MEETIN~

Newz Froe Ti1e Prez Septe1ber of i991 Hello again 1e1bers! Well, Fall is right around the corner, and with the cooler weather, I trust co1puters will be running 1ore and ■ore frequently, Fall is usually the busiest ti1e of the 1onth for the club for this and other reasons. It has been suggested t~at we start planning the Christ■as teeting very very early so that we can have another great 1eeting like our July 1eeting. I a1 all for this and it will be on the agenda this 1onth. For the Septeeber 1eeting, we will have another round of trivia set up as well, The SPACE Progra11ing Teai (SPTl will have another 1eeting and anybody is welco■e to join in, tie will 1lso discuss the elections which are rapidl y approaching us in Nove1eber. Hany of you l:now that I work at Budget Coaputers and ■y boss, Jerry Dunn, never ceases to aeaze 11e, Recently he ■ade i rather large purchase of software that consisted of "cla1shell ~oftNare• is~ftware ~ackaged in cla1 style clear plastic container;), unoo~ed ~011ercial disks and defective returned soitware. I managed to find so1e time to sort throug~ a bit of it and I found HAN~ ATARI software titles. I was abie to test the~ and found 1any 01 thee worked . Hany oi these titles will showup on 11y "Buaget Co1puter table" at the next 1eet1ng. Many of thei are NGi gates, I found three EXCELLENT Davidson educational titles that were al1ost brand new. ,ou will WANT to check these out, ATARI software is very hard to !ind and finds like these are valuable and scarce. I have eaae phone calls to software distributors that Budget deal~ witn to chec k on ATARI software and have llao no success in locating a distributor. So it appears for now the on!~ outiets of ATARI software in Ninnesota are The Computer Station, Lance Ringquist (11ho is faithf ully attending every aeetingl and 11yself through Budget Co■puters. Bl!tween us, hopetu!ly we will be able to furnish ATARI co1puter owners with the software they need, I hope to see everyone at the co1in9 Fall 1eetings. I at receiving eore good news about another 1onitor purchase and will continue to update you as Craig Larson gets in touch with 1e, Hore than ever we need your total support to our little club. I want to see SPACE beco1e the leading ATARI user group in the country by the end of this year and I know we can do it with our drive 1nd detereination. The ATARI co11unity needs us, so let ' s help SPACE rise to the occasion. See YOU at the· aeetings ! Nathan Block "inutes of S.P.A.C.E. Neeting Aug 9th 1991 7:30 p1 The 1eeting was called to order by President Nathan Block. Nike Sch1idt 1 Our newsletter editor, announced that due to so1e changes in our printing arrange■ents, the cost of printing and ■ailing our 1onthly newsletter will go up approxi ■atel y $1!.00 a 1onth. Sher1an Erickson also volunteered soee drive ti ■e each 1onth to deliver and pick up th~ newsletter fro■ the printer.

Hike Neist asked if a tape recorder could be secured by the group so1ehow to tape the ■onthly ■eetings . Any donated tape recorder not being used would be appreciateu. Nike Weist also brought up the idea of na1e buttons for the 1e1bers. All 1e1bers could easily identify e~~h other by naee if everyone had a S.P.A.C,E, n.~~ button on. Nike has a line on a source for these buttons at an esti1ated cost to the club of 50 cents a button. Nike will try get so■e sa■ples to one of the upco1ing ■eetings for 1e1bers to look at, Larry Serf! at ten, our new BBS SYSOP, entered into a discussion with the group concerning upco■ ing modifications to the BBS. Joe Danko showed the SX212 1ode1s purchased last 1onth through a ■ail order outlet in Ply■outh Hn. The pr ice that S.P.A.C.E, purchased the 1ode1s at was $29.99, The price has gone down to $19.99 since then. The 1ode1s bought lly S._P.A.C.E. will be raffled oH in the future. S.P.A.C.L bought 2 1ode1s ior future raffles, 8:1~ p1 The 1eeting was closed by President Nathan Block. Fro• C.01puser·ve ••••• . , •••.• 1 have 1entioned the forthco1ing Atari ST&ook in some 1essages and have obtained soie ~pee sheets irot Bill iehbock Just before he left today to take two of theE to a oig show in 6ermany.

Tne STBool appeais to an establisned worldwide ■ar ket of Atar i ST/Nega users by sharing OS co■ patibility. I a ■ ca1paigning that it can also be perceived as a step up product fro ■ the PortfGlio in that it offers superb lightweignt productivi ty, acce5s to thousands of established software progra1s, but also as ■uch share ASCII files with other co1puters as the Portfolio can through the Serial Port ,

Those not fa1iliar with the Atari OS should know that it is graphics based ias easy as a "AC ll think easierli which 1eans that point ana click 1ouse operations are intergral. The STBook introduces a unique new 1ouse alternative for portability. It has a built-in Atari pressure sensitive Vector-Pad (t1), using FSR technology. What that 1eans is that the pad is not only directional sensitive, but pressure sensitive as well. The 1ouse ■aves faster, the harder it is tapped. It will be available with 1 or 4 "EG RAM and 512K RO" ienough for everyone?) and includes the popular Atari BLiTTER(t1l chip for faster graphics draws. An internal 2480 baud 1ode1 OR 9&10 baudifax 1ode1 will be .available. The syste1 archetecture is 68880 cpu based operating at BIIHz with a 32-bit internal bus, 24-bit external address bus and lb-bit external data bus. The expansion bus is a 128-pin full-fun~tion cGtinntvr. I did not notice state1ents of built-in applications although there are hints of the1 as the co1puter 1ay be set in sleep ■ode to 1onitor alar1s and appoint1ents.

All existing 1ono apps are instantly co1patible. I urge interested developers to get in touch with Atari i11ediately.

First Ti1e Online 6etting Started in Atari Teleco1puting By "ATTHEW RATCLIFF Reprinted froe ANTIC, April 1988 lel eco1puting is ■ore than just another way to use your tttputer. Mith the help of inexpensive 10de1 hardware ~nnected to the RS-232 serial interface of your Atari, your telephone line becoaes a gateway to hundreds of other Atari users who share your interests. The 1ost cOHon and affordable use for a 1ode1 is accessing local bulletin board syste1s (BBS>. These are si1ply 1ode1-equiped co1puters running special couunications software which auto1atically answers the phone, thus allowing callers to access the co1puters dat.Lases. with their Oiiil 1ode1s and co1puters. In principle, the local BBS is not all that different fro• the bulletin board down at the laundroaat execpt that it can be 1uch tore interactive. Accessing a BBS can be a real social event where you share ideas with other 1ode1 users on tany topics. ABBS is a place where you could take fast, litelong friends. If you ever actively used a CB Radio, then you already have a good feel for what it 's like to co11unicate with others or: a BBS. Over S years ago I called 1y first sysop(systea operator llho owns and 1aintains the BBS host co1puter). He has beco1e a very good friend and we both are now officers in the saee Atari users grou~ (co1puter clubi. Sysops dedicate their co1puter, aoder. and phone line to a BBS just for the iove of it. Setting up and running a BBS can be an expensive and ti1e-consu1ting process-addictive too~ ABBS is usually 1ade up of several database "foru1s 1 , each one covering a different topic. Typically you will find a 1ain database on tore general interests and at least one on progra11ing. Other co11on foru•~ include 1ovie reviews, c011entaries on sports, coverage of local co1puter club events and co1puter gi111ng tips. Talking with a BBS over your 1ode1 is like running a progra1 on your 011n co1puter, with 1enus to guide you along. At the 1ain 1enu you 1ight choose the general interest foru1. There you could read 1essages and reply to them as well. Entering and editing a 1essage takes a bit of practice, but the BBS software usuaily provides enough help to get the job done. Ho11ever, a B8S has 1ore to offer than just an arena for debate. Generally the BBS will provide a database of public d01ain progra1s that you can "download', using your software ·s co11unications protocol for transfering progra1 files over the phone. Sysops aay require that you contribute to the foru1s or upload public do1ain files occasionally to achieve higher "clearance" allowing you 1ore freedo1 on the

The One "eg, 808XL By Rich "ier, SPACE The Newell InD, upgrade tor the 808i 1200XL works 6REAT, but is a little co1plicated to install. I did this first one on a 800AL and I took 1y ti1e, Even so, I think it would take 1e about 4 hours to install another. This is a 1088K upgrade, as the original 64K is still used, not replaced, Also, it uses 1 Keg RAKs (or DRAMs as so1e people like to call the1. Have to 1ake things 1ore co1plicated then they really are, ), First of all, the upgrade board that co1es is a Rev B, and 1ust have 2 changes installed in it even before you open up your co1puter. The way around this is to send the board back, along with $21 and the-y wi ll send you their Rev C board. These two revisions require 2 chip re1ovals and 2 new chips installed, 17 foil cuts and 14 wire adds, They provide one of the chips, but you 1ust provide the second one. You KUST be able to use a soldering iron and work with 31 ga. wire. Otherwise, DON·T atte1pt this. Take it to so1eone who can or see the end of this article for infor1ation and price to have Newell install it for you. Next is the actual installation in your 818XL. This, I 1ust say, could have been 1ade KUCH si1pler. As it is, you have to connect 26 indi viual wires to the 810 XL tother board. Nost of these could have been prewired to 2-41 pin chip sockets with only 4 wires that would have to go directly to the XL board. The original 64K of RAK is left in place, with one of the chips re1oved and installed in a chip socket on the upgrade board. Ashort cable with a socket header is plugged in here and goes to the Upgrade board. Nhen Co1pleted, the top shield will not fit, unless you get out your tin-snips and cut out a fairly large hole on the left side above the existing RAN and over to the side of the RF Nodulator. This is what I did. You could leave the shield off, but I prefered to keep it as 1uch in-tact as I could. Also, a hole 1ust be drilled in the rear and a toggle switch installed. Switch is NOT included and is not required, but so1e people 1ight want it. It will only work with Atari DOS and will allow Booting with the internal BASIC an or off (Kight work with 111DOSI. H on, and Atari DOS, you can now go to the CART fro• the DOS 1enu, but ONLY fro1 Atari DDS. SpartaDOS users can't use this. Progra1 control of BASIC is not supported. You can use an External BASIC cart. I did try an external Cart, and after I turned off 1y EXPRESS! Cart, it 11orked just fine.

available, each with a different addressing sche1e. The first one is the __reco11ended one and the one that I Ufil, This is the only one co1patiable with SpartaDOS and follows the Addressing of the previous l Keg upgrades for the XL/XE (Scott Peterson for onel. I have never installed that one as I didn ' t like the idea of 'Piggy-Backing' 4-25bK chips on top of each other, ti1es 8 Stacks, to aake 1 Keg. For SpartaDOS users, this is a 6REAT upgrade. SpartaDOS 3.2d, use the File RD1188.COM to set up the RAN Disk. This file allows the use of the options "/E" and "iN' although it doesn 't say so. The co11and is RD!08B Dx: [opt}". The 'x' is the drive nu1ber you want the Raedisk installed as. 8180 Free sectors {Single Density) when the /E option is NOi used. I noted a few 1inor proble1s with RD1888.COM: 11 For so1e reason, you can not fill the Raadisk. It will always have about 25 Free sectors that can 't be used. Maybe the progra1 isn ' t subtracting the sectors used for the Directory. I didn 't look into it. 2l The RD1888.COM file can not be used in a SiARTUP.BAT file unless it is the Last co11and in the file, For so1e reason, after the Ra1disk is installed, it Always returns to the "DI:" pro1pt and aborts the rest of the .BAT file execution. Agood NL progra1er 1ight be able to fix this, but 1' 1 not a progra1er! For SDX users, just change your CONFI6.SYS 1 or add to it if you didn't have a Raadisk before. "DEVICE RANDlSK X,b4". This is if you are using "USE SPARTA' and 'DEVICE SPATA OSRAM". What I actual! y used is: USE BANKED DEVICE SPARTA DEVICE RA"DISK 9,59 The '9' is the Ra1disk nu1ber, D9: or I:. 59 is 5 Banks less then the full 64 Banks available. 1 Ban~: will be used by SDX and 4 Banks are to keep co1patibillity with the 130XE (64K of extended RAM for progra1s to use), There was so1eplace in the area of 380S Double Density Sectors available with this setup. Another thing I did try with SDX was to setup 1utiple Ra1disks: DEVICE RAMDISK B,29 CD8: or H: l DEVICE RANDISK 9,30 {D9: or I: i Only SDX has this abillity and it Norks fine. Here again, I used 5 Banks less. A "odified "YDOS 4.5U co1es with the Upgrade kit ar.d I did ooot it up and give it a try. Sorry, I I a deticated SpartaDOS user and hate "enus, so I only aade sure the basics 1

the solution to the August Wordsearch:

Title: HOLIDAY ' S worked, Nhen it was BOOTING, it did co1e up on Screen with the nor1al 138XE •setting up 138XE Ra1disk", but it took IUCh longer to co1plete. After arriving at the DOS Nenu, there was a about 7910 Free Sectors and DOS.DUP and NEN.SAV where both setup in the Ralldisk, On the disk there is a test progra1 that very quickly checks that all 64 Banks are present. It is in BASIC, so I used it fro1 SDX with no prable1s. Being the first upgrade of this type, naturally, I 'd have proble1s, but the proble1 turned out ta be in the Co1puter, NOT the upgrade, This particular 818XL was giving the owner strange errors with BASIC before the upgrade was installed. It turned cut to be the b582C, CPU chip that was heat sensitive, After that was fixed, 1 used it on 1y syste1, a 1 Neg KIO and 28 Keg Hard drive using both SpartaDOS 3.2d and SDl, a lCD R-Ti1e8 and the EXPRESS! ter1inal Cart. No 1ore proble1s were encountered. It worked Flawlessly! Nore notes; This upgrade 1aintains the Antic Extened Addressing Kade, where ALL the other upgrades to the XL/lE 's don 't. With a few 1ore changes, the 1 Neg RAMs can be swapped for 4 Neg RAMs and you can have a 4 1eg, XL. With this change though, you lose ALL co1patibility with existing progra1s, llith a little work, l ' t sure a BBS progra11 could be re-written to work Nith it. That's the only use I can think of far 4 heg oi fia1disk, NeNell Industries has three 1Heg/4Heg upgrades available, One for the 800i 120e 1L, one for the 65XE and one for the 130XE. !
