S,P,A,C,E, Ninutes fro1 3-8-91

Happy April everyone! Today (4/1) I only had one rather frustrating April fool's pulled on ■e, hope everyone else got by safely! In the tonths ahead, there is 1uch in store tor SPACE, First of all, so■e very big news, "Y friend in Switzerland sent ■ea s ■ all package, When I opened it up, I did a double take, Insides an ORIGINAL copy of RA"PAGE tor the ATARI XL/XE! Since 1y 810 is still in the shop, I will suspend loading it until the ■eeting! It RA"PAGE works, you will be able to order it for around S10-S15 1 not bad tor this gate! BE AT THE "EETING, let's hope it works, I r-eceived ai,othH intHestii,g PD catalog in the ;;iil the other day, I will be bririging that to the ■ eeting, r~ceived 10 phone calls last week regarding ATARI cotputers, ATARI owners are out there and need support, if you know others that have ATARis, please SPREAD THE WORD, We need all the new faces we can get, In the co ■ ing tonths, I would like to have a GA"E FESTIVAL tor anyone interested, we could plan this tor the June teeting perhaps, And in July 1 we will be celebrating SPACE's birthday as usual, so be sure to take that one! I a■ toying with the idea of using the club's disks as rewards for those who send in newsletter articles, PLEASE let us know what YOU are doing with your ATARI!!! Let's fill this space (bad bad BAD pun), ATARI has announced yet another gate tachine, the ATARI PANTHER which will feature the 68000 1icroprocessor those of you who are unta1iliar with this chip, this is the chip at the base of the Co■todore A"IGA line, The 68000 used in conjunction with special graphics and sound chips can 1ake a very fortidable gate 1achine 1 but in •Y opinion, ATARI is just too late AGAIN, GENESIS has the 16 BIT ga■ e 1arket, what there is of it, and NINTENDO and SNK have already ~r~■ is!d !6!32 Bit EyEt!!S by su■8!r ti8e• ATA~I is gearing up to take another 1ove and I at just waiting to see Mho Mill be naive enough to buy one. Anyone who bought the LYNX found they got the short end of the stick, hopefully people have learned by now, What aaazes ■e is how a cotpany who has neglected nearly five different tarkets can continue to stay in business! Well, enough ratbling,,, As Lance Ringquist told us 1 there IS NEW SOFTWARE co1ing out for the ATARI, Co1e to the ■ eetings to purchase it! He cotes out every 1eeting bringing the best in new and older software titles, That's it for this tonth, I hope to see everyone at the 1eeting 1 it will be a good one! Happy

co ■ puting!

The 1eeting was called to order at 7:35 P" by SPACE president Nathan Block, Ken Nodeen Volunteered to take down the ■ inutes in the absence of Pat Krenn the secretary, Gary Barnes brought in several copies of a two page catalog fro ■ Newell Industries of Texas, The catalog listed a price for virtually every hardware upgrade package available for the Atari 8 bit co■ puters, Gary freely handed the■ out to any 1e1ber who wanted one until the supply was exhausted, The 1e1bership voted in favor of auctioning 1 810 disk drive and 1 800XL co■puter to the highest bidders, These 11ach_ines were checked over and repaired by Rich "ier for SPACE, This auction took place i11ediately, Steve ChristGphers~n w;in -¼h, bi-il for t'h2 819 di~k drive 11t Sd5 , Bill Cotter won the bid tor the 800XL at S40, Ke'n "odeen brought up the fact that 1uch discussion about BBS networking has been seen on the BBS, Warp 10 1 Greyhawk and SPACE BBS 1 s have all been discussed as being good candidates to network with each other, A■os Jackson of WARP 10 BBS was also present to re-affir■ his wish to network with SPACE, WARP 10 was at present already networking with Greyhawk, Ken "odeen brought up the pro side of networking as being a benefit to long distance callers or SPACE only callers, Those users could get all the twin city Atari 'For Sale' and 'Technical" information trot just one source, The con side of networking was the fact that SPACE could no longer control handles on the BBS (11hich is not being allowed at the present tite) or language use 1 as the ■essages are sent over autoaatically without hu1an screening, "essages with language proble1s could be deleted when discovered however, The ■etbership voted in favor of trying the BBS networking, to be i1ple1ented as soon as the various sysops could set it up, "ark Vallevand brought up a read/write problet with his 1050 disk drive with a U,S, doubler installed , It seets after an hpur or_1ore of use tile disk drive has a__ problea readinq and w~iting to files, Usually to a specific sector, · usually the sate sector all the tite, "ark says he has a fan cooling the 1050 1 and he says the drive belt is in good shape, Any ideas are welco■e as to what could be the problet, The te■bership voted in favor of buying an annual subscription to a 1onthly shareMare disk put out by SAGANORE SOFTWARE of Indiana, The disk is double sided and will enhance the 1onthly DONS, The subscription is $39 annually, Joe Danko stated that $39 is a great cost savings co1pared to what he spends now on long distance phone calls to GENIE and CO"PUSERVE over the course of a year, "ike Sch1idt and Joe Danko stated that at the next ■eeting there will be a hard drive de1onstration, "ike Schaidt will have his black box hard drive host adaptor,and Joe will have the clubs "IO hooked up with SPACE's new hard drive containing the clubs library, An operating cotputer and 1odet ~as available after the ■eeting closed for anyone wishing to call the BBS,

. DISK LIBRARY NEWS - April, 1991 - by Joe Danko librarians: Joe Danko and Glen Kirschentann April is here again Nith spring and Easter to enjoy, We are still pretty busy but at least acco1plishing soaething, I got an A in 1y C progra11ing class at LakeNood and Glen is spending a lot of his tiae supporting his Mite's desktop publishing consulting business, I at trying yet another tiaesharing service, A1erica Online, In the last feN 1onths I have tried Prodigy and PC-Link, No doNnloads on Prodigy and it is SLOW due to all the ads and crap cluttering the screen, PC-Link has IBM doNnloads but is otherNise kind of boring, Both are kind of expensive, GENIE is still 1y favorite at S4,95 a 1onth for a bunch of no-additional cost goodies plus whatever connect ti1e used for downloading and certain services at ten cents a tinute, I have the hard drive running nicely after changing the steprate with a prom chip prepared by Rich Nier, I a1 loading the library and using it to build DONs, It is saving 1e a lot of tite, I have donated an ATARI 400 1 joyst~cks 1 paddle controllers and a buich of cartridges · to ·the· ShorevieN Alliance Church daycare center, Nany of the carts and !he paddle controllers were donated by Nike Scheidt, I had to cannabilize both of •Y old 400s to get one to work properly, Glen has spent a treaendous a1ount of tiae re-organizing and copying the DOLLAR-DISKS, Here is a short list of what is available: i

Also at this 1onths 1eet1ng the club will have 4 disks (8 s1 4es) ot new Pr-intshop Icons, I downloaded over 1000 of these Icons in IBN Printshop and Print1aster fortat fro1 so1e BBS's, After unzipping the files and using the Utilites tor for1atting ATARI disks in Double Density on an IBN XT co1patable co1puter, I put these files in ATARI foraat and extracted each Icon with the basic progra1 that was on tht February DON, Then I had to convert these tiles fro• ATARI tiles to Printshop files using PSU trot the Pr-intshop Utilites Disk, After checking for duplicate Icons that are already in the club, and the Printshop Graphics Librar-y disks, I ended up with 8 sides ot at least 120 Icons on each side, In the upco11ing 1onths I have over 1800 1ore IBN Icons to transfer to ATARI tor1at, I figure there will be 7 disks (14 sides) converted out of these Icons that are not on SPACE Printshop graphics disks, I have given these to the club to sell because one cannot upload these files in Printshop for1at to the BBS, They would have to be in ATARI for1at (5 sector tiles), then they would have to be converted to Pr-intshop fortat once downloaded, For $3,00 a disk, I felt it would be worth that not to have to spend hours converting ATARI for1at files to Printshop tortat, If anybody is interested in how this is done (it they want to do it the1selves), you can get with 1e at the 1eeting and I'll show you how, Newsletter Editor

111 A DIFFERENT DATABASE 111 by SPACE te1ber· - larr·y Ser-f 1aten llhi le browsing thru the SPACE BBS aessage bases I I paused co read an interesting post fro• Ken Nodeen, It seets that while prograting his ATARI, (when he HAD an ATARI) he found a bit of difficulty in working with a data base of strings and nu1bers, He found that while he could store the data with print statetents all day long, he could not reliably input the data troa the disk back into his prograt, He goes on to point out that the IBN (he now owns) acted in auch the saae tanner as his old pal the ATARI tachine, Because Ken solved this problet when prograaing his ATARI, he quickly coded a solution in his IBN progra1 and reflected on the si ■ularities in the coding problea of both systeas, I considered a reply I aight have to his tessage and decided other club tetbers aight want to create database prograts of this sort and would take use of an effective alternative, it one were 1ade available, As a bonus, it the two syste1s are alike in soae ways, ■aybe if I point out a good tethod for the ATARI, Ken tight be able to adapt these principles to his IBN, HERES THE PROBL[N: Store on disk, a list of character data and qualifying statistics, This tethod should be conservative with RAN and not take a day and a halt to load in, assuming its full to capacity, The list, for purposes of this discussion will be a baseball tea1 1 s batting stats, Each tea1 1e1ber will have an entry containing the players naae, and l) his batting average, 2) total ti1es at bat, 3) his RBI record, 4) total hoaeruns and finally 5) his contracted pay for each gaae played, TAKE INVENTORY To reach 1y conclusion as to how to 1ake this data use little 1e1ory 1 I first classifed the types of data that will be used, Of course the data was either characters or nu1bers, but to be accurate, the length of the characters and the li1its of the nutbers were set, I decided 20 characters would ad1it the 1ost of the tea1 1e1bers na1es, it not, the naae 1ay be abbreviated and still be recognizable, I then began to set the li1its of the statistical data and found that while the batting average, which is a traction, 1ay be represented as a Nhole nuaber, the rate of pay tor one ga1e 1ay go over the 65535 li1it a two byte nuaber can hold, For this reason, all nuabers except the batting average and the rate of pay will be two bytes, The 3 two byte nu1bers will follow the players naae, while the batting average and the rate of pay will be stored as a two eleaent array, DEFINE THE RECORDS The record of individual players now needs 20 bytes tor the na1e 1 6 bytes tor the at bat, RBI and, ho1erun stats and 12 bytes for the 2 ele1ent array, This 1akes the length of each record consistent at 38 bytes, The BASIC progra1 will need to reference this data in the fora it is stored, The na1e is a string, the 3 two byte nu1bers will be stored and retrieved in the LSB/NSB tor1at used extensively in the ATARI ·coaputer and the next 12 bytes will be a two eleaent array, .THE PROCEDURE In 1y BASIC progra1 I will now diaension 2 strings and an array to hold one ~ecord, Ny first stateaent will di1ension the needed variables: 10 DIN PNA"ES(20),PNUNS(6),PDAT(l)

----

llhen I have filled in the data tor the first player, I will want to 1ove the strings and array to just after the data for the first player, I will then enter the data for the second player and again 1ove the strings and array another 38 bytes, the size of one record, After all players are entered I will have a block of 1e1ory that holds all of the data I need to store, The first 38 bytes are for the first player, the next 38 bytes tor the second, and so on for all the player·s, llhen this data is to be stored to disk, I will use the PUT BLOCK option and save the whole block in one operation, llhen I need to change any of the data, I can load the whole file back into 1e1ory as one big block, and step thru each player as before to 1ake any needed changes, Loading the whole file tile as one block will allow 1e to use the GET BLOCK procedure supplied with the coaputer, This is the feature used to load other progra1s 1 and is a fairly fast operation, INPLENENTATION • To aake all this happen, I first have to know how to change the preset addresses of the strings and arrays, 1 then will have to coax the co1puter to use the block 1ode to save and load the data back into 1e1ory, locations 140 and 141 hold a two byte nu1ber which tells the coaputer the address of the strings and arrays used in any progra1, It does this by pointing to the first byte of the first string or array, This 'first byte' is usually the first free byte AFTER the BASIC progra1 storage area, The two byte nu■ber is stored in LSB/NSB for1at and is referred to by the lable STARP, llhen the first players data is entered, the address pointed to by STARP and the next 37 bytes hold the data just entered, To '1ove' the strings, I will add 38 to the nu1ber stored in STARP and poke that nu1ber back into STARP, I 1ust re1e1ber this original value to keep track of the start of the first players data, (the start of the whole block), I can 1ove these strings as needed si ■ply by adding or subracting the size of a record to the nuaber in STARP and pokeing that nu ■ber back into STARP, Using block 1ode operations is accoaplished by pokeing certain values into the control block associated with the disk file and calling a subroutine supplied in RON, The values to poke are: + The address of the fi rst byte (of the block) that is to be saved or loaded , + The nu1ber of bytes to SAVE or LOAD, + The nuaber associated with the type of operation to be perforaed, SAVE or LOAD, The subroutine to ju■p to is at address SE456 (58454) and requires a little 1achine language to pertora properl y, VARIATIONS It would be possible to create a database larger than coaputer 1e1ory by using the disk tile in place of the block of 1e1ory used in the earlier exa■ple, After each player the disk file could be updated or appended as needed, This sethod would not need the shitting of strings and array but, would require tore ti1e needed tor the 1ultiple disk accesses , An optional index could be 1aintained to speed up searches in a large file, It you would like 1ore infor1ation about this approach, I would be glad to explain furt her, I do not charge SPACE me,,ers nor1al consulting fees'

CeBIT 191 NeNsbreak nnch 13 1 1991 Things are really heating up here today in Hannover, Gertany at the 1991 version of CeBIT Nhich is the largest co1puter show in the world, Atari surprised everyone with their announce1ent and de1onstration of two exciting new 68000 based cotputers, The following was described to 1e by Atari engineers as the were de1oing the equip1ent, I have written this because I felt it newsworthy and an itportant boost to the 1oral of Atari users everywhere, I 1ake no guaranty tor the accuracy of this infor1ation but I have tried to get as 1uch detail as possible, The co1puter n~1es used are only 'internal" Atari na1es and 1ay be changed before release of the products, ST Notebook This is said to be the s1allest 68000 based co1puter in the world, Its size rival~ any PC Notebook style co1puter that I have seen, It is about 1/2 the size of 1y laptop co1puter and 1aybe 3/4 of an inch thick, Features include: A built in 1ouse device that consists of three buttons, The large center button is direction and possibly velocity sensitive to si1ulate 1ouse 1ove1ent in direction and speed, A laptop size keyboard, possibly a little s1aller than standard, The tactile feel was good, 512K ROn capability, It looked like TOS 2,05 was shown in the prototype, This prototype did have a very professional and finished look to it, 1 1egabyte or 4 1egabyte RAN versions available, Uses pseudo-static RAN, 2 1/2 inch fort factor internal hard drive, 20 1egabytes was installed , Presently up to 60 1egabytes is possible, Probably an IDE (AT) interface, External ports include 1idi in and out, 1 serial, parallel, l co1bo either floppy drive OR ACSI, 2 RAn card slots (128K cards shown, said to support up to 4 1egabytes), 128 pin co1puter direct port (all address, data lines, CPU control, etc,),. 1ode1 connector (tor optional internal voice/tax 1ode1f , keypad/1ouse port, Of course to 1aintain the ssall sizr, nearly all connectors we~e shrunk and non-standard types, An excellent gray-tone LCD display, It did not appear to be backlit which would 1ake sense for the battery life, This was said to be greater than 10 hours before recharging, With less hard drive use, it would be longer, The replaceable battery pack shown was very s1all and contained about eight AA alkaline batteries , If Ni-Cads were installed, the universal poNer supply would also recharge the1 when connected, When the battery pack goes down, the notebook is auto1atically put in a halted state that is 1aintained tor weeks until recharged, Internal Ni-Cad batteries will 1aintain the halted state of the co1puter for about 5 hours it the battery pack is re1oved fro• the co1puter·, Atari has a few choices to transfer data to and tro1 the co1puter, Connect an external floppy drive, Transfer over the serial ports with a 1ode1 or direct, Transfer over the parallel ports at around 20 Kbytes/sec, Connect an ACSI device such as a hard drive externally or possibly ACSI to ACSI co11unications&

ST PAD This is si1ilar to ST Notebook and shares 1ost of th, features but has a futuristic interface, A touch sensitive LCD display with a pointing device was shown for 1ouse type functions and handwriting recognition tor input, Physically, ST Pad looked like the 'Etch-aSketch' drawing toys that we grew up with 1inus the X/Y knobs , No keyboard was attached and there is not an internal hard drive, The OS software and large a1ount of scratchpad RAK were said to have Artificial Intelligence features to allow ST Pad to actually learn your handwriting style! (Good luck with 1ine,) ST Pad looked like it needed 1ore ti1e for co1pletion but ST Notebook looked like so1ething we 1ay actually see so1eti1e this su11er or fall, With this exciting new innovative line of co1puters and Alwin Stu1pf (fro1 Atari G1bH) heading up a new world-wide aarketing ca1paign 1 it appears that this ti1e Atari really 1ay be backing the pro·1ise with the product, _Copyright 1991 Toi Harker of ICD, Inc, Per1ission for this release to be distributed or reprinted is granted but only in its entirety,
