Tell me about it. I wasn't too thrilled with the old manual either. Took me
forever to learn some of the advanced stuff. At least they're getting better.

Uh, Brett...it works on my machine. You might have incompatible hardware or
some odd TSR kicking around. Some things have been known to interfere with
Creator's timing.

This I haven't tried. But, seriously, you bought Creator updates to get
Softlink and Song Chain? I always thought of these things as extra stuff.
I'm in it for the great editing and ease of use. Whatever it takes, I guess.

Brett, if you think you know all of 3.1's editing features from the 2.2
manual, I'm not surprised you feel cheated. You're missing all the best
stuff!

I've had problems with C-Lab's support people myself. But, Jeez, $120 for a
manual? You should at least check out the P_USER part, where it tells you how
to load a song into the buffer automatically and program a run-time switch.
This is how you chain songs, and it works like a charm.

CLAB-USA said they couldn't get it to work either. They FAXed Germany,
CLAB-Centraal, and it was reported that PUSER_20 was buggy. Are you sure you
are using v3.0; they fixed it in v3.1.

Uh, i am hardly ignorant of Creators features. I have put it about
1600 hours on Creator. I was perfectly satisfied with the v2.2 but I had
an impending gig and the song-link feature would have been very nice. So,
at the last minute I splurged the $80 and got a bum upgrade (nice *belated*
manual though). I use Cretor because it is the smoothest sequencer on the
planet. I hardly use any of its detailed features.

I know all of 3.1 editing features from the 3.1 manual. The 2.2
manual was discarded long ago. I feel cheated because I expect software
perfection for the $400 + $120 I spent on the package. If I have to pay
money for an update I better well get new *working* features and have old
bugs fixed; not with Creator.

Apparently not in v3.0. v3.1 works... mostly.

I am looking for a programs that lets you see (in hex and ascii) a file
and perhaps also edit it. There should be some programs like this, so
I think it is not worth doing it myself. I have been using DLII, but
it quite complicted to go to the file editor.

Also I would like to suggest one program. I would like to direct
printer output from a program to a file. There is program called
BARREL, but it has limits (128 KB buffer), so it can not be used
wih graphics programs.

Do you really speak of WM_NEWTOP? I have never received a WM_NEWTOP. At least
on the ST/TT you only get the WM_TOPPED message. On the ST WM_NEWTOP is not
supported.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dunno about a Mega keyboard, but you could also get a DEKA extender kit,
which lets you hook up any PC keyboard to your ST. Don't remember how much
those cost. Also sold by Omni Peripherals Inc. Saw a couple of them at the
show, pretty nice. They have also done something to the mouse driver which
makes it handle higher speed motions. (Try this with your mouse sometime -
just move it back and forth as fast as you can. Or if you have a trackball,
give it a good whirl. Instead of tracking from side to side as it should,
the cursor will probably shake back and forth in about a 2-3 inch span. The
DEKA part also fixes this, so you *can* really move the cursor quickly, and
precisely. Of course, while I was impressed with this demonstration, I wasn't
sufficiently motivated to buy it for myself...)

I saw both of them while I was there, although all I got to see of the
T25 (which is FAST's 25MHz 68k running in a Mega2 box) was it doing a cheesy
bounce demo (which was admittedly fast). I believe he said that it had a 68881
in it too.
As far as the TURBO030 and the SST, I saw the reps from GSB and the
rep responsible for bringing the TURBO030 to the fair run a speed comparison.
i.e. they made each do a complicated redraw on CAD-3d I believe. Running at
the same speeds (32MHz), the SST redrew in 45 secs what took the TURBO 54 secs.
which (off the top of my head) is around 20% faster. Supposedly, the SST auto
senses the speed of the DRAMS installed and so it adjusts its wait states
accordingly. However, I don't know if either one used/had a co-processor.
Does CAD-3d use the 68881/68882?

Well, Sun floppies can eject disks like the Mac does :-)

The DOS (and OS/2) ports of GNU "tar" can read Sun (and other UNIX)
floppies just fine.
That's the point behind tar -- having an all-compatible format.

File systems, of course, are incompatible.
For sure. You can't handle multi-user on a DOS-floppy. The sad thing is,
that disk-filesystems aren't interchangeable between different UNIXes...

Most UNIX systems use floppies as if they were small tapes -- no
file system at all (just "tar" directly to the sectors), while DOS
systems typically fill floppies with files.
On all UNIX systems I have seen you can mkfs on a floppy and mount it.
Only that you need to be root to do the mount. But then -- there's the
auto-mounter on the NeXT which mounts every disk and prentends the files
being yours, if it's a DOS-floppy. And you don't need to mount a DOS-
disk on a sun to use it. There's a package for handling DOS-disks.

I run CLAB Creator/Notator on my Atari. If it wasn't for Creator/
Notator (and of course Calamus) I would not own an Atari. As far as I am
concerned, and I have experience with many sequencers on many systems,
Creator/Notator is the best all round sequencer/notator package there is
and it's only for the Atari (same for Calamus in the DTP world).
I use my computer for music composition and all my promo typesetting,
including the j-cards for my cassette tape release. A little 520ST goes
a long way (especially with 4meg in it :-)

80ns is the slowest I'd consider, which will work fine for 33MHz. 60ns is
good if you're gonna run at 40MHz or faster. (Certified at 40MHz, means a
10% margin, so 40-45 MHz for you real speed freaks.) Also, you must use
page-mode DRAMs, not nibble mode or static column mode. (Page-mode are
typically the cheapest kind of DRAM so this should be no problem.)

Programs have to be written specifically to use the math coprocessor. You
could probably get an emulator working pretty easily. The SST ships with
TOS 2.05 onboard, so there is no Line-F trap conflict.

At any rate, while the '030 will automatically run most 68000 code much faster,
there are new addressing modes and such on the '030 which could conceivably
yield further improvements for '030-specific code. (As well as obvious stuff
like the 32-bit integer arithmetic vs the 68000's 16 bit instructions...)

VMEbus. Yeah! Despite folks gripes, A24/D16 is not a waste of time. There
are plenty of useful devices out there that only require 24/16 bus size:
ethernet boards, terminal multiplexers, drive controllers... The only thing
you might want A32/D32 for is memory, and Atari never intended to hang
memory off the VME bus.

Sounds cool. Obtw, I currently have my 1040STe and Mega 4 ST sharing a
single SCSI bus. Pretty cool, as long as I don't try to boot both machines
at once...

Also sounds very good. Another btw - there was a company selling 1.44MB
drive+controller for $159 at the Glendale fair. Tiny board that replaces
the WD1772 chip. But news is that Atari is coming real close on their
single-chip replacement, so the options are ever-widening...

And who's to say that it won't work in a Mega STe. The only reason that it's
listed as only for Mega STs is that those are the only systems with enough
space inside the case. The implication is that if you own a 520 or 1040 and
don't mind ripping it out of its case and installing it in some other chassis,
you could also use the SST. I don't know anything about the STe so this is
purely speculation, but I'd guess since the SST already has to talk to the
ST bus at 8MHz, it should work in 1040 STe and Mega STe as well. (Problem then
is simply getting the right chip socket.)
