- Version 1.03 of !STem
- =======================
-
-
- The files in this distribution include:
- • README - this file
- • !STem - the Atari ST emulator application
- • !FDImage - creates floppy disk images (version 1.01)
- • !TOSInfo - provides information about TOS images (version 1.01)
- • MF-9017 - an MDF file for the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17"
-
-
- Installation
- ============
- Detailed instructions on how to install and use STem are given in the 'SetUp'
- file in the 'Documents' directory (SHIFT double-click on the !STem application
- to open it).
-
- If you are installing !STem, !FDImage or !TOSInfo over previous versions, it
- should be sufficient just to copy the new files over the old ones.
-
- The application !FDImage is the only way I know of for creating floppy disk
- images from existing DOS/Atari floppy disks, thus it is best copied out of the
- archive and placed near to the !STem application. However, you may delete it if
- you wish. Inside the !FDImage directory (SHIFT double-click on the !FDImage
- application to open it), is the 'Documents' directory, which contains various
- text files explaining how to use the program.
-
- The application !TOSInfo is optional, and personally I wouldn't bother to remove
- it from the archive, as it isn't a great deal of use at the moment. Delete it if
- you wish. Inside the !TOSInfo directory (SHIFT double-click on the !TOSInfo
- application to open it), is the 'Documents' directory, which contains various
- text files explaining how to use the program.
-
- You might also like to add the mode definitions given in the 'MF-9071' file to
- your monitor definition file. These modes were designed for an Iiyama Vision
- Master Pro 17" monitor, so they may require modification before they will work
- on your computer.
-
- *** BE WARNED - altering your monitor definition file could damage your monitor!
- If you have any doubts about this, DON'T do it!

- Known Problems
- ==============
- Listed below are the main problems which I am aware of, and the solutions to
- these problems where they are known:
-
- • Problem: Mouse button clicks are not noticed by the operating system.
- Solution: Move the mouse at the same time as the button is held down.
- When the button is released, the mouse click will be registered
- at the current mouse position.
- Alternatively, generate mouse clicks using the keyboard.
-
- • Problem: Some disks (especially double sided ones) are read incorrectly
- when using the actual floppy drive attached to the host
- computer.
- Solution: Convert the disk into an image file (using !FDImage), and map
- in the image file instead. All the problems should then
- disappear.
-
-
- Changes in this Release
- =======================
- Listed below are some of the changes between this release and the previous one:
-
- • Several important bug fixes to the 68000 emulation code.
-
- • MFP Timer C was speeded up. It is now only 128 times slower than the real
- chip. See the newly added 'MFP Timers' section in the 'SetUp' file for
- further details.
-
- • Joystick support has been tested, and seems to work correctly. For those
- without a joystick the numeric keypad can be used instead.
-
- • TOS version 2.06 (and sometimes 2.05) can now be used - although there are
- still some problems which have yet to be resolved.
-
- Refer to the 'History' and 'SetUp' files for further details about these and
- many other changes.
