 Atari just stated the keyboard controler wouldn't overrun
anymore, and it would allow 300 DPI mouses to be connected.
 I think they use an enhanced version of their old chip.

 Enjoy.

Don't be silly, if there is such an error on the board, it could be fixed
in 5 minutes with simple tools. Sounds more like a typo in the diagram though.

Otherwise it is a perfect third-party opportunity for an adapter unit :-)

The copy of "m demo 4" on the various ftp sites will not work properly
(or load disk 2) without the 50HERTZ.PRG program!

It's up on the atari archive, I dunno where.

P.S. I understand the confusion, everything seems to work except the
Union part and the Disk 2 loader.

The minimum block size is:

Partitition size	Minimum block size
<16 MB				1024 bytes
<32 MB				2048 bytes
<64 MB				4096 bytes
<128 MB				8192 bytes
<256 MB			   16384 bytes

If your partition is 105 MB the block size is 4096 bytes, not 1024.
So you loose a lot of capacity, indeed.

>one partition of 105 Mb.
Bad software if it doesn't work with all partition sizes.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me why I can't FTP to atari.archive.umich.edu. I've tried using
the internet address too but that doesn't work either. Here's the responses I
get:

Command> ftp atari.archive.umich.edu
atari.archive.umich.edu: unknown host

Command> ftp 141.211.164.8
ftp: connect: Host is unreachable

I can and have used BART but would much prefer FTP. How do I post stuff to a.a
if FTP access is not possible ??

Thanks,

Well, the entire ST/Macintosh/Amiga platforms were 16-bit computers, and they
certainly were superior to the previous 8-bit platforms from Atari/Commodore/
Apple and the entire IBM PC platform (an 8086 was an 8-bit processor trying
to emulate/work like at 16-bit processor).

The problem was this: most people had finally gotten into computers, the 8-bits.
The US market was developing, and the new 16-bit computers had to compete not
only amongst themselves, but with the older 8-bits which still existed in a
vigorous (and cheaper) portion of the market.  You needed a more sophisticated
consumer to research the new technology (the 16-bits) and spend more money for
it rather than go with a well established 8-bit market that an Atari exec once
characterised as so cheap in price as to be an "impulsive" buy!  There was no
consumer brand loyalty as well as a lot of new consumers in the market.

>My analysis has been that the Tramiels planned on the "demise" of the ST in
>the US.  I don't think they planned this from the beginning in 1985, ...

I agree, but for different reasons: the market I described above was the US in
the mid to late 80s.  Europe was a new and underdeveloped computer market at
this time.  Atari and Commodore aggessively went into Europe with the 16-bits
and succeeded in capturing significant portions of that new market.  Their
computers were much cheaper and just as powerful (if not moreso) as the Macs
and IBMs: they were positioned perfectly.  Atari shifted its focus to Europe
because it was a profitable and expanding market with less competition than
the US market.  Production quantities of the ST went to Europe, it had priority
over the US market, which had begun to shrink for Atari.  In reality, the ST
market died in the US.  What little attention Atari did have in the US was
probably spent on production and development of the STacy/TT/STe/Mega STe/Lynx.
The Jaguar/Panther, ST Book, and Falcon R&D are more 90's work than the 80's.
Atari supposedly also has done research in pen computing, but we're not seeing
any of that now.  In short, Atari gave up on the ST in the US only.

The Falcon and Atari now?  Why bother to speculate, we'll see very shortly how
things develop.  I do think Atari is doing things better so far.  But I'm going
to wait for the next Falcon platform release and observe the software/hardware
base develop before I commit money into the computer market again.

Does anyone remember the hype about the conversion of the arcade game
Outrun to the ST and other computers?  If I remember correctly there
was some ridiculous delay between all the hype and the game actually
being out (6 months of so?), although from the shows I went to this
didn't stop the distributors from taking hundreds of advance orders.
Sadly the conversion was one of the worst I've ever seen (if I
remember correctly).

Not that I was reminded of this by all this hype about the Falcon or
anything....

Mark

P.S From what I've heard so far, I'd love to have a Falcon by the way.
I've even got a piece of code that was orignally written for the ST,
but had to be shelved due to lack of CPU speed, that has just been
waiting for this sort of machine to come along.

I don't have it, but those that do swear by it.

(NeoDesk 3.0 also has macro capabilities, but those are only limited to NeoDesk,

The difference might not be large, but there certainly are a difference. 
Another reason to go for IDE just came to my mind: availability! The
2.5" IDE drives are used in most notebook computers, and i do not
know of any using 2.5" SCSI drives.

Well, the IDE interface was developed for the ST-Book, so it was no extra cost
in the Falcon project i guess. I've not seen the schematics of the Falcon and
the ST-Book, but the IDE interface is probably only a extra PAL working 
together with the blitterchip. After all IDE isn't that a complex buss.

They DID get approval, though not until they'd already sold a bunch (my TT has
an extra sticker on the bottom saying it has--the original sticker didn't).
But I don't know how valid it is--the TV, which is about 10ft. away goes nuts
whenever my hard drive is accessed.

The thing that 'jumps' out at me is that two more Atari employees are getting
out.

I'm sure a lot of parallel development has been going on at Atari WRT to the
Falcon line. This _should_ ensure a reasonable release date for the Falcon040
but the release of the Falcon030 now gives them plenty of time to gauge some
changes before then.

I think the Falcon line of computers has the potential to save Atari but only
with proper marketing. Something Atari has not done since the birth of the ST
in 1985.
