Subject: Anti-flamewar proposal.
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
If you hate posts that respond to flamers, read on. This one is
different.
I own an Atari 1040 and a Mac SE. I work on Sparcstations and a Mac
IIx. I feel qualified to discuss my likes and dislikes about each of
these machines, because I use them regularly. I love my Atari and I
always amaze people when I show them what it can do.
The problem with flamewars is that each amiga or atari user roots for
their own machine and picks on the other guy's machine. I don't like
flamewars, but I do enjoy comparisons of various machines, even if I
have no explicit plans to change computers as a result of the discussion.
Since newsgroups are a forem for discussion, our newsgroup is a natural
place to hold such a discussion.
I therefore feel that it would me most informative if each user were to
say what they _dislike_ about their machine in addition to what they do
like. In this spirit, and understanding that people have already rooted
for the ST/STe/TT's good qualities, I'd like to say what I don't like
about my ST. I invite a humble Amiga owner to do the same.
"Why my Atari 1040STf Sucks," by Bill Magro
I) GEM/Desktop has a lot of problems
A) Mouse events are not registered quickly, so if I click on a button
and quickly move the mouse, the button doesn't see the click. Very
annoying, and it slows me down.
B) I have to bring a window to the front before I can launch a program
from it. In the mac's finder, if I double click on an icon in an
obscured window, the window comes forward and the program runs. In
GEM the window just comes forward. Arghh! This slows me down.
C) I can't arrange my desktop in any efficient way. Not being able to
put programs on the desktop or to arrange them freely in a window
makes launching programs a nightmare. This slows me down.
D) There is no effective and consistent multitasking environment. This
is the 90's. A lot of people ask what the big deal is about multi-
tasking. There isn't one until you use it for a week or so and then
try to go back. I don't know how many Atari owners use their computers
for real work. My work is scientific computing and I need to log into
the big computers and do runs, then grab the data and graph it
immediately, then update my TeX document with the results. I cannot
do this right now with my ST (I don't have multigem yet). Atari
really _needs_ multitasking.
E) Do we really need to reboot to change resolutions? Come on Atari,
you can do better than this.
II) Hardware bitches
A) Why is TOS in ROM? What a stupid idea. Sure I can turn my computer
on and get a desktop without a long boot time. That is nice.
Unfortunately, if you hate the Desktop (see above), every time you
turn the computer on you _have_ to see that desktop. Almost any piece
of software is obsolete the day it is released. Putting your operating
system in ROM is like a 19 year old who gets "I am 19 years old"
tattooed on his chest. Atari only hurts itself by putting the OS out
in such a difficult (and expensive) upgrade format. Programs like
neodesk, folderxxx, pinhead, etc. should not have to exist.
B) Our graphics modes suck. 640x400 mono is great for work. But everyone
else has at least 640x400 256 colors available now. The new TT
resolutions should be in _all_ of the machines by now. Come on Atari!
C) We need a bus (or buss if you are a total computer nerd)! People
like to upgrade their machines. If you don't make provisions,
people will hack up their machines anyway. (VME bus in Mega/TT is
good).
D) The power supply/keyboard/mouse all suck. The keyboard is mushy, but
reliable. The power supply is too weak (mine has burned out twice in
three years). The mice don't feel very nice and are prone to quickly
wearing out. (Again Mega/TT seem to deal with this.)
E) Non standard connectors. ACSI, monitor and drive ports, a male rs232
port?!?!?! Come on! If you are going to introduce new connectors, at
least give them advantages over the standard connectors.
Why do I _love_ my ST? For the same reasons every other owner does. It is
an awesome computer, just a little outdated. Ok amiga/mac/pc/acorn/next/sun/
ibm rs/hp/decstation/vaxstation/cray/timex/ncube/connection-machine/SGI iris/
commodore64/atari8bit/pet/appleII owners, it's your turn. What do _you_
hate about your machine? Let's let each owner cut their own machine down.
Then we might actually learn something from these discussions.
By the way, if you decide to followup on this article, please don't include
the whole thing and respond line-by-line. Can you imagine anything more
agonizing than having to read this again in its entirety?

One think that could fix one or two of your gripes could be Neodesk III
or say the new TOS 2.06..
There is another Big computer in the UK, Acorn A5000 that has 2 megs bytes
Rom of RISC OS, with a lot of sotfware built in, these computers , they
have a range, (the A5000 is one of there latest), are aimed at schools

Firstly.. I said that it wasn't ideal, I didn't say that it was horrid or
anything else.
Secondly.. I wouldn't quite put it just behind the NeXT (but that's a purely
personal point of view). There is C programming and C programming, if you
are talking about program development for one platform only, then, yes, the
Amiga is quite a nice platform.
I must admit that before your posting I knew of only three C compilers for
the Amiga, they being Lattice, Sozobon and GNU. In my optinion (and that of
a couple of Amiga programming friends), Lattice C (version 5 point
something) is not a simple compiler to use and has a major bug in its
implementation of the vprintf() function in its library. The last I heard of
Sozobon was that it didn't come with a library. I knew nothing of the GCC
port other than it existed.

PS. I was not flaming the Amiga, it is a fine machine. It's just not quite
my cup of tea. Lets build bridges between our communities rather than divide
them, good things can come of this, such as the Sozobon compiler for the
Amiga. Maybe a nice Amiga owner can write a program which will be of a great
use to Atari users.

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is a _lot_ of games
don't work on 2.0(5,6) and Falcon is one of them. Also FOTI and numerous
others. A freind tells me the keyboard handler was changed, and this is
what breaks some games.
The good news is your Falcon should work on 1.4. Just write protect
disk one. ( Or was it don't? ) It was discussed when the game came out,
and the fix is that simple.
If this is not the case, get in touch with Spectrum Holobyte, as their
support is excellant for their existing games, even if they aren't
converting any more. You can upgrade to the latest version, 1.2, for
$15.

I tried the QuickST2 demo on my TOS 1.0 1040ST and noticed quite
a speedup. I'll be upgrading to a MEGA_STe soon and I'm wondering
whether QuickST3 is still worthwhile to get, or has stuff been cleaned

I also ftped the CrackArt drawing program from atari.archive. Wow,
never realized how good low-rez could look. Does anyone know of

Subject: Supra Interface PROBLEM
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
I've got a Supra ST DMA->SCSI Interface that's about a year old (It's
got the clock on it) and I'm having some <gasp> troubles.
I've got two ST-125N 20Meg SCSI Drives I'd like to hook up to it. I can
get them to work by themselves, but they won't work cabled together on
the interface. The SUPRAFMT.PRG recognises and partitions both drives,
but GEM/TOS tells me that drive "E" doesn't exist (the first partition
on the 2nd ST-125N.) Both drives are terminated, otherwise I get
erratic results from both drives. The Supra documentation discusses
drives that may supply termination power from the SCSI bus on Pin 26 of
the cable - and suggests clipping that pin between the two drives.
However, it also says that the drives would likely not spin at all if
that were the case.
Any hints, clues, etc. before I resort to Supra tech support? Last time
I called them it took forever to get thru only to find out that the guy
on the other end couldn't answer my question...

What version of Laser C do you have. The last version, released ages
ago was 2.0 (or was it 2.1? I forget.) At any rate, new versions are
not forthcoming.

Well the roms should be in a cluster all together, I have never seen one
like you are quoting, do you think that these are Roms..??
The Roms on my machine are down the left side marked H-0,
H-1,H-2,L-0,L-1 and L-2...
A UK, firm does a PCB, that takes 2 , 2 chip rom sets, and let you
switch between them, TOS1.2/1.4..
Your machine is I think the same as mine, there should be small solder pads
nere the Roms, they have markings like 1M, 256K, A16/A17 etc, these are
for the type of Roms...
Best Electronics sell the Blitter Kit, I have been trying to ring them
from here, but from what I can gather, they are only open in the afternoon,
there are 2 solder pad/jumpers that need to be changed to enable the blitter.

Subject: want to BUY st (software), as opposed to sell
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
With all the activity of selling ST's, does anyone have a faster version of
BASIC or a BASIC compiler for a 520 ST that they would sell inexpensively?
How about any math related software, or maybe fractal or chaos or simulation
or neural net software?
(I gave a friend an ST and he really resists learning yet another programming
language but some of the math work he is doing is really going slowly in BASIC)
On another note, if anyone can tell from the return address on this WHY I can't
get a peep out of the atari archive mail server I would be greatly appreciative.
I would love to get some files, like the SubCal package but have not been able
to ever be acknowledged. Oh, do we need a real domain address around here.
