Frontier Software's 'Xtra-Ram' always gets good reviews. I installed one in
my Mega 1 (TOS 1.2) and would strongly recommend it.
It's advertised (correctly) as a "solderless" upgrade, but this does mean that
a few connections to some resistors are made using small jump-leads; I
preferred to solder some wire connections instead.
See their adverts in the usual ST 'zines for details.

The harware emulations are more than a chip. They are complete PCs
on a board that connects to the 68K and takes over the buss except
for one that plugs into the DMA port. Most are more expensive than
buying an XT.

Oh no!! Is the ST really dead, as signified by the vacant space? Few years ago,
when I was in the market for a computer, I had seriously considered the ST
as an option.I had always been fond of Atari as an Atari 400/800 owner. The ST
graphic interface I was fascinated with at the time,
was priced right, sufficiently fast, and played good games. So where is it
now? Remember the ST-vs-Amiga thing? I suppose that was the beginning of the
end for the Atari. The two machines were targeting the same audience, and
Commodore clearly had the superior hardware. Waat disappointed me most about
Atari was their reaction to this fact. They had ample opportunities to
make up for the initial disadvantage. Instead, they just crammed more
memory into the existing architecture (the Mega STs) as if that would solve
the problem, then they wasted precious R&D $ in miscellaneous failures
(remember the portable ST and the notebook DOS compatible that actually
was featured in Terminator 2?). Then they went off into the video game
industry (their place of origin) but never could regain their former stature.
The sad tale of Atari computers is a modern tragedy indeed....

No doubt about it. Just look at the virtual lack of new posts to
comp.sys.atari.st on a daily basis as compared to the multitude of
different comp.sys.amiga.etc etc etc posts. Nothing else points out so much
as to the demise of the ST as thiss does. Even when there ARE are few
new messages, a good portion of them are from people trying to dump their
Atari equipment as fast as possible. Inour market, about the only way to
get rid of an ST is to give it away. I feel EXTREMELY lucky to have dumped
my STe for the measly sum of $350 (including a monochrome monitor and an
external drive) about two months ago. I'm positive the price I could
receive now would be even less.
There's not even a glossy independently produced magazine published in the US
for the ST.

I am beginning to install gcc, and have a couple questions. I know it
uses a lot of memery, I have 4 megs installed. Is this enough for large
applications? Or will this too run out pretty quickly?
I did get hello.c to compile correctly, but when I tried it on some of
my own programs, it appeared that it did not like include files that were
called from other include files. Is this true? I am using mupfel, and not
sure if this had anything to do with it, but I think I have all then env
vars set, I read something about SH.TTP, but could not find it anywhere to
use in conjuction with mupfel.
Any ideas on these things?

Yes, yes, yes.
I have arc and zoo on my sparcstation and they run fine. For some reason
unarced
*.prg files that are then downloaded with binary xmodem do not run. I am not
sure
why. The files are called zoo.tar.Z and arc601.tar.Z and are available on LOTS
of ftp sites in the unix areas. The best way to find a site near you is to use
an archie server. To get started, telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (132.206.51.1)
and log in as archie (no pass required). You can then find the address for
a european archie server. Archie will take a file name and then search a
database
and tell you everywhere that it knows about that has the file you want.
Good luck!
Btw, unarcing on a sparcstation is almost instantaneous! You'll love it!

1. Set the keyclick "blip" to off with the Control Panel (wait, this
gets better.) Save desktop (from TOS.) When you boot with the disk you
saved DESKTOP.INF on, the click will be off from square one. Beats me if
this will work with a hard drive; I don't have one.
2. (Facetious) Turn the volume on the monitor off.
Anyone else?

Subject: Making a null modem cable for 8bit to IBM/ST (how to)
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
I had posted a request for this information and I found it on a
local BBS. Several people asked me to share what I found so
here is the file on to build the null modem cable.
----------------------
PRO Null Modem Transfers
1-17-90
Circular Logic
718-351-4304
It has recently come to our attention that many Pro SysOps are having
difficulty establishing a Null Modem transfer between their BBS and
a second computer, be it ST, IBM or XL.
It is quite easy and reliable as long as the correct cable is used.
The correct pinouts are as follows:
Note: should you mess this
up and blow up yourself or your neighborhood
we assume _no_ responsiblity! Get your pins right! They are labled
on any decent brand of connector. Here are views looking at the
'business' ends of the connectors-
Male DB9 Female DB25
1 2 3 4 5 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01
6 7 8 9 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
Atari 9 pin to Atari 9 Pin or IBM/ST 25 pin
____________ ___________ __________
1 DTR * 1 20 Data Terminal Ready *
2 CRX * 2 8 Data Carrier Detect *
3 XMT 4 3 Recieve Data
4 RCV 3 2 Transmitted Data
5 GND 5 7 Signal Ground
6 DSR 6 6 Not Connected
7 RTS 7 4 Request To Send
8 CTS 8 5 Clear To Send
9 NOT CONNECTED----------------------------------------------------
*** Note IMPORTANT inorder to work with Pro and or Express, Tie
(short) pins one and two (DTR/CRX) together on the XL end
(and/or pins 8 & 20 on the ST/IBM end) This insures a Carrier
Detect for the BBS.
*Note: The only lines really needed are the lines on pins 1-5 on the
XL end
(WITH the pin 1 & 2 mod as above). This swaps the Send/Recieve
lines and forces a carrier detect for the BBS and grounds both
systems.
After hooking up the cable and matching baud rates (BAUD.CMD by
Circular Logic serves nicely to temporarly step up your
BBS baud rate for a null modem transfer) bang on the RETURN key
on the remote system untill the BBS 'sees' the keypress and
starts the normal logon process.
Programs tested to work on the remote are: 850 Express,
Express Cart,Flash, DualTerm, Procomm Plus.
-Hope this helped! -Tom & Bill
------------------------------------
I have not built the cable YET, so I don't know if it works for sure.

I have an Atari 1040ST and Notator 3.1, and would like to print out some

Has anyone had any success, and if so could you email me and tell me how

I think that Michtron produce a package for sending/recieving faxes from your
ST - if I remember correctly you can choose to purchase the software with or
without the accompanying modem.
In the UK I'm sure that it is distributed by Microdeal in St. Austell,
Cornwall, although I don't know of Michtron's distributor in Germany.
Hope this helps

Well shoot. For that you get TOS 2.06, the board that lets you
install it in your ST and a bunch of utilities (CPX, etc) on disk. (A
bit more price for a bit more stuff, tho CodeHead does have a monopoly
on it).
And since TOS 2.06 can plug straight into the STE, they probably
sell it for less. I don't see why CodeHead wouldn't sell 2.06 to STE
owners for more than $99. But then, it's up to them...

For some, and only if you have enough memory. One reason I can't
really stand Zoo is that, as far as I can figure, you can't redirect
the output.
Say on a fairly large *.zoo file that would take up 700k or more
uncompressed, the only way that I know of to uncompress on a 2floppy
system is to make a ramdisk of around 1200k. This leaves 1meg,
2floppy owners out in the cold. Even 1 floppy 1meg owners could unarc
an *.arc or *.lzh file that large with a few tricks. Some of the same
is true for large self extracting archives.
Well at least you can extract files one at at time if they are
ZOOed and small enough on a small system.
Another reason to not use ZOO on STs. It may be nice and solid on
UNIX, but for most ST owners it becomes a hassel. I wonder why Steve
Yelington likes it so much....
Maybe when arcshell supports ZOO, people will like it more...
Am I wrong in saying that you can't redirect ZOO? If so, I'd
appreciate knowing how.

I suggest running a shell (like gulam). Put zoo.ttp and the archive file on
floppy
a:. Set your path to include A:\ . The following commands should work (I am
showing
the current directory as a prompt):
a:\> setenv PATH a:\
a:\> ls a:
zoo.ttp archive.zoo
a:\> cd b:
(computer says please put disk B in drive A. put your blank floppy in the
drive.)
b:\> zoo -extract a:\archive.zoo
(zoo will extract the files into your current directory, i.e. the blank floppy)
b:\> ls b:
happy.prg happy.doc (etc.)
b:\> cd a:
(put disk a in drive a)
a:\>
That's it!
Good luck.
