.
I found only an 'old' 1.04 that I uploaded unchanged to atari.archive.
Then someone told me a Dutch BBS had 1.06; I uploaded (using Uniterm...)
and read the documentation with the sole purpose of contacting the authors
as Julian Reschke - the famous author of the Profibuch - suggests.
I did not find any way of contacting them - apart from writing to the German
bank the shareware fee must be paid to.

So I tried to change the package as little as possible, only translating
german strings to english ones, testing identical behaviour of both english
and german version after each modification.
Only when I felt sure the functionality of the program had not been altered
I decided to give other people a chance to profit from my tedious work too.

However, the distribution package I made contains the full original package
I received - I only *added* my modifications to it.
My intentions never were to infringe on any copyrights or anything, and I tried
to remain as close to the original package as humanly possible.

Sure. But then again, the Rufus 1.04 version I found two weeks ago was created
very very long ago (1990, as I recall) - and it was not easy to locate even
that very old version!

>From German magazines I already knew for quite a while about more recent
versions being available - although they never appeared anywhere on the
Internet.

I gave up hope on 1.10 appearing within reasonable time and I thought I took
appropriate measures. I am sorry to have offended anyone by doing so.

Now if someone *would* be as kind as to make Rufus 1.10 available noone
would have to do the things I did, now would they?

        proably the best ST - SCSI interface is the ICD interface set.
        The best cost (American) that I have seen is around $95.

Subject: Should someone buy an ST now?
To: [e-mail]

        Instead of bickering over which computer is better, I would like to ask
        what machine you would recommend to a friend, family member, etc. Limit
        the choices to something the average Joe could afford. For example, a
        $10,000.00 SPARC station is out of reach to 99.9% of home users(and
        overkill too). I don't want to put any hard limit on cost, like say
        $3000.00 and under...use your own discretion and explain.

As for me....
        I own an ST and a Mac. I have also used PCs very extensively, as well
        as Suns and several other machines. Since a Sun is out of range, and
        a bit much for most people, I make the following recommendations.

        For the first time, or novice user I would recommend the Mac Classic, or
        maybe the LC. If they had a slightly larger budget I would recommend
        something in the low end Mac II range. With a printer a Classic or LC
        is under $2000.00, and there is a very large library of software for it.
        The Macs are also among the easiest to use, which is important for a
        novice user.

        For a more expierienced or technical user, I would recommend a PC
        compatable. The prices for PCs have dropped incredibly because of the
        competition among clone makers. You can get a lot of power for a good
        price. PCs also have BY FAR the largest software library, as well as the
        best support from third party software manufacturers. You can also get
        a very good version of UNIX for a PC..which is nice for the advanced user.
        ON THE OTHER HAND...DOS is the worst OS I have ever used...and even
        Windows is just a way to overlay DOS. If you don't like command lines
        and constantly fooling around with memory managers, etc..a PC is not
        for you. In my opinion, they are the most user UN-friendly computers
        on the market. The Commodore 64 was less frustrating.

        So why no ST recommendation from me?? I couldn't do that to a friend.
        Seriously. The fact of the matter is that the ST has little or no
        support in the US. Software is not easy to find, and even periodicals
        are scarce. In addition, very few large software companies make
        products for the ST. In my opinion Atari had incredible potential in
        '85-'88. They could have been big, but they screwed up in a series of
        consistently bone-headed moves. On the other hand(there is always another
        hand!) Atari STILL could pull themselves together and get back in to
        things if they really tried. There are plenty of markets to explore and
        move into if they looked. I hope they do.

Well, my son said he was going to post this, but he has been rather busy.
Finals are next week for him, so I can understand.  Anyway, last Saturday
night we (wife, son, and myself) were at the Front Row in Cleveland, Ohio.
This is a theater in the round - literally.  It has a round stage that turns
as the performance takes place.  There is seating in a circular fashion all
around the stage.  In this way, you get to see the performance from all sides.

Well, we were there to see the Moody Blues - YAAAH !  It was a great concert,
if you like the Moody Blues.  Anyway, the way the stage was arranged and where
we were, facing us, almost directly on stage when we sat down, was an Atari ST.
I had often heard of STs being involved in professional performances, but this
was the first time I had seen one in person.  I'd guess that on a regular
stage it would have never been seen.

My son went up to the stage to look at it.  I believe he said it was running
Notator software or something, I can't remember for sure.  I think he said it
was a 520 also.  If I'm wrong I'm sure he'll correct me (right Joe).  The
computer seemed to be a center of interest as after he went up, we saw other
people going up and looking at the computer.

During the performance, there appeared to be little activity on the screen.
I'd guess that the screen did not need a lot of activity for whatever was
required of it.

Enough rambling, just thought we should have some good news for a change.

I did have a play with X-Shell but found that it did not support
