Before we get into ST news, We will
|
|
briefly supply our 8 bit readers a
|
|
few fixes recently found on CIS.
|
|
|
|
Xx XM301 Fix
|
|
The Following information was
|
|
taken from Compuserve.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This fix is NOT an official
|
|
Atari upgrade. If you attempt
|
|
this modification, you do so at
|
|
your own risk!
|
|
|
|
To correct the booting problems
|
|
experienced with some XM301/1050
|
|
configurations will require you to
|
|
have three 470 ohm resistors, some
|
|
solder, solder iron, wire cutters,
|
|
and a phillips screwdriver.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the XM301 modem and remove
|
|
the PCB assembly.
|
|
|
|
2. Locate the area where the cable
|
|
is attached to the board. The wires
|
|
will be labeled with numbers. Some
|
|
modems will have these contacts
|
|
coated with a sealant. Remove the
|
|
sealant carefully with your fingers
|
|
small knife or screwdriver.
|
|
|
|
3. De-solder the lines labelled 3,
|
|
9, & 13 and pull the wires through
|
|
the board. Remember which wire goes
|
|
into which hole. Better yet label
|
|
them with a small piece of tape.
|
|
|
|
4. Install each of the 470 ohm
|
|
resistors into each open hole. Push
|
|
the resistors all the way in
|
|
leaving them standing upward.
|
|
|
|
5. Trim the excess wire extending
|
|
through the bottom of the board and
|
|
solder the resistor in place.
|
|
|
|
6. Attach the designated wires
|
|
close to the tops of the resistors,
|
|
solder them in place and trim the
|
|
excess wire off the resistor.
|
|
|
|
7. Be sure that none of the
|
|
resistors or wires are touch each
|
|
other.
|
|
|
|
8. Put the modem back together.
|
|
|
|
Works fine!!
|
|
NOTE: If you have no electronic
|
|
experience DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FIX.
|
|
|
|
Xx Touch-Tablet Fix
|
|
|
|
This fix was taken from Compuserve
|
|
|
|
Here's a very simple modification
|
|
to the Atari Touch Tablet which
|
|
will allow the button on the pencil
|
|
to work with the popular RAMBRANT
|
|
from the ANTIC catalog. It will not
|
|
effect the use of the tablet with
|
|
any other program.
|
|
|
|
It involves placing a small jumper
|
|
wire between two pins on one of the
|
|
plastic connectors inside the unit.
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the seven screws from the
|
|
bottom of the tablet.
|
|
|
|
2. Lift the top of the tablet up
|
|
and open it like a book from the
|
|
cable end to the front of the unit.
|
|
|
|
BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE
|
|
SURFACE OF THE TABLET OR THE RIBBON
|
|
CABLE THAT CONNECTS TO IT.
|
|
|
|
3. Fold the tablet surface down and
|
|
you will see the circuit board
|
|
inside. On the circuit board, there
|
|
are two small plastic connectors.
|
|
One has four wires which go to the
|
|
buttons, the other connector has
|
|
seven wires. Its the one with seven
|
|
wires that we will work with. On my
|
|
tablet, the colors of the wires are
|
|
(from left to right) VIOLET, WHITE,
|
|
GREEN, GREY, BROWN, ORANGE and
|
|
YELLOW. What we want to do is to
|
|
place a jumper wire between the
|
|
BROWN and the ORANGE wire.
|
|
|
|
4. Cut a small piece of 22 or 24
|
|
gauge buss wire about a half an
|
|
inch long or you can cut a piece of
|
|
wire from a resistor lead about the
|
|
same size.
|
|
|
|
5. Now with the touch tablet facing
|
|
you, count FROM THE RIGHT to the
|
|
second and third pins (ORANGE and
|
|
BROWN) wires. Bend the small piece
|
|
of wire so that both ends will fit
|
|
in the top of the connector. Use a
|
|
pair of needle nose pliers to push
|
|
down each end of the wire so that
|
|
it fits snugly (snugly?) in place
|
|
along side the pins in the
|
|
connector.
|
|
|
|
Thats all there is to it!
|
|
What you've just done is place the
|
|
pencil button in parallel with the
|
|
left button, so whenever you press
|
|
the pencil button, its the same as
|
|
pressing the left button on the
|
|
tablet.
|
|
|
|
Now carefully close up the tablet.
|
|
Be extra careful as you try to
|
|
close the top cover. Don't force it
|
|
shut. Make sure that the tablet
|
|
surface is seated properly into the
|
|
bottom of the tablet. The top
|
|
should close and mate with the
|
|
bottom easily. Also make sure that
|
|
the jumper wire that you installed
|
|
is not interfering with closing
|
|
the top. Replace the screws that
|
|
you removed from the back and
|
|
you're all done.
|
|
|
|
Remember to use joystick port #2 when
|
|
using the tablet with RAMBRANT.

Any Questions???
|
|
- Danny -
|
|
he IBM PC. In
|
|
fact, the manual you get only has
|
|
instructions for booting the IBM
|
|
version; the 520 ST boot
|
|
instructions and errata are
|
|
provided on a separate insert. The
|
|
company is preparing an all-purpose
|
|
manual but it wasn't ready in the
|
|
early versions of the program.
|
|
Unison World does promise to
|
|
send a copy of the new manual to
|
|
registered owners (so fill out your
|
|
registration cards) as soon as it
|
|
is ready. It doesn't really matter
|
|
though, the manual provided is nice
|
|
heavy paper stock, attractively
|
|
printed, and easy to read. It will
|
|
look very nice on your bookshelf
|
|
where it will sit while you play
|
|
with the program. Like The Print
|
|
Shop, PrintMaster is so user-
|
|
friendly you won't want or need to
|
|
take much time reading
|
|
instructions. The best part of
|
|
this program is in the experience.
|
|
At a time when it seems so
|
|
many software companies are rushing
|
|
to port over their best sellers to
|
|
the 520 ST, many of them fail to
|
|
make use of the GEM desktop or the
|
|
mouse. As a result, we users are
|
|
left to flounder with the same
|
|
tired old function keys and control
|
|
key combinations of someone else's
|
|
system. True, we get a program
|
|
proven in the marketplace and
|
|
usually free of major bugs, but
|
|
it's often not enough to compensate
|
|
for the inconvenience we have to
|
|
accept. Not PrintMaster, though.
|
|
It was ported over, true enough,
|
|
but Unison World at least had the
|
|
grace to include the use of the
|
|
mouse for function selection. It
|
|
makes all the difference for
|
|
someone who is a convert from the
|
|
old school. The menu selections
|
|
are sometimes too close together
|
|
for broad movements but judicious
|
|
use of the mouse will get you what
|
|
you want. For those of you just
|
|
dying to go back to the horse and
|
|
buggy days, the arrow keys work
|
|
too. No GEM desktop is provided
|
|
but you don't really miss it
|
|
because of the nice screen design of the program.
|
|
The clip art in PrintMaster
|
|
is generally a cut above what I've
|
|
seen in similar graphic programs
|
|
but it still doesn't matthe
|
|
capabilities of the 520 ST in high
|
|
resolution. But then neither do
|
|
most printers. I liked the quality
|
|
of the pictures, many of them were
|
|
quite detailed and much more than
|
|
simple outline drawings. The only
|
|
complaint I have at all about the
|
|
art is that the picture of the
|
|
computer in the graphics library is
|
|
the very image of an IBM PC instead
|
|
of the more advanced Atari 520 ST!
|
|
(Fortunately you can exercise this
|
|
beastie with the graphic editor).
|
|
The fonts which were included in
|
|
the package were more than adequate
|
|
for most needs (they each have
|
|
three styles including an outline
|
|
and 3D version) but I thought the
|
|
borders were a little on the skimpy
|
|
side. I suspect that will be
|
|
corrected in future additions to
|
|
this program.
|
|
PrintMaster has a graphic
|
|
editor more complete than most. You
|
|
can edit any one of the more than
|
|
100 pieces of pre-designed art, flip
|
|
it horizontally, or invert it black
|
|
for white. The size of the canvass
|
|
is small and you may have problems
|
|
using the mouse here but the
|
|
editor's commands are displayed
|
|
along the right hand side and the x-
|
|
y position of the cursor is
|
|
displayed underneath so there's no
|
|
need to flip back and forth between
|
|
screens. Unfortunately, Printmaster
|
|
won't accept graphics done in Degas
|
|
or Neochrome format so you are
|
|
limited to the pieces of art
|
|
included on the disk or what is
|
|
available in the optional
|
|
Artgallery I ($29.95). The graphics
|
|
included in PrintMaster aren't
|
|
really clip art in the true sense
|
|
of the word because they can only
|
|
be put in certain specified places
|
|
on the greeting cards and banners.
|
|
That can be annoying if you can't
|
|
fit your message around the preset
|
|
placement options. It is here that
|
|
the lack of graphic and layout
|
|
flexibility of PrintMaster cannot
|
|
rival the versatility of programs
|
|
like Typesetter ST or Degas. The
|
|
preset format of the PrintMaster
|
|
options are sometimes restricting.
|
|
Still, there seem to be enough
|
|
options available for most
|
|
situations and the practical limit
|
|
will usually be defined by your own
|
|
imagination anyway.
|
|
One of the more pleasing
|
|
additions to PrintMaster is the
|
|
calendar option. In this option you
|
|
can design your own personal
|
|
monthly or weekly calendar with
|
|
special days carrying your own
|
|
message. Each page of the calendar
|
|
can have its own graphics which
|
|
highlight the season or some
|
|
commemorated event. Great for
|
|
refrigerator doors or family
|
|
bulletin boards! There are also
|
|
options which allow you to design
|
|
and print your own letterhead
|
|
stationery, make signs, or create
|
|
banners about as long as your
|
|
patience. In addition,PrintMaster
|
|
has a preview feature which allows
|
|
you to actually see how the
|
|
finished product will look before
|
|
you print.
|
|
One of the problems with a
|
|
program like PrintMaster is that it
|
|
is completely useless unless you
|
|
have a printer which is supported
|
|
by the software. Playing with the
|
|
editor and waiting for PrintMaster
|
|
to go through its layout process
|
|
can be more than a little
|
|
frustrating if the program bombs
|
|
when it comes time to print. In
|
|
addition, close usually isn't good
|
|
enough. An -Epson compatible-
|
|
printer, for example, had better be
|
|
very compatible or you'll find your
|
|
greeting card slipping over the
|
|
perforations of your fan-fold paper.
|
|
Make sure before you buy that your
|
|
printer is on the list of printer
|
|
drivers. That, however, is one of
|
|
the advantages of buying a program
|
|
that has already been around the
|
|
block a time or two. You aren't
|
|
stuck with just one driver and a
|
|
promise of more to follow.
|
|
PrintMaster has more than a dozen
|
|
printer drivers already built in.
|
|
Unison World also provides a
|
|
troubleshooting paper as another
|
|
insert, suggesting printer drivers
|
|
for printers not specifically
|
|
listed. Also, I found the
|
|
technical support personnel at
|
|
Unison World very helpful when I
|
|
found I had an incompatibility
|
|
problem with the suggested printer
|
|
driver for my NEC Pinwriter.
|
|
There was also a curious slip
|
|
of paper in the box which
|
|
advertised a backup copy of
|
|
PrintMaster for $5.00. As far as I
|
|
can tell, the program isn't copy
|
|
protected so I'll admit to being a
|
|
little mystified at the offer.
|
|
The bottom line: PrintMaster
|
|
is a superior graphics program as
|
|
long as you understand the purpose
|
|
for which it was designed. It
|
|
won't help you become a graphic
|
|
artist in the manner of Degas and
|
|
Neochrome, but within the
|
|
constraints of the program it's
|
|
very flexible and so easy to use
|
|
you won't have to spend more than a
|
|
few minutes with the manual.
|
|
Compared to other graphic programs
|
|
of its type, PrintMaster is
|
|
superior and a very good value for
|
|
the money. And it's fun -- and in
|
|
the world of micro-computing that's
|
|
usually what it's all about.

REVIEW OF REGENTBASE
|
|
BY MARK P. SEBAR
|
|
JULY 1986
|
|
|
|
AFTER WAITING A YEAR FOR A DESCENT
|
|
DATABASE TOO COME OUT, ONE THAT
|
|
MAKES THE BEST USE OF GEM AND HAS
|
|
MANY FULL FEATURES INCLUDING BEING
|
|
A RELATIONAL DATABASE, I WAS
|
|
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO MEET WITH
|
|
PROGRAMMER AUTHOR AND OWNER MR.
|
|
FRANK COHEN OF REGENTWARE IN LOS
|
|
ANGELES CALIFORNIA.
|
|
|
|
ON A HOT SUNNY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, I
|
|
GOT TO SIT DOWN AND TAKE A CLOSE
|
|
PEEK AT WHAT WAS SOON GOING TO BE
|
|
RELEASED. I HAD THOUGHT OF ANOTHER
|
|
FILE-MANAGER COMING OUT OF THIS.
|
|
BOY, WAS I SURPRISED TOO SEE THIS
|
|
PRODUCT, WITH GLOWING RED LETTERS
|
|
-REGENT BASE- AGAINST A BLUE
|
|
BACKGROUND. MANY MENU ITEMS COULD
|
|
BE SEEN WITH PULL DOWN MENUS AND
|
|
SUB DIRECTORIES. FRANK SAYS THAT HE
|
|
HAD DECIDED NOT TO COPY PROTECT
|
|
BECAUSE HE FEELS THAT THIS WILL BE
|
|
A PRODUCT USED BY MANY FOR BUSINESS
|
|
IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I COULDN'T
|
|
AGREE MORE. THIS IS FULLY
|
|
RELATIONAL, MEANING THAT YOU CAN
|
|
INTERACT TWO FILES TOGETHER BY
|
|
LINKING TWO TEMPLATES.
|
|
|
|
THERE WERE A FEW THINGS MISSING
|
|
FROM THE EARLY VERSION THAT FRANK
|
|
WAS GOING TO HAVE READY WITHIN A
|
|
COUPLE OF UPDATES.
|
|
|
|
1.) WAS A SIMPLE TO USE METHOD OF
|
|
CREATING TEMPLATES AND THE OTHER
|
|
|
|
2.) WAS A SIMPLE REPORTS GENERATOR.
|
|
|
|
IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TYPING AND
|
|
PROGRAMMING, HOWEVER SIMPLE, IN
|
|
ORDER TOO ACHIEVE BOTH WITH THIS
|
|
FIRST VERSION. AS FAR AS RECORDS
|
|
GO, IT'S DISK BASED AND FRANK TOLD
|
|
ME THAT THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE
|
|
FILE SIZE. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE DISK
|
|
SPACE, YOU CAN EXPAND. ANOTHER
|
|
FEATURE MISSING THAT WOULD BE ADDED
|
|
IN THE NEXT UPDATE IS A HORIZONTAL
|
|
SLIDE-BAR TO GO BELOW THE WINDOW.
|
|
THIS WILL PERMIT A LARGE AMOUNT OF
|
|
FIELDS TO BE ENTERED, AND ACCESSED,
|
|
EASILY AND QUICKLY.
|
|
|
|
WHAT ALL THIS IS GETTING TO IS THAT
|
|
WITH THE FUTURE OPTION OF BEING
|
|
ABLE TO ADD MODULES TO ENHANCE THE
|
|
PACKAGE AND FUTURE UPDATES, GIVEN
|
|
THE POPULAR REGENTWARE SUPPORT.
|
|
THIS CAN WELL BECOME THE DATABASE
|
|
THAT EVERYONE BUYS!
|
|

Xx 520 VS Amiga!
|
|
A computer professional writes
|
|
about the Atari 520ST vs. The AMIGA
|
|
|
|
By John DeMar
|
|
|
|
I'm sure you are a sane,
|
|
rational person, so I'll continue
|
|
I'm a software/hardware developer
|
|
and an electronics engineer. I've
|
|
seen and used computers from $50 -
|
|
he$5 million and have designed VLSI
|
|
chips for 6 years at GE until
|
|
starting my own business last year.
|
|
So, the following is said from
|
|
technical expertise and not first-
|
|
impression judgements from
|
|
marketing -fluff-.
|
|
|
|
I own (or have owned) both the
|
|
Atari 520ST and Amiga PC. I've
|
|
given them both a good bit of work
|
|
and inspection, including O/S
|
|
design and hardware architecture.
|
|
Here are some facts and my
|
|
conclusion:
|
|
|
|
The Amiga graphics IC's are very
|
|
powerful in their own right and the
|
|
I/O chip definitely gives nice
|
|
synthesized music, but that's where
|
|
the power stops dead. However,
|
|
since people respond emotionally to
|
|
sight and sound, the demonstrations can
|
|
easily catch someone's eye. Inside
|
|
the Amiga there is very little true
|
|
support for the power of a 68000
|
|
cpu.
|
|
|
|
In the low resolution mode, those
|
|
fantastic graphics chips steal
|
|
almost 70%(yes!) of the possible
|
|
CPU time that the 68000 could be
|
|
using to do real computer things
|
|
like calculate, move/sort data, and
|
|
plot graphics on your screen.
|
|
Since the complicated screen data
|
|
for the Amiga must come from the
|
|
same RAM on the same BUS as the
|
|
CPU, there are excessive wait-
|
|
cycles imposed on the 68000. This,
|
|
together with the CPU speed that is
|
|
10% or more slower than the Atari
|
|
520ST, the Amiga does not come
|
|
close to the true power and useful
|
|
capabilities of the ST. Inside the
|
|
ST you will find MORE custom IC's
|
|
than the Amiga and MORE powerful
|
|
chips that are 'off the shelf' than
|
|
the Amiga. This adds up to a real
|
|
optimized, fast and versatile
|
|
computer.
|
|
|
|
First, there are a pair of chips
|
|
working together to optimize data
|
|
BUS and screen data access. The
|
|
memory controller fetches 16-bit
|
|
data directly for the 68000 and
|
|
also places screen data onto a
|
|
separate BUS for the screen refresh
|
|
chip. This operation only steals
|
|
8 - 18% of the available true CPU
|
|
time. Further into the hardware the
|
|
520 has three serial ports, rs-232,
|
|
MIDI and keyboard. All of these are
|
|
handled separately from the concern
|
|
of the 68000 and all in hardware.
|
|
The 520 has a 68901 interrupt
|
|
controller that keeps track of the
|
|
16 separate events in the system
|
|
with very little intervention of
|
|
the CPU. (This chip is really a
|
|
necessity in a true 68000's
|
|
architecture and is missing in
|
|
the Amiga.)
|
|
|
|
Now, the best feature and
|
|
performer in the ST design is the
|
|
custom disk DMA controller, which
|
|
transfers data to the RAM without
|
|
using the CPU and does this at a
|
|
rate of 1.3 megabytes per second!
|
|
This IC also helps the Western
|
|
Digital floppy controller, and
|
|
makes for the fastest microcomputer
|
|
disk access that I have ever seen.
|
|
The ST brings in a 32K file in less
|
|
than 4 seconds, including drive
|
|
start up, directory search, etc.
|
|
The Amiga takes almost 20 seconds!
|
|
Maybe you like to wait, but I
|
|
don't. Not to mention the optimized
|
|
setup that the DMA chip has for
|
|
adding low-cost, fast peripherals
|
|
like hard drives and CD roms.
|
|
|
|
The Amiga uses a non-standard
|
|
disk configuration, and does much
|
|
of the disk support in
|
|
software(i.e. Slow). The drives
|
|
have slightly more capacity than
|
|
the ST's DS drives(880K to 720K)
|
|
but this is at the expense of
|
|
speed. The Amiga directory format
|
|
(or lack of it) is done much like a
|
|
C-64. In fact, to get a directory,
|
|
the Amiga goes out and finds a
|
|
program called DIR, loads it, and
|
|
goes back searching!
|
|
|
|
Now that I have started into the
|
|
topic of software, I have some more
|
|
bad news for you. Intuition is
|
|
graphically and colorwise more
|
|
advanced than GEM or the MAC, but
|
|
fails to perform as a real user
|
|
interface. The windows are poorly

configured, and move with flicker.
|
|
I rate the MAC slightly higher than
|
|
GEM in usefulness, but GEM on the
|
|
ST much faster and more predictable
|
|
for the user.
|
|
|
|
The Amiga OS is full of bugs and
|
|
is clumsy to use after using GEM
|
|
for 3 months. As far as real
|
|
software goes, the ST already has
|
|
many useful programs, and there are
|
|
more developers working on ST
|
|
projects than Amiga.
|
|
|
|
As a programmer, I found the
|
|
520ST documentation to be well
|
|
written and complete. And if
|
|
something was unclear, Atari was
|
|
very open and helpful. On the other
|
|
hand the Amiga has a great deal of
|
|
documentation, but things change
|
|
every day. Worst of all, you have
|
|
to be God or Electronic Arts to
|
|
talk to anyone at Commodore. They
|
|
simply are not professional people.
|
|
|
|
To finish off I would like to
|
|
add a couple of bad things about
|
|
the ST. The case could be nicer,
|
|
and they should have picked easier
|
|
to find connectors for the monitor
|
|
and drive ports. Besides that, I
|
|
think(and over 50,000 others think)
|
|
that the Atari 520ST is the most
|
|
powerful and elegantly configured
|
|
computer ever made. Also I feel
|
|
that Atari will sell more computers
|
|
than any other company has ever
|
|
sold to date. This is not solely
|
|
due to marketing hype (like the
|
|
C64), but from true value and power
|
|
that was never offered before. Save
|
|
$1000.00 and take a vacation next
|
|
summer..... buy an ST.
|
|
Sincerely,
|

John DeMar, QMI.
