Quick ST II is available from Atari dealers and also directly from us.
We are so confident about the power of our Quick ST II software
accelerator, that we are offering all Atari ST users the opportunity to
test out the latest version of Quick ST II ABSOLUTELY FREE. See for
yourself just how much faster your Atari ST, Mega ST, or Atari STE runs
with our product. We just introduced Quick ST 2.2 at the recent Atari shows
in Glendale and Washington, and the response was great! But you don't have
to be one of the lucky few people who attends an Atari show to see the
power of Quick ST 2.2 for yourself. A brand new demo is now available.
You may have seen earlier versions of Quick ST in the form of demos (such
as the demo on the May 1990 START disk, or the Quick ST 2.0 demo on various
bulletin boards), or older shareware versions of Quick ST. These old demos
and versions are fine, except that they do not show off the very latest
speed and features of Quick ST II. New features such as: 68030 support,
Moniterm and ISAC support, blitter support, fast GDOS font support, etc.
We have prepared a brand new demo, a demo of Quick ST 2.2, which is so fast
and powerful, that it leaves all other demos in the dust, even those full
speed Turbo ST demos. The Quick ST 2.2 demo runs on any ST, whether it is a
520ST, or a brand new Atari STE, a Mega ST, and even the TT! It doesn't
matter whether you have a monochrome monitor, a color monitor, a Moniterm
monitor, or have installed the Overscan modification.
Even if you are a Turbo ST user, the improved compatibility and lower
memory requirements of Quick ST 2.2 will make you throw Turbo ST away!
Features
--------
What can Quick ST II do for you? Quick ST II is a software accelerator.
When used on any Atari ST it speeds up the text and graphics operations on
the screen. Almost any text or GEM based program runs faster as a result,
making your ST perform like a much faster machine. No hardware
modifications are required! Quick ST II also has the added ability to
install custom background patterns and pictures on your desktop.
Quick ST II is very memory efficient, using 16K - 28K of memory (depending
on the configuration). An extra 32K of memory is required for the optional
installation of desktop background pictures.
Quick ST II is fully compatible with hardware accelerators such as the T16
and AdSpeed ST accelerators. When used with a hardware accelerator, Quick
ST II provides a speed increase on top of the speed increase of the
hardware accelerator. if you are lucky enough to own one, try it out!
TAKE THE QUICK ST II CHALLENGE
------------------------------
There are three ways to obtain the Quick ST II version 2.2 demo:
1 - if you have a modem and access to a bulletin board or online
information service such as GEnie or Compuserve, download the demo from the
Atari ST library. On GEnie, type M 476 to get to the library. On
Compuserve, type GO ATARIARTS. Download the file QST22D.ARC or QST22D.LZH,
decompress it and read the file QST22DEM.DOC for installation instructions.
The demo should appear on most services and bulletin boards shortly after
October 13, 1990. If you can't find it, ask the sysop for help.
2 - if you belong to an Atari user group, ask your club librarian for a
copy of the Quick ST 2.2 demo. Some clubs may charge a nominal fee.
3 - if you don't have a modem, or don't wish to spend money on long
distance bills or online fees, you can order the Quick ST 2.2 Demo Disk
directly from Branch Always Software. Print out and fill out the
information sheet below (or write the information down on paper).
Reviews
-------
Still not convinced? Quick ST and Quick ST II have been reviewed in almost
every Atari ST magazine in Canada, the U.S., England, and Germany. Read the
reviews in the latest ST Magazin, the June 1990 issues of Current Notes and
ST Informer, an upcoming issue of START, the April 1990 issues of PSAN and
Phoenix, and the February 1990 issue of Atari Interface Magazine.
We'll let you read the reviews yourself, because every review recommends
our product. Our users have also spoken about Quick ST II. This is a small
sample of the kinds of letters we receive from our users every day:
"Often, when customers have problems with products, they are quick to make
their complaints known; that is more rare in the case of satisfaction.
However, I wish to express my thorough satisfaction with your product Quick
ST v2.1. Quick ST is an excellent product. I have good amount of
application software available for the Atari ST and, thus far, I have not
discovered any compatibility problems whatsoever. The speed at which my
computer operates with Quick ST utterly amazes me! I was completely shocked
by version 2.0's rapid window redraws and breakneck speed at which alert
boxes and dialog boxes appear - and text speed!" - Ray Mattera
"Having recently purchased Quick ST II version 2.1, I can honestly say that
it was the best investment in my Mega ST2 system since my hard disk drive.
I cannot begin to mention the improvement in my work since installing Quick
ST." - David Gaxiola
"I thought I'd write you, and tell you how enjoyable your Quick ST II is. I
just got it ... and I think it's one of the BEST UTILITY programs I've ever
purchased for my Atari ST". - Mike Harvey, Atari Users of North Texas
