I had been trying to get pc ditto ver 2.0 to run on my st.

Well thanks to all who suggested it might only run in color.

I hooked an rca cable to an old 'game' box I had (from my C64 !) to
my color tv, and at least I can see what the program msgs are.

I had been wanting to try my ST with the video jack anyway, and this was
a reason to try it (I also managed to find the 'game' box <g>)

Well, I have tried it with MSDOS 5.0 and MSDOS 3.0.  
(both formatted boot disks)

I get the message 'possible disk error'.

The disks are fine when read from GEM.

I saw a post recommending PC DOS. Is this what I need?

It is working under mintshel.prg but on any other real shell it will not.
The following is working under the most shells also under mintshel.prg:

alias pwd 'echo $CWD'

Under ksh it will be:

alias pwd 'echo $PWD'
alias echo 'print -r'

What is the best way to improve the feel of the 1040ste keyboard without

Yes, I it works fine. The only Problem is, that Gemini does not know about 
starting TTPs as parallel processes. So, if a TTP runns, the Desktop sleeps, as
known from Gemini + TOS. Starting a TTP as background process (with "bg") is
of course possible, but this causes other problems: The build-in Mupfel-Shell 
occupies the console-window and you can not stop it because otherwise the whole
Desktop is stopped again. So background process and Mupfel output will be mixed
on the Screen.
Another problem: The Gemini console-window output-routines are not fully 
multitasking proof. They seem to assume to work in the top-window. This
may mess up your sceen, if a background process writes to the partly covered 
console.
Of cause you may use BG.ACC to work with a number of parallel processes, but
them you will not be able to use all of the benefits of Gemini. But I heard 
rumours, that there will be a new fully-mint-aware version of Gemini in the 
near future. In addition I am working on a Gemini-aware xterm clone-DA
that will also solve the problems mentioned above. I will be free and I will
anounce it as soon as it is ready.

GEM.PRG starts up the GEM environment, which can only be done once in current
TOS versions. GEM is automatically started at MiNT boot time unless another
shell is specified in \MINT.CFG so there is no sensible reason for wanting to
start it up again, unless doing so would reinitialise GEM without crashing.

What I would definitely like to see is a way to quit GEM safely and release
its memory after it has been started. Then it would be possible to run GEM
programs at any time but not waste machine resources on GEM when it is not
needed. Rebooting to rid the machine of GEM is not an option.

Hi again!

Thanks to some German netters, I've found the GEMRAM patch for WinX 2.0 and 
it's now on archive in the /atari/new directory as gemram11.lzh.

Also uploaded is calc150.lzh, a German calculator with lots of nifty 
features. A version that takes use of the math chip in the TT is included in 
the package. It apparently has a Windows version too. Can be run as a prog 
or an acc.

Enjoy!

The speed at which two modems connect (e.g. 14400 bps) is totally
independent of the terminal program. These programs let you select the line
speed between computer and modem, nothing else. So you should always select
the highest possible speed in your terminal program.
If you select 9600 bps and the modem to modem connection is 14400 bps you
loose performance because the modem doesn't get data quick enough to profit
from the higer line speed.

The documentation for both the AHDI disk that shipped with my Mega STe

a program called SHIP.PRG whose purpose is to park the heads of all

What's the problem with marketing the Falcon as a games machine? Of course
you can do a lot more with it than just playing games. And there surely
isn't anyone who tells you just to play games on it. It's up to you how you
use a machine. If you like to use other programs (i.e. no games) on it, go
ahead! Most of the existing software will run on it.

	Probably not.  This is about the right price range for a set of accel-
erator options - $399 for the main board, more for the board+33MHz'040, $1200
for (maybe) board+33MHz'040+cache+memory or something like that - I've seen
similar configurations for accelerators on the Mac.  Remember, that 33'040 is
one _expensive_ chip.  Of course, the accelerator range may take into account
a lower model that has a 32MHz'030.

	Remember take this with a salt shaker, as it is all speculation anyway.
Heck, until it is announced, the Falcon is speculation too (its just gotten a
lot of free press before it is born :).

You *might* be able to do this, but why? The joystick ports can't have very high
resolution, bit wise, and there is now software that allows 8, 12, and 16-bit
sampling, in stereo, on the STe. The 8-bit samplers aren't even that expensive.

step 1 : Buy a laptop computer.
Step 2 : Dont ever buy the palmtop ones which run on 2 AA size batteries...
Step 3 : Pull the battery out.
Step 4 : tap the bozos lightly onthe head with the batteries.
	 Be careful! these batteries are heavy enough to smash
	 golconda diamonds.  So, tap lightly.  It should do the job.
Step 5 : Because we pull the battery out in step 4, and if you have
	 laptop running and beeping (all the while), then you should
	 have bought a laptop which has an internal bettery (was intended
	 for battery swaps, and not for mug-protection ;-)  )
Step 6 : put battery back.  Continue to extend your right arm (i.e.,
	 pick up the laptop and carry it).
Step 7 : Throw away all other stuff that you lug around -- like
	 the various self-protection equipment like mace etc...
	 You dont need them.  Remember you have the batteries....

	I read about this new release in the Latest PC Magazine (Aug, 1992)
	and based on the performance specs, I have put this notebook in
	my #1 slot for affordable notebooks.  I have found that the
	processor speed is very good for a 386/25 system and the memory speed
	is good as well.  The disk access speed is up there with the 
	Gateway and Compudyne 386's and it stood out from many of the
	other notebooks in graphics speed at, I believe, 1.78 Megapixels
	per second.  That makes this book a viable contender.  I read that
	the battery life is good and that the notebook is built well.
	I think that this notebook is a great deal and you have made a 
	smart choice that I would consider taking if I were in the buying
	market at present.  

	It will be nice to hear comments of experiences with this notebook 
	in the future.
