Didn't Michtron have a similar device a few years back??  It seems to me
I remember such a device.  There are a cartridge which pluged into the
cartridge port with two cables at the other end that pluged into your
vcr.  If I remember it was slow and there was a limit as to how big a
file would copy to the video tape.

a) the Seagate ROMS (296N anyway) have a problem...  You must set all drives
in a system to an EVEN id to prevent problems, I've combined 296n(s) using IDs
of 0,2 and 2,4 with no problems.  I got "the cure" via Tech. Info. at ICD.

b) the Seagate 296n drives I use are MUCH faster at 2:1 interleave.  I'd
reccomend you leave the interleave at 2:1 for now.  If you want to test 1:1,
be prepared to change it back!  Again... this is a ROM problem, but I know of
an update (by Seagate) to fix this.  Don't see any socketed ROMs on my 296n
though... so I live w/o the fix.

Hope this helps!

I have a vintage 1040st which has been a faithful friend for
many years.  A few days ago, when I turned it on I noticed
that the floppy sounded strange.  The system was obviously
not booting up either.
 
To my dismay, I discovered that the spindle of the floppy
drive was no longer turning.  The head positioning motor
was working ok, and the drive light was on, but no spin.
 
All drive cables are connected firmly and seem ok.
Rotating the spindle manually turned it (not stuck)
but did not seem to have any helpful effect.
 
The system boots up fine from the external HD.
 
Am I looking at a bad drive?  A bad controller?  A bad PS?
Or some other bad dream?
 
Thanks in advance,
Brian

	Sorry to be ignorant of such matters, but I presume this is a 
one-way pipe, or do I just set read/write flags to make it two way (I
may not want a Client-Server model - just to be difficult!)

If not is there any way other than using one for reading and another
for writing for creating a two-way pipe. Who said 'ignorance was bliss'
I'll shoot them :-)

The server is the one that has to create the pipe. In the server you
should have code like:

   fd = Fcreate("U:\\PIPE\\SOMENAME",flags);

The clients would then open "U:\PIPE\SOMENAME" and write requests to it;
when the server does an Fread() call on the file descriptor it received
above, it will receive those requests. There are various flags that can
be set in the "flags" field; see the MiNT documentation for details, but
likely flags=0 would be sufficient for most applications.

The MiNT utility programs lpr and lpd provide an example of how to
do interprocess communication; source code for these is available on
atari.archive in the file mntutl95.zoo.

Organization: Institut f. Physikalische Chemie
X-Software: HERMES GUS 1.03 Rev. Apr 14 1992

Dear netters,

  I have a little problem with two SCSI discs on my host adaptor: 
they won't work together with addresses 0 and 1.

  Some details: The drives (a ST 157N and ST 296N) are connected to a 
GE-soft adaptor. The first is configured as SCSI device 0, the second 
as device 1. The software is from Digital Systems Krueger (Version 
3.2). The problem: write access to the first device (the ST157N) 
crashes the FAT and DIR.

Everything works fine if:
- the drives are used solely;
- the second drive is configured as #2 or higher.

So I can work with it, but I'm curious: What may be wrong ?

  Is it absolutely necessary to remove the resistor packs ? If so, 
which drive ? The physically last or the logically last one (which is 
different in that case) ?


Also:

   I need to reformat the ST 296N on a low level, since it stems from a 
PC, where it was formatted with interleave 2.

  Is there some PD/Shareware/commercial package out to do that for me ? 
I checked AHDI5 but it doesn't. I heard about "SCSI-Tools" from
Hard&Soft in Castrop-Rauxel, but I don't know if the DM 149.- (~ $100) are
worth it ? Any experiences ?

Thanks for any hint,
                    Thomas.

Yes, it is absolutely necessary that you remove the terminating resistor 
packs on all but the last physical drive in the SCSI chain.

Hi All-

I've attempted, on a couple of occasions, to write silly little games
for my own amusement.  What I always run into, though, is terrible,
terrible performance when I try to put objects on the screen and
animate them.  My mind keeps going back to that ST classic
"Megaroids," which was claimed to have been written in C (although I'm
not positive that they didn't use assembler in there somewhere).  How
do you, the readers of comp.sys.atari.st.tech, get good performance
when doing sprites?  *Must* I use assembler, or can it be done in C?
(My problem is that I don't know assembler...)  On a related topic, I
remember a long discussion between (I think) Dave Baggett and somebody
else, on the topic of double-buffering & handling it during vbl and so
on...  Is double-buffering pretty much the only way to give animated
games that "smooth" look?  If so, I would imagine that assembly is
required there, too...

Thanks for any and all input!
John

P.S.  How do y'all handle keyboard input?  i.e. How can I detect when
      multiple keys are in the down position?  How can I turn every
      key into a "shift-like" key, so that the player can hold it down
      as long as he/she wants to without it going into repeat mode, etc.?

Thanks again!

Does such a peripheral exist which could be connected in the serial port
(or any other std port) and used with tar (for example)
This would permit to use it on PC, Atari, Unix, and so on (no driver 
needed)

The Falcon makes use of the 68030's built-in "memory protection".  This is the
primary reason that you are not likely to see an official Atari MultiTOS upgrade
for the 68000 series machines.
