Even the Falcons at the WAACE-Show in Washington had german keyboards.

Yeah, an air conditioning unit went in a machine room on north campus,

I take it back. But from the lack of any signs of life from Atari here in
Canada, Ive grown tired of waiting. Where is the new Falcon?! It was nice
at the Atari Messe, anyways. All I ask for is some signs such as a dealer
saying something positive, or perhaps some non-atarian knowing of its
existence.

(To be facetious...) Personnally I would prefer vxt2000 emulation on
my Mega STe.... But since that's an X-terminal.... :-).

Anyway....

The last time I tried CoNNect it kept crashing.....

With Uniterm I was able to define the function keys to act like the
function keys and other miscellaneous keys on a vt220 terminal. VERY
necessary if you are doing anything serious with VAX/VMS (I'm the
All-in-1 manager/application developer at my site & the tools
available for this are too cumbersome on anything less than a vt220)

The real question/comment:

	Are people looking for vt220+ functionality or do they just
	want a vt220 style keyboard ? (LK201 or LK401) ??

Hahaha!  I'm sure the people at Motorola would be curious to hear
how you cranked 30-35 MIPS out of a 16mhz 68030.  That is faster
than a Sparcstation (all but the most expensive ones, that is)!
I would be very surprised if it even approached 10 MIPS.

Yes. Eiffel is available for the ST.  in the U.S, it is iavailable from

270 Storke Road
Goleta, CA
93117
USA
T: (805)685-1006
F: (805)685-6869

I got some info sent to me a while back and it seems as the atari version is 
not a true compiler but instead converts Eiffel code to C which can then be
compiled.  Price for Eiffel/S is US$185.

Well _I_ haven't seen a Falcon either, but here are some points that may be
relevant :
	1) You would expect the window scrolling to be slower in true-color or
	   256 color mode, as the computer has to churn through lots more
	   screen memory.  This is true on any platform, although until 
	   recently Atari screen modes have all used the same amount of
	   memory, making comparisons between modes pretty similar.  Remember
	   that a bitmapped 768x480x65536 (true color overscan) will gobble up
	   720KB of memory.
	2) For the normal desktop, you wouldn't really want to run true color,
	   you'd use 16 color (which would be equivalent to TT  medium,
	   640x480x16, with a larger palette) or 256 color at most.  
	   applications which require true color, like raytracing, slideshows,
	   video digitizers, etc. will be able to change the resolution and
	   use the VDI, even if you are not in that resolution.
	3) Someone a few weeks ago reported that they saw a demo Falcon
	   running in 256 color mode, and that it seemed about as fast as
	   the TT in 16 color mode.  This kind of speed is very good for
	   256 colors (if you've never seen a TT in medium res, with Warp 9,
	   it's very fast), especially when you compare it to, say, MS
	   Windows.  :-)   I've seen Windows in 256 color mode and it 
	   _crawls_ terribly.  For a PC you need to buy an expensive
	   graphics accelerator or get a completely different bus 
	   architecture = $$$$.  

Don't mean to degrade this into a PC vs Atari war, but Ataris have always
been fast at video applications, and I don't think the Falcon is any
exception.  :-)

Hi!
	I've been wondering for a while about getting a multisync for
my MegaSTE so I can show low/med/hi res on one screen, and also possibly
get a VME display board at some point.

This month, ST Format has printed the connections to fix an ST to a
VGA multisync monitor - is that a good idea, will it work or is it
worth it me getting a multisync instead? Someday I might get a Falcon
(perhaps the 040 - I don't mind waiting!), so can anyone see any
problems connecting one to a multisync such as the NEC/3D?

Can anyone recommend a VME graphics card for the Mega/STE?

Thanks!!!

From Z*Net 92-17 w/o permission:

 C-LAB FOLDS, EMAGIC TAKES OVER
 Internal company unrest and division has brought C-Lab, developers and
 manufacturers of the most successful Atari MIDI sequencing programs,
 Creator and Notator, to an end.  C-Lab products will be taken over by a
 new company formed by Ensoniq, the US distributors of C-Lab as well as a
 line of electronic hardware for the music industry.  EMAGIC will
 maintain support and development of the Atari platform, and includes
 some of the same people who were C-Lab.  Notator 3.1 was recently hailed
 in Keyboard magazine as the best MIDI sequencing program available for
 any computer.  Announcements from Ensoniq about Emagic include news of
 "Notator Logic" for the Macintosh, to be released before the end of
 1992.  Emagic joins Steinberg/Jones and Barefoot Software as the major
 remaining MIDI developers for Atari computers.  Barefoot formed from the
 Hybrid Arts takeover this summer, and Dr. T's stopped developing for the
 Atari in 1992.  Contact Emagic through Ensoniq Corp, attention David

A friend yesturday said he'd seen the FALCON in Dusseldoff and the screen scrolling
in 'true colour' mode was like glue.   I haven't actually seen a falcon yet but I 
have read most articles on it and this wasn't mentioned.   Since he owns a TT
and is likely to be biased, can anyone else set my mind at rest ???

Thanks - Chris (cdw@dcs.ed.ac.uk)

Hello,

   does anybody out there a library for Pure/Turbo C or Lattice C using which I
can send SCSI commands to devices on the ST DMA bus (especially Harddiscs 
connected to ICD host adapters)?

   I would not like to use SCSIBIOS or similar programs for this...

bye,

    Benedikt

ST-Format had a deal on NVDI a while back, (August Issue I think).  
They seemed to reckon it was a pretty good little package, I'll fish around
and if I can find the details for you!

ST-Format may deal out a lot of garbage info', but some of these soft-
ware deals are quite good!

Has anyone tried the 'Overscan' modification on their ST... If so, was
it worth the trouble, and what advantages does it give.
 
Also, is the EPROM-TOS v1.4 Patch necessary?  (Is EPROM-TOS any different
from normal ATARI-TOS 1.4 or is it the same but an alternative name!?)

I have all the Info' files/pictures (most of which are in German which
is of little use to me, as I can't read German).  And any info would
be appreciated!
