Reader Commentary
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
by Dennis LaFontaine
I have several comments to make about the reader comment in Zmag iss #119,
they are in the same order as the original letter is...
Yes, atari must do certain things, like advertise the REAL power of the
ST, including on the spot credit financing (similar to the whirlpool plan
or citi-bank method). Student discounts are on the way according to a
spokesman that represents the dealer network head.
1. First off with color, can you say SPECTRUM??? (512 colors on screen at
once). Can you say QUANTUM PAINTBOX??? (4096 colors on screen at once)
Can you say DIGISPEC??? (24,386 colors on screen at once), Quantum even
allows 32 colors in medium rez. All the above work on mmu's
manufactured after early 1985, with no modifications to make inside,
simply load and go! As for memory, I have personally seen an 8 meg ST
in action, if at all possible, I will get the schematics on how to do
it! Although the ST can do it, Atari still seems to be selling ST's
under the 4 meg logo and the 16 colors logo. Both Digispec and Spectrum
512 can be obtained through Trio Engineering, or from The Catalog in
Antic magazine. Quantum Paintbox is available from Eidersoft U.S.A
Gray scaling is employed in many desktop publishing programs, it is
also used by image scanners too.
2. Memory expansion without soldering is very easy. I wouldn't call two
socket connections a 'TRICK' as you put it. Your statements about the
mega is very valid though, I have still yet to see an expansion for
their memory.
3. I am running a 520ST unmodified right now, after loading the raster
fonts in, I have 398K free. Memory is not too much of a problem here.
GDOS is great, it's about time it's available for the ST.
4. Good idea, bumper stickers are sort of like 'word of mouth'
advertising. Atari would spend less money on stickers than they would
on t.v. commercials.
5. I read an article about a dealer convention, student discounts were at
issue, the general concensus showed everyone favored it, if this goes
through, students will get approximately a 30% discount and will be
eligible for the credit plan.
And a reply to the editors note, I have read an article about a prototype
card box that connects to a 520 or 1040 DMA port and it acts exactly like
the mega-st internal card slot expander.

COUNTER POINT TO REBUTTLE
SWANSON'S SOAPBOX (huh?)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
by Rod Swanson
Jim, Sorry that you take life so dang seriously. Swanson's Soapbox was
written with the Atari user in mind, not anyone else. It is meant for
information and amusment. Computer slamming IS HEALTHY if done with a
sense of humor and if it is restricted to OUR OWN AUDIENCE. I did not
upload this to the AMIGA section trying to cause trouble. Sorry you do not
see this the way I do. If you would have paid attention to the article you
would have noticed that the Amiga points were by someone who once sold
both machines, not I.
As for the JET review, I did not say anything that remotely suggests that
WE SHOULD PIRATE the program. Please re-read the article more thoroughly
again, without reading things into it that you imagine. Please focus your
attention on the last 6 sentences!!. Again, sorry for offending a fellow
'ATARI' (?) user.
STya later - Rod.
PS. I will no longer pursue this subject so do not reply unless it is to
yourself. No since in turning this thing into an argument.

lots of retailers selling their wares as Special Low Convention prices,
hardware and software manufacturers displaying their latest products, user
groups talking to the crowds about Atari products and selling their PD
software disks, lectures by knowledgeable speakers, seminars by prominent
developers and even hands-on workshops where the registered participants
can actually work on projects under the guidance of an expert. There will
be something for everyone. From multi-player adventure games on the 8-bit
to business applications for the Atari clones. So, if you are an Atari

<[Holly] HS> Okay... welcome to our formal conference with some of our
favorite Atari folks. You all pretty much know how this runs, but for those
who don't.... if you have a question you'd like to ask, use the /RAI
command to raise your hand and get into line. I will ack your raise with
a private message and tell you who you'll follow so you know. I'll also
try to give you some kind of warning when you're time is about to come up.
When you're through with your question, please let me know via some kind
of ack like GA (Go Ahead) or something... it makes things a little easier.
Also, please remember that Neil and John are my guests tonight. Please
treat them accordingly. *smile* In two weeks, we have Charles Johnson
of G+Plus fame scheduled for a formal. I hope you'll make it...
<[Holly] HS> Let's start by having each of our guests introduce themselves
and let us know just what they do at our favorite computer company... *grin*
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Sure. I've been with Atari Corp. for 4 years now, in a
variety of roles, including publishing Atari Explorer, heading up PR, user
group support, online support, advertising, product marketing, and sales for
the east coast. My current assignment is with the Federated stores,
specifically to bring them into the computer business. ga
<[John @ Atari] TOWNS> I have been with Atari Corp for almost a year
now. I work in the Technical Support Dept and handle a wide variety of
tasks. Everything from Online support to Shows to Technical Support on
the phones during the day. It makes it quite an interesting job and I get
the opportunity to meet alot of interesting people. ga
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> I've been with Atari for almost three years. I was
the first technical support guy at New Atari, and then I moved into other
things, like shows, West Coast Editing of Atari Explorer, Internal and
Developer documentation, and various product development stuff, making sure
New Things are Good Things. ga
<[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> Neil, does Atari have a definite strategy for
increasing the ST's market share in the U.S. and will we see that strategy
implemented before the ST becomes obsolete? Ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Before implementing any strategy, the issue we're facing is
product availability. We have been living from hand to mouth for some time
now. The DRAM chip shortage hurts, because we prefer to hold the line on
pricing and that limits how many chips we can buy and how many machines to
make. Right now, the lion lion's share of the computers are going to Europe,
to keep the hottest ST market in the world supplied. Once we can get more
machines built, the US will get our fair share. At that point a strategy
can be implemented. ga
<[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> O.K. but is there a defined strategy already in
waiting for that eventuality? gaga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Any strategy is time and market dependent. If we had
machines to sell last year, we had a strategy ready. If we have machines
this year, we have a strategy, but not the same one as last year, because
the product is more mature now, with more and better applications, and
because the market changes. Next year's strategy is likely to be different
again. ga
<[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> O.K. one last point... I think that when the time
comes you should push the fact that with hardware and software emulation the
ST is 3-way compatible with Mac and IBM. GA that's all.
<[Neil] NHARRIS> I agree... as a selling point it is important. But when
people buy the hardware, I know they'll find enough fine ST-native software
so the compatibility issues are not a factor. ga
<[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Mark, do you have any comments on the 3rd party
development of the 16mhz board?
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Not really...I'll have more to say when I see one.
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Last I heard, it was still being worked on... ga
<[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Neil, do you think that Atari owners are more concerned
with the status of the parent company than other computer owners? ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> I think it is reasonable to be concerned with the company
which makes your computer, particularly in the case of a custom operating
system. Apple users are concerned with Apple. I doubt that most clone
owners care much about their company, they watch IBM. Overall, it is
healthy, because the company steers the future development of the product to
a large extent. Atari welcomes user inquiries and constructive criticisms,
and we act upon them more frequently than is widely known. We love ya,
honest we do. ga
<[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Ok, (Grin) thanks and thanks to John with helping me with
a problem about a year back. I am done thanks Holly
<D.D.MARTIN> huggs, Neil 1. Any truth to the rumor that the laptop will be
available by the end of the year? 2. IBM or MAC compatability is a _major_
factor NEIL. The portability of office<-->home is a great selling feature.
And _we_ have a choice of the _best_ that is available in software to do the
job at hand. ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Any announcement of new hardware will have to wait for
Comdex, sorry. Shipping times, too...
<[Neil] NHARRIS> I agree that it is an important selling factor, but we
won't let that overshadow the need for continuing development of TOS
programs.] ga
<D.D.MARTIN> Atari users are prone to say.. I love _MY_ Atari, but I don't
know if I love Atari.... We all know we have the greatest personal computer
available...you folks at Atari do to.... so who's job is it to tell the
others? ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Mainly ours, of course. But, from a BUSINESS perspective,
which is the only perspective that our boss takes, you have to look at the
return on any promoting we do. Right now, we sell every computer we make.
We'd love to have enough computers to sell where we would have to advertise
in order to move them all. So, in the meantime, the grass roots, meaning
the Atari community, has the main role. ga
<[Darek] DAREKM> My question is a rehash of one already asked, but, why
_not_ push the compatibility issue? The Mac, PC, and Atari 800 <grin>
compatibility would interest a lot of people. Afterall, the 130XE looks very
much like a 520, yet Atari rarely mixes ads of 8 bits and STs. However, you
look in most Atari user group newsletters, and they mix the two computers
all the time. Earlier tonight I was demoing my 8 bit drive to ST interface
to a group of about 30 8 bit users (no ST users in the gruop) and about 1/4
of them indicated that they've thinking of getting an ST. When I showed them
8 bit software booting off an Indus GT, they all indicated they are _more_
interested. Wouldn't it be a great way to upload a lot of 520s and single
sided drives, by having some kind of upgrade policy for 8 bit users to
upgrade to the ST. I know you're short of DRAMs, but with the RAM of a Mega
4 you can unload 8 520s. ga oops, I meant to say -unload-, not -upload-
<[Neil] NHARRIS> The Mega uses 1 megabit DRAM chips. The ST uses 256K-bit
chips. So, making a Mega does not impact production of ST's at all. There
has definitely been a solid trend toward 8-bit Atari users moving up to the
ST. But to reiterate, it is difficult to justify from a busines
s sense,
promoting a product when we don't have enough to satisfy the current demand.
ga
<[Darek] DAREKM> The 8 bit users indicated that one of the reasons that
they'd like to upgrade is because the 8 bit software market is dead. I just
see it as a great opportunity to get these potential ST owners before they
get tired of waiting and buy a non-Atari 16 bit product. ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> I don't know how to sell our chairman on giving a special
deal to anyone, even our most favorite customers, at this time. ga
<[Norm] N.RECHTMAN1> Are there any plans to make a laser printer with more
memory for 1040 users? and how about a desk jet copy? ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> I think a better answer is for 1040 users to get more RAM.
The reason for that is this: if you have RAM in the laser printer, it ONLY
helps you when you are printing. If you put it in the computer, then it is
available for other jobs as well. 4 megabytes comes in mighty handy when you
are spreadsheeting, or doing a Cyber animation. I am not aware of plans for
an ink jet printer from Atari, but again, we are not here to announce
products tonight. ga
<[Norm] N.RECHTMAN1> that was just a suggestion. I would really like to see
PC hardware addons ga
<D.D.MARTIN> Three cheers for Atari taking the bull by the horns and making
plans to move production back to the US of A!!! Neil, can you tell us how
things are progressing with the proposed plant in Houston? ga
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Well, our negotiating team is still terrorizing the folks
in Texas. We expect some news shortly, but at the moment, nothing new to
report at this time. ga
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> I have two questions: First, what is the current status of
the CD ROM? ga
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Most recent I heard is that we're trying to get
some good applications together... Makes more sense than saying -Here's a
CD-ROM player. Go to Tower Records and buy some CDs. Have a good time.- It
would be nice if there was something to _do_ with it first. ...so we're
working on it. ga
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> Is that the only setback? Does it work with a Laser and HD
yet?
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Yes. And headphones. :-)
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> <smile>
<[Neil] NHARRIS> There is a driver for the CD ROM that lets it be read by
TOS applications as if it were a really big drive. You can open it
from the desktop and read files directly. So now it is a fairly simple
matter of getting software which reads the databases on the CD ROM disks
and does something with it. ga
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> (I was reffering to the rumored problems with other DMA
devices)
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> I know several people with the setup you described.
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> ok, thanks. The other question is one that Neil probably saw
in my letter to Info-Atari16... I was curious as to how normal users (not
developers) will be notified of TOS 1.4...
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Skywriting, blimps, dancing girls...(sorry, I
couldn't resist.) and if they will also be provided with an -official-
way of reporting bugs. ga
<[John @ Atari] TOWNS> <grin>
<[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Well, it's like this... People will find out
through magazines, etc. And dealers will know about it. The plan is
to polish up a little program we've got here that is used for developers to
submit bug reports, and release that to the public too.
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Through the dealers, primarily. And through all the
communications at our disposal.
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> -through magazines, etc??- Atari Explorer is still reviewing
things that came out 8 months ago as NEW!
<[John @ Atari] TOWNS> I believe that the information will also be
published in the User's Group newsletter as well (Right, Neil?)
<[Neil] NHARRIS> Like I said, through all the communications vehicles
at our disposal. I tend to think the Atari community is very well wired
together. ga
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> ok, now THAT's more like what I wanted to hear <smile>
<[Dan] GRIBNIF> yes, I tend to agree. Sorry about that comment a second ago
sounding a bit huffy. ga.
