Of course, in this ever-changing, never-boring Atari community, news 
isn't news until something really happens, I guess. :^)  You'll see I posted
a few messages back that Ron. R from AA said that someone would be taking
over Atari Advantage.  What a mess!  I think I just won't say anymore until

Hello you all !
Does someone knows something about MINT for Atari ?
What it is, how to use, where to get and so on.
Please post your knowledge here or send me a mail.
This time I use an Atari Mega St 2 with 30 MB Hard-
disk. Is it poosible to use MINT- is it perhaps a UNIX
like shell ? Or what is it ?

	I have two Mac 128K ROM's for sale. I had intended to use them
for Spectre GCR but have decided to do something else. If anyone is 
interested the chip numbers are:

8841bv o r2424			8842av o r1702
23512-1055			23512-1054
342-0342-b			342-0341-c

Both are VLSI chips and are copywrited by Apple from '83 to '86. 
Both chips came from a 1989 era Mac plus and are compatible with all
the new Apple software. They are also the correct chips for Spectre
GCR.

			I am asking about $225 for the pair.

Date: 30 Jul 92 08:46:57 GMT
Organization: Sacramento Public Access Unix

I've been agonizing over this point, but I have not found many
answers, so here goes.

The price of 14.4 kbps modems have dropped to (relatively) cheap
levels in the past year, and now the ones I have seen are "only"
$150 more than the 9600 bps modems. But most of the terminal
programs that I know of only have a 9600 bps setting, then it
jumps to the 19.2 kbps setting with nothing in between, namely the
14.4 kbps setting.

Does anyone know of a program that uses the 14.4 kbps setting?

Interlink ST- no
Transfer 1.2 (.ACC)- no
Atari TOS 1.2 control panel- no

Flash? GIME terminal? VT-100 even?

(Don't use baud anymore- with high speed modems, the term becomes
inaccurate. bps (bits per second) is the preferred convention)

What's wroing is that Bill, like me, didn't read the C++ Reference Manual
very carefully.

Templates are not "compiled".  That doesn't make any sense.  Templates can
only be compiled once they have been instanciated.  Here is the usual usage:


main.cc:

   #include <SetTempl.cc>

   main()
   {
     Set<int> MyIntSet;
     ...
   }


SetTempl.cc:

   #include <SetTempl.h>

   template <class T>
   Set::Set()
   {
     ...
   }


SetTempl.h:

   template <class T> class Set {
    ...
   };

   Try View Gif 1.2 - I believe it lets you convert between a number of
graphics formats.  There *might* also be a converter to do what you want
in DMJ GIF 3.0.  Both should be available at atari.archive.umich.edu...

I installed one of these in my STe last fall. You get a little baggie of some
94 or so replacement rubber caps. Needless to say, it's somewhat tedious to
install. (Not to mention the 26-or-so screws that hold the keyboard itself
together.) But aside from the tedium it isn't all that difficult, and does
feel a bit better, i.e., it's definitely better than that totally mushy feel
it had before.

There is a shareware program called FASTGIF that will convert a GIF
to a .PI1 file, and from there, I suppose you can load it into
Degas, and then save it as a .PI3.

STalker 3.02 lets you set the ST's port to 19200, and then of course the
modems will negotiate the actual speed between them.  On Modem and Serial
ports 2 on the MSTE/TT, STalker will let you set some astronomical settings;
I can't remember exactly, but one is around 150Kbps, and there are a few
others in that realm.

You are entitled to believe anything you want from these people.  But
c'mon!  Really!  Do you honestly think you'll be able to buy a Falcon
in '91???  You'll be able to see them at shows.  You'll hear about them
being sold in Europe.  You'll even be able to order one.  But you aren't
gonna have it in your hands this year.

We're talking Atari here!  Believe me, I'm one of the most hardcore
pro Atarians you've ever met.  But I don't trust the company as far
as I can spit.  They're a bunch of rank amateurs who couldn't turn
Atari around if their lives depended on it.

Falcons readily available to the buying public THIS YEAR????  POPPYCOCK.

 have u tried formatting the disks before and then setting vault to
`don't format'?  i'm not sure about high density but for those `strange'
10 sector formats etc that worked just fine...  only thing is it didn't
like 1 sector per cluster if i remember right.  (if you need a good
formatter program, try a recent version of PumpUp from Claus Brod.)

>of a PD program which can use high density drives? TIA...

 well the _fastest_ backup program i know still is tar.  so if you're
not afraid of CLIs, try GNU tar (on a.a)...but do read the docs first.
(this is `the' general archiver on un*x, works on files, tapes,
disks...everything you have a driver for.  the key to speed on floppies
is to increase the block factor (-b), only problem is it has to be a
factor of the disk size, ie no._blocks / block_factor must be an
integer or else multivolume archives (more data than fits on one disk,
-M) don't work.  at least this was so with an older version, don't know
about the latest.)

 remember, be sure you get GNU tar, all other atari tars i have seen
are a joke at best...

 ah, one other thing: if you want to exchange tarred floppies with un*x
boxes then you need a `raw' floppy driver like ps0.zoo in a.a's mint
directory (needs MiNT).  if that is not an issue you can just write
files, then you only lose a few blocks. (ie tar cfvb a:/something.tar ...
instead of tar cfvb /dev/something ...)

 and, cause that just happened to me: beware of bootsector viruses,
the `bootsector' on raw tarred floppies is the tar header of the first
file!  (at least then tar still gets the other files out, unlike other
archivers...)

	Hi!

some people were interested in the project "Eprom Disk" the german 
magazine C'T published some time ago.

I looked it up and found a lot of paper :-), so I don't post any of the 
articles, but I think if someone has further interests in this subject, he 
(she) should post this and tell the rest of the people who want to know 
about it, that he (she) is willing to email 'ct@ix.de' to ask for the 
possibilities to get the articles mentioned further on and the software 
accompanied. Here, I must tell you, that the main part of the software, 
mainly the driver program for the 512kB (1MB) eprom disk wasn't published 
in the magazine, due to the length of the source text. These programs are 
only available on disk, or perhaps via ftp from:

  o ftp.uni-paderborn.de
  o ftp.uni-regensburg.de
  o ftp.uni-duesseldorf.de (after 1800 [0600pm] local time)

if one of these servers archives the files, for they are rather old :-)

Ok, here are the results of my research:

c't issue  |  contents
-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------
  1/86     | 128 kByte Eprom-Bank. This only shows how to connect the 
           | 128kByte available at the Rom Port.

 12/86     | These two issues describe some software to deal with the 
           | 128kByte Eprom described in 1/86. 12/86 describes a block

  7/87     | a universal interface, to connect IBM-PC-bus cards and

ICD utilities that wouldn't allow for >16M partitions.  So, I used the new

can't seem to access the clock properly.  Do you know why this is and how
i might be able to get to the clock?  Perhaps the old ICD utils are not
compatible with the new Atari utils I used to format it (???).
	Also, the manual that came with this vintage 1987 drive state that
the COPYFIX.PRG program should be in the \AUTO folder to fix the TOS bug
that doesn't update the time on copied files.  Was this fixed in TOS1.4 (ie.
do I need it)?

Twice as much power is really nice and a hard drive is unavoidable
unless you're only playing games. A 1040 STE is not so cheaper than a 
mega STE (with the same hard drive): the SCSI adapter is not included
in the 1040.
And of course as a secondary effect, you get TOS 2.06, separate and better keyboard, VME bus and sometimes 1.44M disk drive !

You are right. GemView Versions later than 1.1i April-08-1992 are buggy and
do not work correctly on graphics boards.
Please use the April-08-1992 Version. It works fine on my Spektrum graphic
board with 256 Colors, HighColor and TrueColor.

Shall I finally clarify this so that everyone understands?

Some person who I don't recall at this point posted something to the effect
that the Falcon would sell for less than the A600, which he priced at
399 pounds... 

Does everyone understand this?  Good.  Now, I will eat my boots if this
turns out to be the case.
