Don't forget that the DSP only has an address space of 64Kwords per memory
type (X/Y/P-RAM) and that even if it was possible to connect the DSP in
a DMA-device-like fashion to main memory, the main memory would be much
too slow for the DSP to operate at full speed. The DSP's RAM is 0 waitstate
static RAM (SRAM) at 25 or 30ns (don't know exatcly).

I'm not a developer, but I think the above description is more or less
accurate.

: How is the 32Kwords DSP RAM distributed over the X, Y & P memory areas?

As far as I know (from German magazines) the memory areas are all mapped on
the same 32Kwords (96Kbytes) SRAM, so that P-RAM can access all 32Kwords,
X-RAM is mapped to the addresses $4000-$7fff and Y-RAM to $0000-$3fff of
the same SRAM.

: Also what are the new blitter features? does it do 32 bit blits or does it
: do 16 bit blits with caching to make use of the extra bus width and leave more

: ST blitter with a double speed clock?

I have no idea, but I've heard it is 4-5 times as fast as the old STe blitter,
so just double clock speed can't be the reason for this.

NO ! I state facts not fiction, go look at what a STE sold for $800a and
look at the USA price of the same, its some 3 * the USA price...

So 3 * $799us  = $2397a, its that simple..

We do have Atari OZZ working here and a dealer here has quoted $2500nz,
So if you can't live with the truth may be you need to get a PC..??

   Hi, I just recently purchased Spectre GCR with rev 3.0 software from another
user.  I'm having problems getting started though...

  a.) Everything is hooked up properly, the ROMS are Ok, the cables are
      secure, I reseated things, blah blah blah...

  b.) I am using System/Finder 6.0.5 in native Mac format

  c.) I am always greeted with a disk/question mark icon despite the fact that
      a valid disk is in there.

  d.) I hit F1, it rereads the disk, and the happy Mac comes up.

  e.) I get "Welcome to Macintosh"

  f.) I get a crash page, with an "Illegal instruction trap" error or some
      such nonsense.  Any attempt to restart the finder will just result in 
      more crashes and an eventual freeze of my machine.

I am using this on a Mega 2 with TOS 1.4.  Is there anything I'm missing here
or do I just have terrible luck with emulators???

  Help me please!!!!!

I quite agree with some of your technical comments about the Falcon, Stefan.
I think Atari _did_ cripple the machine somewhat (sorry, fellow Atarians)
and I don't see how a Falcon = 98% VideoToaster, either.  In fact, there are
a _lot_ of things I'm unhappy about concerning the new machine.  But I'm
still excited about it and anxiously await its release.  And why not?

HOWEVER... whether you _are_ or are _not_ insecure, the childish ravings you
have been posting here certainly don't herald a high maturity factor.  You
don't like the Falcon?  Fine.  You are entitled to your own opinion as are 
others that _do_ like this promising machine.  Why can't you leave it at that?  

You would do well to take a lesson from Jason Steiner and other mature Amiga
owners who at least are open minded enough to recognize the potential of other
machines that don't carry the C= label.

If some over zealous Atarian is cross-posting in the Amiga newsgroups, I
apologize.  But flame HIM via email, and leave us be, OK?

	Hi all,

	I just downloaded the latest interim release of Aladin (1.50).  Since
I went through the d/ling and all that (and since the docs say its ok to 
distribute), I was wondering if there is any interest in having it put in
A.A. or any of the other archives.  

	Its not like a real big deal, but since I'm lazy I won't if there is
no interest.

	BTW, email if you are interested - we probably don't need to waste more

The last ST Format (October issue) stated 499 pounds sterling for the
"basic" Falcon in the UK, and (I think?) 899 pounds sterling for 4Mb
RAM and Hard drive (48Mb?) which seems pretty reasonable to me. I guess
Mega prices are going to drop like stone...

How about changing comp.sys.atari.st to comp.os.tos?  Atari machines 
account for a small user base which makes a sys group for each model
unnecessary.  Besides, nothing really exciting is happening for the
ST, the future for Atari computers (right now) is the Falcon.

    I have removed my 68000 and several other chips on the ST motherboard,
and it's tricky, as traces break reaally easily. I was lucky I had access 
to a mega st circuit digram, as one of the traces leading to the blitter 
broke, and it took me several hours to track down with a continuity testor.
This was after using both a desolderer and desoldering tape. Any other
pc board work I plan to take to a shop.

It's a much-improved version of the CSB editor program which appeared on an
