Hmmm... But some copy-programms copy a normaly Amiga-Formated disk without
problems. So, why should it not be possible to do it??
Perhaps you are right when you look at single sectors, but i think if i can
read track by track, that would be enough to build up a AmigaFS

TOS is up to 2.06 and 3.06 in the MegaSTE and TT respectively.
TOS 1.4 (also know as Rainbow TOS) is the most recent version that will
plug directly into your old 520 and is quite an improvement over TOS 1.0
(Though 'improvement' is relative for most). The visible changes include:
- New file selector
- Move files and folders with <Control> key
- Skip a file during copy
- Abort group copy, move and delete operations
- MS-DOS Compatible Floppy Disk formatting
- New copy disk<->disk utility
- Can change folder name
- Warm boot and Cold boot resets via key commands
- can install Auto-Boot application
- Install Application works correctly (You can reinstall applications)
Non Visible Changes include
- Much faster disk operation (hard disk too)
- the built in cache works (use cacheXXX.prg)
- essentially removed the 40 Folder bug (includes removed malloc bug)
- BIOS-devicedrivers now work through pointers behind the system variables
- The Clipboard routines work
.. + many other bugs fixed
TOS 1.4 is sold at a retail price of $99 but can be found as low as $60
(you can install them yourself or have them installed.)
There may be *many* used sets of TOS 1.4 after the following:
CodeHead Software recently announced the TEC, a TOS Extension Card
developed by the german company Artifex, that allows you to plug TOS
2.06 into 520, 1040, and Mega STs. (Tos 2.06 will plug directly into
STEs). It's said to be compatible with any existing upgrades like
ram boards, 16mhz boards, etc.
TOS 2.06 is a *very* large improvement over TOS 1.4 even. The most
visible change is a new desktop, which contains features not much
unlike NeoDesk's plus a few more, yet it is all in ROM.
Some of the features of the TOS 2.06 desktop (from press release):
o Programs, files, and folders can be placed directly on the desktop and
started with a double click.
o Up to 20 programs or documents can be assigned to the ST's function
keys and started with a single keypress.
o Data files can be "dragged" and dropped on program files, which starts
the program and automatically loads the document! Some programs even
support multiple document files in this manner.
o Each file on your disk can have its own unique icon, or you can use a
common icon type for each type of file. New icons can be created and
added to the system.
o Keyboard commands for almost everything! And not only can you control
the new desktop with the keyboard (as well as the mouse), you can also
redefine any of the key commands to suit your own tastes!
o A powerful file search function, that lets you find and select files
that match your specified criteria.
o Window management is considerably enhanced; scrolling has been sped
up, and selected files can remain selected even if you scroll the
window to a different area of the file list.
o Up to seven desktop windows can be open at once, and you can open
directory windows with simple key presses -- even change a window to
show a different drive without closing and reopening it.
o The "View" menu now has an "unsorted" option, for showing the actual
order of files and folders in a directory.
o Any character in the "upper half" of the ST's font can be typed in by
holding the Alternate key and typing its ASCII number on the numeric
keypad.
o Many of the special functions of the desktop (like copying, renaming,
etc.) can now operate in "batch mode", to let you quickly rename or
show info for a group of selected files, for example.
o The bootup sequence now includes a graphic display of the Atari Fuji
logo, and a memory test, and a configurable bootup delay that allows
hard drives time to power up. It's also possible to bypass the AUTO
folder entirely by holding Control during bootup.
o Internal changes in the TOS program code result in very noticeable
performance improvements in many areas.
o ...and of course, lots more. This list barely shows the tip of the
iceberg, in fact.
The card is 2.5 by 2.5 inches and would require some soldering of
jumpers and such to be installed in your 520 because the new TOS is
located at a different address. They also have a nosolder version for
Megas and one for ST's with a socketed 68000.
The TEC with TOS 2.06 and a disk of utilities costs $139 direct
from CodeHead. I think the no solder version is $155. I think they
just started shipping it two days ago. And I don't doubt that they
will sell every single one they can get their hands on. Apparently,
they've already taken advance orders well above the total number of
any single piece of software they've sold so far. CodeHead can be
reached at (213) 386-5735.
Supposedly one could install a switch between TOS 1.4 and TOS 2.06
for compatibility with programs that won't run under the new TOS. You
would also likely find some of your old software wouldn't work under
TOS 1.4 but not much. Most if not all new software runs under, or
sometimes requires at least TOS 1.4 (and I would assume would work
with TOS 2.06 as well.)
I would recommend at least an upgrade to TOS 1.4 just so that you
are compatible with most new commercial and non-commercial software
coming out. I would guess that you will be able to find very good
deals on used TOS 1.4 chips in the next few weeks.
You might try a ram upgrade while you are at it or even a processor
accelerator if you have the money. I started with an original 520 ST
with TOS on disk! It works great with 2.5 meg and TOS 1.4 now (and
maybe TOS 2.06 soon :). I would guess that 4meg TOS 1.4 520 STs are
not too uncommon. If you go for the ram upgrade, get one that uses
simms. (seems the way to go)
On another note, is the TOS 1.4 and 2.06 feature list in the monthly
FAQL? If not it probably should be.
(sorry this post is so long)

I have put a file called p_worlds.txt on atari.archive.umich.edu. This
file lists out a bunch of the world names in Populous (they are the same
names for the Promised Lands data disk, although the worlds themselves are of
course different). If you find any errors in the file, or have any world
names that are not in there, please update it.

Subject: Extensible Control Panel mystery
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
While I like the Extensible Control Panel, I have noticed that it
seems to lose its functionality whenever I run an application. Of the
applications I have used where I can access it (Uniterm and Word Up),
they all seem to disable most of the CPX's. I have a Mega 1 STe, and
I have not added CPX's to the control panel, nor have I changed the
minimum number of slots in the setup menu. But when I run Uniterm,
for example, and I access it, all the CPX's seem to be there. When I
double click on one of them, like General Setup, the disk whirs, and
then nothing happens. When I reload the CPX's, I notice that only two
or three are actually accessible. The problem is even worse when I
run Word Up (only the Configure CPX's option is available). What
causes this, and how can I correct it if possible? Do I need to make
the CPX's memory-resident?

As far as I know, the latest version 3.6 of GFA-BASIC claims to be fully
TT compatible. Perhaps anybody should try to compile the UUCICO Basic
source with this version, it could only get better...
But I'm afraid that this is not the only problem. UUCICO uses e.g.
LINE-A routines that should be replaced for the TT.

Chris you are not wrong there. Here in NZ a Mega STe will cost over $nzd3500
while a 50mhz 386 with 128k cache mother board will cost you about $nzd700
or $nzd2500 complete with 40meg hard disk VGA and software like windows or

Subject: SST (68030) for the ST. 520ST?
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
I have been reading (Znet) about a 68030 upgrade called SST by David Small.
Sounds good, but can it be installed in a 520ST from 1985? Or does one need
a Mega ST, or a 1040ST, or one of the newer ( >1988 ) machines like STE or up?
My 520ST has had a one meg Memory upgrade, so there's also less space inside.
Send a followup article please, as others may also want to know.

From what I've read on GENIE, the SST will not fit in anything but a
Mega. IF you don't mind putting your ST in an AT case, then the SST
is electrically compatible with the old STs. AS of yesterday, the SSTs
were not shipping...

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
I have started to appreciate using Unix Windows on my ST when connected to
Sun Sparcs. Unfourtunately I haven't been able to get kermit downloading to
function correctly. Since that seems to be the only thing that might work,
since it is the only protocol supported by the UW implementation I have and
text capture won't work correctly I would like to know if someone has got this
thing working. I suspect that it might be some simple configuration problem
on the sparc side of the kermit thingy.
I'm connected via a modemserver over a network to the sparcs ...
(thus making a need for some sort of window scheme necessary in order to get
downloading to work)
I'm using a version made/ported by Brad Bosch/Brian Katzung (no version
number found).
Any help given would be appreciated greatly.
Yours,

After being out of the country for several months I've recently
set up my computer again, gotten hooked up to the Atari16 digests, and so
on. Everything works as before except my Z-modem downloads. I use XYZ.TTP
with XYZSHELL.PRG, which has always worked well with RZ.EXE and SZ.EXE on
our university VAX system. However, every download I've tried ends in a
"CRC error" message. The instructions indicate that this is likely a line
noise problem; but I can up- and download over these lines with KERMIT, and
the ZMODEM uploads work fine too. I can certainly live with KERMIT, but
ZMODEM has been a bit faster...
Afer a lot of fiddling with the XYZSHELL settings, all to no
avail, it's time to ask for help. Anybody have any suggestions?
Many thanks--
