Well, fine fact. The PRO level seems to be the one that doesn't require an ICD
host adaptor connected.

Besides, the combination AHDI 6.03 and HDX 5.01 works fine for any drive I
tried so far, on all machines with SCSI port.
This includes 128 MB Sony MO, 88 MB Syquest, various fixed HD drives.
Streamers will require special drivers for their purpose.

The only problem you might have on ACSI based systems is that Atari's software
cannot recognize 'big' drives (above ~120 meg) without a matching line in
the WINCAP parameters file. ICDs software will format and partition correctly,
without manual work.

Well, to post a private letter to a public network isn't very mature IMHO.
Just think about it: Would YOU want YOUR private letters posted to a
newsgroup? I don't think so! You might argue that a person should be able
to stand for his opinions no matter if it's a public statement or a
private letter, but I really don't think many people are able to truthfully
say they fill that criteria.

If you have a problem with Darek then discuss it DIRECTLY with him. To use
a private letter for starting a flamewar is only going to make you look
stupid infront of the rest of the usenet-world.

	Well, Canadian support is still far better than the US, though that
could change now Atari's shut down Atari Canada. 2 years ago we probably
had more Atari stores here in Vancouver than you had on the US Eastern
seaboard, and there were more in Toronto than here.

I think c.b.a.s. should stay in comp.binaries, but the

Hi.  I too, have just started experimenting with the MiNT distribution
kit, and am experiencing some problems that I hope someone can help me
with.

The installation requires that a Minix partition be set up.  For ease,
I've decided to use my D:\ partition.  The installation first puts MiNT
and Minix (via the file minix.xfs) on to the boot partition, and then
has the user reboot.  At this point, it appears it tries to initialize
the floppy drive as a Minix partition.  Thereafter, any time I reboot
with an unprotected floppy in the A: drive, when minix.xfs is run, the
floppy is corrupted.  I can't tell if D: has been changed to a Minix
partition or not.

So, my questions are,
	1) Does anyone know of any problems with the distribution kit
install?
	2) Is there a special program I should be using to set up a
Minix partition?
	3) Is there a method of testing a partition, to see if it is
Minix?
	4) Is there something specific I have to do to minix.xfs, to
stop it from blasting my floppy drive?

Any help anyone can give would be great.

Thanks,

Mike.

Hi Dave,

how are you?

I tried to install your port of KA9Q here on my STE4, but I was not lucky.
Me and the System manager of the comp center spent some time, we even installed
a spy to watch the serial line.

I use CoNnect (I also tried RUFUS) as terminal program. A Supra V32bis modem is
connected to the modem1 port, and everything works fine: I log in into my host,
start the slip program (it is an SCO server which handles connects to and from
outside university - X.25 and modems) and then start the net.ttp from within
the terminal program.
But: not any sign seems to pass through the AUX: port, the spy does not watch
     anything!

Could you please mail me a config file which works on your site?

I try to install the serial port as follows:
---- /dev/c/net.rc -----------
ip addr [134.96.6.16]
attach asy AUX: 0 slip sl0 1024 512 9600
domain suffix uni-sb.de
domain addserver [134.96.7.7]

I also added /dev/c/domain.txt after inserting my ip address at the end.

What is wrong?

net.ttp does not send signs to AUX: if MiNT is installed or not, it doesn't 
mind at all.


Any good idea???


greetings   Bernhard

A while back, some were talking about doing gray scales in TT Low-rez (256
colors).  I experimented with this and found many shades of gray, but I
couldn't figure out exactly how the red-green-blue values in a setcolor 
statement affected the shade (this is, of course, with the colors set to 
"Gray" on the control panel).

Does anyone know specifically how this works?

Seems that no-one else suggested this. Use the "novice" command -extract
None of these are case sensitive so they will work on both the command line

-extract archvename file.....

And there is a difference between zoo h & zoo H. Look carefully. H gives
*much* more info & does not include the novice commands.
Here is the first `page' of each command

Has anyone else with a MegaSTE run into a problem with Spectrum Holobyte's
Flight of the Intruder simulator/game?  I sent Email to HOLOBYTE on GEnie
concerning this, but I've heard how much Spectrum Holobyte cares about
supporting atari these days, so I better not hold my breath...

My setup is a Mega4STE with TOS v. 2.06, 50Meg internal Seagate IDE, 
85Meg external Seagate SCSI (ICD host), and 88Meg Syquest (also SCSI).
I know the software works fine on my "old" 1040ST, even off of the external
hard drive.  But whenever I run it on the MegaSTE, the screen goes blank
right after I enter the correct password from the documentation.  And the
drive a: floppy light goes on, as if it's accessing that drive.  I have
tried this with both game disks in the drive (no, not both at once 8^>  ),
but to no avail.  I have also removed all accessories and the AUTO folder,
so I can't see where something else is interfering (no TSR's).  I have
tried to run from drive E: (IDE), drive H: (SCSI), and drive A: (floppy).
Still N.G.  And when I try to boot from the floppy, I get 4 bombs.  Out of
desperation, I have unplugged my MIDI cables and kept my DeskJet powered
off, but there is no difference in the result.  Does anyone out there have
any idea what gives??  The manual explicitly says that the program will
run on a MegaSTE...  (just not _my_ Mega STE...  B^0   )

Of course, the *day after* Atari goes bankrupt, you just have to get rid
of your ST. NOT.

Also, it may be fine to have something like Gemulator around *after*
Atari is dead, because it is then not hurting Atari hardware sales.
However, before they're dead, it just helps people abandon ship.

Hey, post the number...  I'll order one (what's $15 on your credit

My thoughts to that point (thinking more generally) are that MOST people don't
NEED to program in GNU C++.  This places a hard-drive back into the nice-but-
still-a-luxury catagory.  Sorry, it's still $$ (and a maybe a smattering of
nostalgia) that holds me out of the clone-realm.  I'll probably cross the
threshhold some time after a hard-drive for this ST costs more than a complete
clone system.  And that's not likely to happen soon.

I believe someone said something about that being a beta copy, or unliscenced
or something.  Of course pirating is not so unfamiliar to many clone users.


Anywho, it sounds like you're on the right track.  Buy what you need.  Use
will-power.  Buy only what you need.  The clone-realm is prone to draw a man to
gadget hell.  Look at them, look at what Atari can do, look at what MAC can do.  
Good luck!

Maybe I should post this to one of the mac groups too, but I will
start here.  I am currently using Zterm (version .9 or something like
that) with Spectre.  I would like to be able to enter two different
key sequences that I have not been able to figure out.

How do I send and ESC key?  For example, I need to send and ESC when I
am in emacs.  The ESC key does not seem to function as an escape key
under Mac emulation.

How do I send a ^_ (that is control-shift-underbar).  The key sequence
is used in Pine (to switch to alternative editor).

A quick browsing thru my Spectre docs did not get me anywhere.  Is
this a limitation of the Mac or Z-term that is causing my frustration?

Also does anybody suggest that I scrap Z-term for a superiour
(share/free-ware) program ?

Looks like one of the files is in TOS format (Carriage Return / Line
Feed pairs at the end of every line) and the other is in UNIX format
(just a Line Feed at the end of the line).  Try converting either
tip.c or the patch file to the format of the other, ithe patch should
work then...

Binaries are no longer of great use, at least not having a specific
group for them.  Maybe just dropping the group, and if there is anything
of *great* importance, send it through comp.sys.atari.st or post
it on an FTP site (probably atari.archive.umich.edu) and inform everyone
of where it is!

90% of the binaries seemed to end up on FTP sites, (or came from them
to start with), so call is not really too greatTNW
