Subject: easy-to-manipulate joystick?
Date: 6 Jan 93 14:36:19 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation


		My wife has recently gotten quite hot on the idea of
	getting our 4-year-old daughter comfortable with computers. So,
	since I still had my Atari system, I started setting it up for
	my daughter. The only problem we foresee at present is with the
	joystick: I'm not sure which one I have, exactly - it's a tall
	red one, with a white fire button on top of the stick, as well
	as a button on the base - but my daughter finds it very hard
	to manipulate, because her left hand is not strong enough to
	hold the base down hard enough so she can effectively manipu-
	late the stick.

		At one time, I had a nice little joystick: a cube-like
	base, with a small stick that could be manipulated with liter-
	ally just two fingers while you rested your wrist on the base.
	The stick moved so easily, you didn't need to hold the base
	down at all. Something like this would have been perfect for
	my daughter, but - unfortunately - that particular joystick
	broke some years ago.

		Anyway, what I was wondering is: can anyone point me to
	a source for some easy-to-manipulate joystick appropriate for
	my daughter? Or, if anyone happens to have a joystick like the
	one I described in my 2nd paragraph... would you consider sell-
	ing it?

		Thanks for any help.

Okay, I got some questions about this program:

Is the documentation in German, or has it been translated to English?
Are the messages and menus and stuff that S.A.M. shows on the screen
in English?
This CAD program, what sort of screen resolution is it?
Is it basically a drawing package where you  put things on one graphics
8 screen, or can you create a page that is 4 screens wide by
6 screens long, draw on it, and then print it out on a printer at a 
high resolution?
How much does it cost, and is it available to us U.S. users?

well, I decided to fix as6502 to output the object file
in atari format.  I just put it up on the archive,
in 8bit\New\as6502_atari.tar.Z (use uncompress then tar xf
on unix to unarchive).  I included a msdos exe.

I'm thinking about hacking it a bit more - to make it more
like MAC65 - would there be any interest in this?  Probably
won't have time though.

Okay, now that there are two QWK readers out there, what in whe world
are these used for?  I gather frm bits and pieces that there are some
BBS systems out there that allow downloading of e=mail, and offline
reading, and then responding to these messages, the new mail then 
being uploaded back to the BBS system, thus saving online time and money.
Okay, so what BBS systems use this?  Does anyone have a list that would be
of particular interest to us 8 bit users?  
Are there QWK supporting BBSes that are also linked to the Internet, 
allowing sending/receiving of Internet e-mail and possibly access to 
USENET groups such as comp.sys.atari.8bit?

I'm an enquiring mind, and I guess i want to know.

Okay, let me get this straight, as6502 works, it assembles the
assembly language, and produces something like:

FF FF 1B 3C 4A A2 A3

Written as a text file... where the above would be 20 bytes long, and 
if you read it as numbers, you would read the following:

70 70 32 70 70 32 49 66 32 51 67 32 52 65 32 65 50 32 65 51

Makebin.c was supposed to take the text file, and turn it into 
an actual binary file.  But it didn't, and now you want to make 
a program that does.... is this correct?

there were some form of adapter I could use to convert the floppy
connector (on this 8" drive, its a *50* pin connector) to the hard drive
port on my MIO.  I'm sure there HAS to be a way. 50 pin is 50 pin!

Almost every major IBM BBS system supprots some form of offline reading. 
There are two major types, MegaPackets (used with the MegaMail offline
reader) and QWK packets.  QWK's seem to have become the defacto standard
for the off line reader in the IBM world.  I have not loged on to a major
or for that matter, many minor systems that didn't have Qwk's available.

To run either PabQwk or QwkSilver, you need 128k of memory or better, neither
will run on stock 800xl systems.  At this time, QwkSilver will not run under
any form of SpartaDos as there is a VBI conflict in it's on screen timer.  I
have spoken to Bobby Clark about this and it looks like he may be planing to 
the Time$ function in TurboBasic for the next release.  

I've use both programs to read packets for FidoNet, WWIVnet, Fnet (through 
ZnetOnline) and Rime.  I've used packets from all major Qwk tossers, 
SFQwk (SpitFire), JetMail (SpitFire), Qmal4 (PcBoard), Maxis (ST), and 
Synchronet.  All arc'd packets unarced with Bob Puff's SuperUnarc have
worked just fine.

If there is anything I can do to help anyone get started with these
programs, let me know.  I talk to both authors from time to time,
so can pass on any ideas, problems, and addition.

Huh?  WHAT "round-type modem jack on back of 800xl?"  The only "round" jacks
on the back of any 800XL -I'VE- ever seen, are the power input socket and the
composite-video (monitor) socket.  Which of the following is true?
  a) you misspoke
  b) you're confused
  c) you're using an 800XL modified in some means I've never previously heard 
  d) you're not using an 800XL but something else entirely (see (a) and (b)).

Yes.  Other sites may happen to have an Atari program or two, but 'the'
FTP site almost certainly means the umich.edu archive.

Floppy drives and hard drives are VERY different creatures.  You would
NEVER be able to run that 8 inch floppy off of a SCSI port.

There are two ways you can run that 8 inch floppy on your 8-bit:

1) With an ATR-8000
2) With a CSS Black Box that has the Floppy Board upgrade.  The Floppy
Board will let you run pretty much any floppy drive on the 8-bit,
including 1.44MB and 1.2MB high density.

comp-sys-atari-8bit@ucbvax.berkeley.edu used to, or b) Get that Digest
software to automatically cross-post to Usenet, like it should have been
doing all along.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Remember that it's John Dunning,
jrd@stony-brook.scrc.symbolics.com that maintains the Digestifier.

Arggh... this is frustrating for me, but could anyone REMIND me of the correct
address for file requests (not FTP, but the mailer) at atari.archive?  I just
moved and can't find the info.

Thanks.

Well back again...

As for holding option down (or not), the Atari
still hangs after 3 blocks, but:-

After looking at the disk created by diskcomm with a sector
editor, I found that EVERY sector had its 3rd byte set to $82.
Looks as if my copy of diskcomm is corrupted.

Thanx for the help,
Mark
