Falcamp? It forces it to mono when there isn't enough cpu time.

It's 5% alright, but only if you have a 060. On a normal falcon, a 128KBps mp3 is about 60-70% cpu. A 64KBps one doesn't use cpu at all. The most my falcon managed to play was a 160KBps mp3. Those numbers fall enough if you use an external 44.1KHz clock, there is no need for resampling.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Basic lab equipment case, should protect enough from rf interference. Unfortunately metals allow certain EM frequences to penetrate them and since a nuclear blast would have an EMP on a broad spectrum and thuss destroy it...

I am not very happy with an ide2sd adapter i got but i believe people have better luck with compact flashes. The sd card is very fast when reading, but very slow on writting, i believe it has to do with the way the OS handles the writes to the harddisk. Most adapters and cards would work i believe.

There is an internal hard drive on the first picture, and that's probably why the floppy is not working, the hard drive is broken.

I've never seen that. Are there any other upgrades to the mainboard? About the floppy, unplug the internal ide disk and try again.

If the clock battery is dead it will default into USA english. The previous owner might have done that though for other reasons. TOS 4 is multilingual. Try to install devices from the options(?) menu and see what happens. Also alt+c will open the contents of a c: drive in a window.

Did you plug a cartridge on? Jaguar's won't start without a cartridge

Suggestion, don't even bother with the monitor and hook it up to a VGA one.

No you don't. I routinely run 640x400 for my Workbench with the standard 1084s monitor. I do admit that the monitor issue with the ST was interesting. Not sure why there was no modulator on the early STs, and needing the 2nd monitor for hi-res was interesting. But the ST was less expensive. You probably could have bought a 520ST and both monitors in 85 for less than the Amiga 1000 with a 1080 monitor. desiv The couple of times i saw 640x400 on an amiga it flickered (not very much but it was noticeable and tiring in the long term). It could be that things were better in NTSC land. About the 2 monitor thing. ST high is 30KHz horizontal and 72Hz vertical, more like vga numbers than rgb. The downside you needed another type of monitor. The up side, it was extremely stable and easy to the eye.

That's not a good point. You "could" run 640x400 in an Amiga but you needed a flicker fixer. Also, noone stopped you from doing wordprocessing in st medium, that was why it existed.Sure some stuff needed st high but a lot of the productivity software could run in st med as well. Or you could forget about atari monitors and you could buy a multisync one.

That's false. It needed either a colour or a mono monitor depending on the application.

Just for the record, having read it I can say it's easy to get into if you know asm. I don't and I could realise more or less what's going on. It should minimize development time a lot, for those that care about that anyway!

Only problem is that forum 7 or forum 33 have a 2.5% chance each to be Atariage.

I prefered amber to green. Felt nicer somehow...

Ok, whatever, this topic has been beaten to death on other subforums and/or forums. The copyright holders should do what they think. And the topic is ST vs Amiga.

And a video of the game: Sorry for the bad audio quality. It's being recorded through the monitor port and not the headphone one...

For the falcon version it would probably suffice if he said: "Did he say GPU?"

IIRC from trek, most klingon ships are kind of greenish . I think Romulan ones are more green though . Anyway, it's more of a matter of the gouraud shader using all 16 colours than anything else. There are other animations I've seen. For example Enterprize leaving the dock and that's not green!

Christos, umm, one problem... I doubt a PC was multi-tasking or animating in 4,096 colors......or had stereo sound... or, much of ANYthing at this point...First off, PC's cost a minimum of $1000. at that time, double that of the A500... Second, even this early , the Amiga had CAD programs, can't tell ya how good they were, tho... And LOL! CAD 3d was an ST program You might have seen something like this :

So if you had seen a screenshot of CAD 3d you'd have been on the other side! For me getting the falcon was non negotiable. It was a crappy -by now falcon standards- 3d demo that did it.

There are usb to serial adapters too... And anyway, you initially said your problem was not having linux, then not having serial ports and then that you are basically unwilling. So again, why are we discussing this?

No serial port? Then why are we discussing it? Anyway, I got an ethernec and I go online that way. The designs are free (as in free speech so no laws will be broken) and some people are selling such devices if you want to either build it or buy it.

You can also do it with windows xp
