The 260ST was one of first ST-line computers introduced in Germany. It
wasn't just vaporware. I've found many of them in different department 
stores around me. Lateron you could notice some adds in computer magazines 
offering memory upgrades and built in ROMs for the 260ST. The original 
260ST worked with a disk version of TOS.

Just my $.2

I'm surprised that people in Toronto haven't received theirs yet.  Unicorn
mails all mags outside of the US via first class mail (both AC and AIM).
I know mine came first class and I received it about two weeks ago (I live 
somewhat north of Toronto).  In any case, with the recent flurry of posts from 
people just now receiving their copies, it seems everyone should have them in 
the next week or so.

Greetings. I just recently picked up an old Avatex HC 1200bps modem for

what the dip switches on that back are to be set at? Right now, the
modem is really squirrley with the current settings. Any help
appreciated.

I don't know what the bob wooley (sic) rom is, but the CSS XF551 conversion
does not come with a ROM to go in your 'XL.  It comes with parts to be
soldered into your '551.  This (the Bob Puff) conversion to 720k drives
supports high speed I/O.  Note that you need either Sparta DOS or the 
US+ OS to take advantage of high speed I/O.  Your old disks (if you use
5.25) will read only slightly faster.  If you create new disks with the
Ultra-Speed skew, they will read appreciably faster.

Date: Tue, 17 Nov 92 21:31:23 PST
Organization: Indescribable Creations

does anyone out here have a lot of knowledge in interrupts, DLI's, etc?  
I've already asked Jeff Potter about it (I just sent the mesg, so of 
course I haven't gotten a reply yet! :)  ) and about sending me the 
sourcecode to interlaced APAC mode.. what I'm getting at is a 640 x 192 
mode using 16k (14-15 actually) of 320 x 192 (graphics 8) screen and 
flipping between the two...  a breif example of how it works is this:

say you had an 8x8 character bitmap:

 12345678
1 ******
2********
3********
4***  ***
5**    **
6********
7 ******
8

you would first display this (this is NOT using the multi-flipping that 
Ilc'd APAC & colrview use):
 1234
1 ***
2****
3****
4** *
5*  *
6****
7 ***
8

then you'd display this:
 1234
1***
2****
3****
4* **
5*  *
6****
7***
8

together you'd get something like this: 
(assume the background is black and the foreground is light...
 the "*" would be lightest, the "+" would be medium, and the " " would be 
darkest)

 1234
1+**+
2****
3****
4*++*
5*  *
6****
7+**+
8

get it?  anyone interested in such a mode?  it would even work with 
normal graphics 0 screens, not allowing for 80 column text (with 8x8, 
like this does) but for 40 column text, with a rounder feel (16x8x2, sort 
of a 8x8x4!)

and finally, it could even bump up the 4 color 160 x 192 (x96) modes to 4 
color 320 x 192 (x96)...




and of course, nobody forget my original idea for a low-memory 80 column 
text screen!!...  flipping two screens, one with the left (even column 
#'d) characters, the other with the right (odd column #'d)... it'd use 
either a "left" & "right" character set pair, or with the scroll 
registers and a "left" character set...

then if you wanted to display "Hi there!", you'd first show:
"H hr!"         and then
"itee "  ...

c'mon... I don't know how to make this stuff!  anybody up to it!?

The only difference between version 2.19 & 2.20 of SDX is ATARIDOS.SYS
(according to ICD shortly after I bought version 2.19).  There were some
problems reading AtariDOS disk formats with version 2.19.

There is no need to upgrade the SDX ROM to 2.20 though.  Get your hands on
a disk copy of ATARIDOS.SYS version 2.20 (it used to be available through
ICD's BBS), then change your CONFIG.SYS to DEVICE = d:>path>ATARIDOS.SYS 
where d:>path> is the drive and directory where the file is located.  After
booting you will be running version 2.20 of SDX.

I'm pretty sure the PDP-11 was used to write and compile the original

Not to add further kindling to the FLAME, but my issue arrived last week, I
am in Eaton, Indiana [ie. the middle of nowhere] and I received my issue on
like 11/18...  Could NOT have come at a better time... was home sick, and it
gave me a real boost to get it and read it... Yes, it did bring back the
memories!!!

Toad Computers is Severna Park MD. Carries a nearly complete line of 8-bit equipement.  Last time I was there I saw a literal stack of 810's.

The number is (410)544 6943.
