What a quote... :-)

A simple question: Is the computer connected to ground/earth?

I've had the same problem on two systems.
The first was an Aquarius computer which wasn't able to read 
data casettes with a casette recorder. After I discovered that reading
succeeded when the TV (monitor) was switched off, I made the computer
connected to the ground. It worked, the computer was even capable of
reading bad casette tapes from other persons, that it wasn't able to
read before.

The second one is my Atari ST I'm using now. The harddisk gave trouble,
and after I connected all metal cases and the ground of the power supplies
to the gound/earth there was no problem anymore. The same applies to 
a friend's ST (another configuration). I believe that computers
and especially the high-frequency connections are very
sensitive for radio interference and magnetic fields.

Maybe you can give it a try......... I hope it works.

Does anyone out there have experience hooking up a bernoulli 10 Meg

I wonder if the standard host adapter to SCSI is enough?

Will it boot (does any hard drive "boot" on an ST, or do you use a boot disk)? 

Thanks,

A few days ago I got an ATARI 1040ST for free. Unfortunately it died yesterday.
My first guess was a failure of the power supply, since neither the floppy disk
drive starts nor the LED flashes. After opening up the case, I found a power
supply made by 'TAIWAN LITON', 'MODEL NO: PE-2350-2'. One IC
(labeled GE, H11AV, 1A, 8836) misses pin no. 6. Now my question: is this
correct ? Or could this happened during transportation ?
Are there any other things I should check ?

Thanks in advance,

Claus

Over the weekend, I picked up a 520 ST. When I turn it on, the screen flashes
white for a fraction of a second, then goes black. The computer doesn't seem
to be looking at the drive (looking for a boot disk), so I assume TOS exists
in ROM (this is my first experience with an ST.) Shouldn't I get some sort
of display here? I opened the case and checked all the voltages. Everything
checks out. I noticed a bunch of empty sockets off to the right. There were
2 ROM (?) chips installed, but I suspect there may be more necessary (?)

Suppose I write a snazzy motif-like GUI, how do I hook into GEM so that I

1. How do I find the full (menu entry) names of the available DAs?

2. How do I find the 8 char names for appl_find()?

3. Is it sufficient to just to send the DA a suitable message thru its pipe
or does more need to be done to get it active?

This is just an idea as I have no docs to check...

After intercepting the call, could you not check the keyboard to see what the
last character was?  It should still be there (somewhere) to tell you what
had happened.

Just a thought...

 yes no wonder, the 50 Hz interrupt is level 6 (MFP)...  if you run
there for too long you sooner or later get receiver overruns on serial
ports and other nasty things.  (even atari themselves didn't get that
right: try reading a midi dump whild moving the mouse... :-( :-(  btw,
does anyone know if `multitos' has that fixed?)

 well do you really _need_ the high priority?  i mean would something
seriously break if the routine wouldn't be executed exactly every 20ms?
if not the solution is simple: use MiNT and make the thing a daemon...
(timing with usleep()/select() and maybe clock().)

 otherwise you probably need a real-time OS... :-(

Your book is (unfortunately) wrong.  The following code should compile and
execute under any C compiler.  The name of a function evaluates to the
address of the function just like the name of an array does.


#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
   void (*jumpto)();		/* A pointer to a function. */
   void sec_on();		/* Declare that the sec_on function exists. */

   jumpto = sec_on;	/* Set the pointer to the address of the function*/
   jumpto();		/* Execute the function that's at the address
			 * pointed to by the pointer.
			 */
   return(0);
}

void static sec_on()		/* this is the silly little function */
{
  printf(" this is sec_on()\n");
}

This is standard C stuff.  Another good source of help with C is the group 
comp.lang.c.  It is full of people who don't know GEM or TOS, but can answer 
C questions.

August 3rd, I have also read that they intend to do another article.

Also Computer Shoper (USA) has some Atari articles, one was on GEM
I think, and another one about Atari in a later magazine, but this is
all from memory, this I read on a Z-Net feed..

Also from what I have just heared that Atari is droping computer
sales here in New Zealand and in Australia..

The only thing that will be sold is the Lynx in OZZ and NZ, the Atari line of
Computers are now way over priced, even the Falcon will not be sold here..??

	I discovered that today, after cleaning off enough HD space to
