        That is also included with the system. I will not piece this
	puppy out.  One price takes it all!  I would like to sell this
        system to someone in the Bay area to avoid the hassle of 
	packing and shipping it.  But if someone really wants it from

 I have an lha program which handles lh1 type .lzh files just fine, under 
Vax/VMS. However, with most ftp sites using lh5 nowadays the best I can do 
is to see a directory listing, with dates, of the lharced files in the 
archive.

 It would be awfully nice to find an executable which could properly handle
the lh5 format. Can anyone give me a pointer as to where I might find such 
a program? Thanks.

Indeed.. I totally agree that *VME* is a standard world-wide..
 
HOWEVER.. the Atari implementation of that standard IS NOT
fully compatible with the industry acknowledged standard.
 
It's about as close to VME as "ASCI" was to the SCSI standard.
 
For anyone with the standard Atari short-memories, Allan Pratt
*acknowledged* that the Atari "VME" was not fully implemented,
saying something like "maybe next time".

There may be *hundreds* of 3U VME cards in the world.. how
many of those are of ANY interest to an Atari computer user?
 
(Actually, 3U is rarely used in the "real world".. the double
height 6U card is the most widely available.)
 
My message went on to ask if anyone out there has found any
3U cards that they've actually found useful..
 
In what way was my message "unfair"..?
 
I'd really like to know if anyone in the "real world" has
*EVER* found anything to plug into their (Atari)VME slot
that did anything useful for them..
 
(A bit of background.. I use, and know about those "VME"
cards for instrumentation and industrial control.. NONE of
the ones I'm familiar with would even FIT into an Atari
"VME" slot, much less be useful to the "average" Atari
owner).
 
This sounds a lot like the time I asked if ANYONE actually
had an "ATW"..

If you are not eager to do kernel developing, probably you want to know

Minix is not much Unix, as it does not swap. Any process is memory
resident. The 68000 processor is not very usable to program a real Unix
or equivalent, as processes have to be in the same memory location for
the duration of their execution.
This limitation can remedied by having lots of memory. I would recommend
twice as much as all processes you want to run together. As Minix is
developed for the 8088 you may count 128kB for each process.

For Multi-User application you should be warned that there is no
protection against destructive actions buy other users on the ST. The
protection is a bit better on the 8088.
Also Minix is limited to the level of 'version 7', which is not what
most unix users want.

BTW, Dragonware is a member of the IAAD (Independent Association of Atari

No 40 folder problem. You will need POOLFIX3 or Claus Brod's update of
POOLFIX3 which was called POOLFIX4, but has had its name changed... There is
also TOS14FIX, to fix a few other minor problems.

You still have those RTS/CTS problems, and problems with driving the serial

atari.archive.

You don't need FATSPEED any more. TOS 1.4 disk access speed is far, far
better than that in TOS 1.0

>I have a good book that describes TOS 1.0 completely and part of TOS

It depends on which languages you can understand. There are some excellent
German texts, and you could read my TOS 1.4 description in a previous edition
of the UK mag "ST Applications" :-) There is no new Mxalloc system call --
that came in later versions on TOS.

  The reason for the delay of the Falcon is that Atari has

when they got the specifications for the A1200. The Falcon has now
been improved with higher graphic resolutions, the max. resolution
is now 1280*960. (I don't know how many colors there will be in this

the A1200 in all ways!!!
  The minimum RAM config. will now be 4MB, and the new Falcon will

  Machines should be shipping by the end of next week. (Unless Atari
