- Can't we get away from this UNIXMODE thing, a la Eric Smith's MiNT library?
- It does seem silly to have two diverging libraries when one would suffice.
- I do _not_ use your library (because I'm a MiNTer), so I don't have any info
- on UNIXMODE. The foward slashes are not a problem, it's the fact that all the
- names are truncated to fit 8.3 and converted to uppercase.
-
- These are fairly small gripes, but when they're so easily avoided, why do we
- need the extra hassle?
-
- Here's hoping for gcc 2.00... :-)

- Hi Allen,
- You could build your own cable to connect a multisync-type
- monitor to your Atari, but it can be a major pain in the.... well you... butt!
- You can also buy a interface such as the OmniSwitch (from Talon) or the IB
- MultiSwitch (from IB Computers); and then get your own monitor such as the NEC
- 3D, the Mitsubishi DiamondScan or the Sony 1402. Although getting any of these
- monitor/interface combos will cost you around $600 (give or take!).
- Or (here comes... the shameless plug!) you could just get yourself a
- Omnimon monitor from Omnimon Peripherals (it is a multisync monitor and
- interface already packaged for the Atari's)!EBm). The phone is 800/429-OMNI.
- It costs the same as doing it yourself.
-
- luis
-
- P.S. I have no affiliation with Omnimon Peripherals, other than I am aware of
- thier products.

- I was thinking about getting the Panasync C1391, but then I read this (from the
- file "multsnc7" in the multisync archive uploaded to a.a) :
-
- [start of quote]
-
- The following is the list of monitors recommended by Talon:
-
- 1.) Acer Multisync
- 2.) Mitsubishi Diamond Scan #1381
- 3.) Samsung Model #CN 4551
-
- Talon's Comments are
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. You must use a "Multisync" and NOT a "Multiscan" monitor. The best
- way to find out which monitor you have is to see if it can "Auto Scan"
- in both horizontal and vertical.
-
- 2.) Your monitor must be able to receive an "Analog" signal.
-
- 3.) The frequency range of your monitor must be as follows;
-
- Vertical Auto-Sync 15 - 36Khz or better
- Horizontal Auto-Sync 45 - 90Khz or better
-
- 4.) The "Dot Pitch" of your monitor should be at least .31mm.
-
- 5.) Frequency band width should be at least 35Mhz or better.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- It was this last which was hard to match. I found a cheaper monitor
- which looked like it would work, but the frequency band was only 30Mhz
- and it put too much strain somewhere and started to overheat.
-
- [end of quote]
-
- The Panasync C1391C (which is the model described by the spec sheet here on
- the desk) meets all the requirements EXCEPT one . . . you guessed it, the
- last one (Frequency Band width isn't listed on the spec sheet, but Video
- Band width is (30Mhz), so I'm assuming they're referring to the same thing).
-
- Is this really a big deal? Does anyone out there have one of these working
- with an ST(e)? Enquiring minds want to know . . .

-
- I have a little auto folder program which converts the keyboard handling in
- three ways:
-
- 1. You can get any ascii character by holding down the {ALT} key and
- typing the ascii number decimal on the numerical key pad.
-
- 2. The shift keys will toggle case now i.s.o. converting to uppercase.
-
- 3. The possibility to use 'dead keys' like on the old typewriters: you
- can type accents without moving the print head, and type a character
- over the accent. For instance, to produce the {e'} character, you
- just type {ALT}' followed by the e character.
- The program is able to handle the following 'accents':
- ' ` ~ , (to produce {c,}) / ({o/}) " and
-
-
- I've got the program from the Dutch BBS "Dutchman", and use it for two
- years know with TOS 1.0 and TOS 1.4 without any problems. I don't
- know about STE and TT however.

-
- If you are using Spectre 3.0you can use:
-
- AccessPC
- Dosmounter
- Apple File Exchange (text only I think)
-
- I tried both AccessPC and Dosmounter, and they work fine, AccessPC even
- correctly formats MSDOS disks. The above also works if you only have the
- Spectre 128 cartridge, without the GCR
-
- Hope this helps
-
- (Note: I have never seen a PD or shareware program that does the trick; the
- programs above were only on loan so I don't know their price)

-
- Yes, there is a utility called Transverter which allows fairly free transfer
- between ST format disks and MFS format Mac disks. I have an MFS HD partition on
- under Spectre which I use as a source/destination area for file transfers. It
- allows Binary or Text format and with the Binary, enables Spectre to recognise

-
- But beware, most of this is TEXT only, Transverter allows transfer of Binaries.

-
- I don't know this "cat" version, but most "cat" versions for the
- ST work in `text mode', not in `binary mode'. This means they
- ignore `CR' in a line (not all) and wrote `LF' as `LF/CR' pair.
-
- Try this: Wrote your own version of `cat' and be sure that you open
- the input files and the output file in binary mode!

- PS: I use GnuEmacs to recombine binaries ;-)

- Multisync monitor switchbox and cabel (this is tested and works)
- """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- If you want monochrome your monitor must handle 71 Hz frequency
- NOT all monitors do this - To be sure - Test before you buy it!
-
-
- Multisync side (no pin number - they depend on your monitor outlet)
-
- Red Green Blue HorSync VertSync Ground

- Red Green Blue Monochrome HorSync VertSync Ground MonoDetect
- 7 6 10 11 9 12 13 4
-
- Atari ST, STE or MEGA STE side (number as in operating manual)
-
-
- The switch you need must be of the type with 4 pins in that can be
- switched between 2 x 4 pins out (two choices) and works like this:
-
- Switches 1,2,3: When in color red, green and blue passes straight
- --------------- through without contact with each other or mono.
- When in monochrome they are all disconnected from
- ST RGB and instead all connected to ST monochrome
-
- -------- ST RGB (in color mode)
- Monitor --------- SW
- -------- ST Mono (in mono mode)
-
-
- Switch 4: Open in color, monochrome detect not connected.
- --------- When in monochrome monochrome detect is connected
- to ground (this tells the ST it's in monochrome).
-
- Monitor GND --------------- ST GND (always connected)
- SW ------ ST Mono Detect (in mono)
-
-
- Don't worry, the worst bit isn't making this - it's getting the
- 13-pin Atari monitor connector for the ST side and solder it !!

- Subject: TOS 2.5+ modular control panel
- To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
-
- Two things which are essentially the same:
-
- - I own an STE and lost the 4096 STE control panel. I can't find anyone
- here that has one for me. I suppose it's public domain(?) and would
- appreciate if someone could post it to this group.
-
- - What about the modular panel that's supplied with mega STEs and TTs?
