Subject: Hardware upgrades of a 1040STF
Organization: University Of Alberta, Edmonton Canada
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1992 00:58:30 GMT

Greetings,

     I have (beneath my hands) an old (c. 1985) 1040STF.  I am curious about
the potential for upgrade of this machine.  Specifically, memory, TOS (curren-
ly 1.0), and special things (like blitter, and accelerators).  I have been told
that there is a 2.5 M upgrade and a 4 M upgrade, without much detail.  Will
they fit into this tiny case?  How about TOS?  I know 2.06 is around, but how
easy will it be to get into this thing?

     I am curious about the accelerators as well.  The SST board--will or will
not fit?  How about the TinyTurbo '030?  What are my memory requirements for
either of those?  Would I be better off getting a Mega2 STE?  I understand 
the megas have a VME bus--true?  Will the accelerators word on the STE's?
I burn to know the answers to these questions and more!

I've got the program, I've got the translation of the docs
(thanks to someone in New Zealand, I think), and I managed to
squeeze it into my puny 1-meg 1040.

Does anyone know how to use the CRACK FILE (F5) and 
CRACK DISK (F6) functions?

The documentation doesn't say much other than the
functions are used to search through files and disks
looking for graphic data and palettes.

I've loaded a .PRG file hoping to be able to find
the graphics info in there, but have had no luck.

Exactly that. You should use the GNU file utilities (for pwd you only need
`alias pwd cd').

After quite a number of changes, it does. A Pure and GNU C compilant version

Gerry, let me assure you that there is no magic IBM program to transform
the hardware of a data modem to fax.  The fact of the matter is that there
are NO software tricks that can only be done on an IBM.

Have you noticed that Atari, Amiga and Macs can all emulate a MS DOS machine
in software, where the IBM requires hardware to emulate anything! It is, how-
ever, a common misconception that some things can be done only on an IBM PC.

Oddly.. this does seem to be true... since the "new mac superdrives" appear
to be "normal hi density drives" Hence, if you have a hi-density (1.44 meg)
drive in your Mac Emulation box... Fancy GCR goodies are not required unless
perhaps you need to read 800k mac floppies.  Don't know how to get around that
one!

So while GCR limits you to 800k disks... the PC goodies for reading mac disks
limit you to 1.6 (2Meg?) disks.

 > how can I order Flash II
 
 The following is from the Flash II press release:

Here's the deal for ordering your copy.  We'll accept orders for Flash
II using any of the following methods:  

1)  For outright purchases (meaning you aren't going to upgrade from
an older version), the price is $49.95 US plus $4 shipping and
handling.  You can order via:
 
        a)  Telephone:  708-359-9565.  If we don't answer, just leave
the following information on the machine and we'll process your
order:  VISA or MasterCard number, Expiration Date, Name, Address,
City, State, ZipCode, and phone number.  Your charge card will be
billed on the day we ship (which may not be on the day the order is
received, but it *will* be within a day or two!  :-).  If you want us
to call you back to confirm the order before it is place, please note
that on your message.
        b)  Mail:  Your can, of course, mail order your copy of Flash
II.  We'll accept VISA or MasterCard, with the information included
as noted above, or you can send a check or money order (in US funds
please) in with your order.  Please do NOT send cash.  Although I
don't mind receiving cash in the mail, it's really not a safe thing
to do.
        c)  Email:  Email orders to J.TRAUTSCHOL will be accepted as
if it were a telephone order.  Naturally, you must use a charge card
for payment.  I'll confirm your order also via Email, and will not
charge to your card until we actually ship.
 
2)  To upgrade from ANY old version of Flash, you must send us your
old Flash disk as proof of ownership.  It will be returned to you.
Since we need to see proof of ownership for upgrades, you'll have to
do the mail order thing here.  Upgrades are $30 US plus $4 shipping
and handling.  You can pay using either check, money order (in US
funds) or VISA and MasterCard.  When upgrading, you receive *exactly*
the same package as those who pay the full amount.
 
For mail orders, our address is:
 
        Missionware Software
        354 N. Winston Drive
        Palatine, Illinois 60067-4132 USA

He was saying that a few months ago.  In his latest posts, he's been

Stop being a bigot Bill, the same can happen if you are using the old Zoo 2.01
with new Zoo 2.1 files..

Zoo is a Unix port, not all Atari users are Unix nuts, mind you Unix can turn
you nuts..:-)..

Its like the help info in one of the Unix ports that I fond on A.A. it used the
Unix text format with no CR, so is this the way that you freaks program so that
you can't even list the help info in the ttp..??

This was the tarz or compress program that did this, and was not the doc file,
and why can't we have standard Doc files that we can list on the Atari as it
stands, by using the desk top..??

Also Bill you have been out voted here, so live with the fact..

When I start up GUS and log in, I get the message 'Insert disk C: in drive A:'.
I think the message is coming from when GUS calls 'HUSH'.
I don't have any drive C: mentioned anywhere in my config.sys.

When I get the message I take out my data disk, put in a garbage disk,then
I get the message 'Put disk A: in drive A:', at which point I put in my real
data disk.

If I just ignore the message and leave my data disk in, I know from experience
that the floppy will get clobbered. (Trying to write a 'drive C:' FAT to the
floppy).

Anyone know how I can get rid of this message?

I have a friend that has made a sampling synthesizer for the STE/MSTE/TT.
I takes MIDI input. He has also patched PRO24 and Cubase so you can play
MIDI-songs directly. He have 4/8/12/16 channels in 25KHz in polyphonic.
