A son arrived late afternoon on September 8, 1988. Best wishes from the staff of ZMagazine, ST-Report and AMy-Report. Happy second birthday to Jessica Kovacs on September 9th. Comdex is coming. We will provide as much coverage as possible. ST- Report will be covering with exclusive reports and we will print them here shortly after. Stay tuned for details. SURVEY UPDATE We want to thank everyone for responding to the Survey we printed a few weeks ago. We are looking into the suggestions and comments. If you missed the survey, don't fret! A special release will contain all of the survey questions along with a few more. More details on this special release next week. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Reader Commentary *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* by Dennis LaFontaine I have several comments to make about the reader comment in Zmag iss #119, they are in the same order as the original letter is... Yes, atari must do certain things, like advertise the REAL power of the ST, including on the spot credit financing (similar to the whirlpool plan or citi-bank method). Student discounts are on the way according to a spokesman that represents the dealer network head. 1. First off with color, can you say SPECTRUM??? (512 colors on screen at once). Can you say QUANTUM PAINTBOX??? (4096 colors on screen at once) Can you say DIGISPEC??? (24,386 colors on screen at once), Quantum even allows 32 colors in medium rez. All the above work on mmu's manufactured after early 1985, with no modifications to make inside, simply load and go! As for memory, I have personally seen an 8 meg ST in action, if at all possible, I will get the schematics on how to do it! Although the ST can do it, Atari still seems to be selling ST's under the 4 meg logo and the 16 colors logo. Both Digispec and Spectrum 512 can be obtained through Trio Engineering, or from The Catalog in Antic magazine. Quantum Paintbox is available from Eidersoft U.S.A Gray scaling is employed in many desktop publishing programs, it is also used by image scanners too. 2. Memory expansion without soldering is very easy. I wouldn't call two socket connections a 'TRICK' as you put it. Your statements about the mega is very valid though, I have still yet to see an expansion for their memory. 3. I am running a 520ST unmodified right now, after loading the raster fonts in, I have 398K free. Memory is not too much of a problem here. GDOS is great, it's about time it's available for the ST. 4. Good idea, bumper stickers are sort of like 'word of mouth' advertising. Atari would spend less money on stickers than they would on t.v. commercials. 5. I read an article about a dealer convention, student discounts were at issue, the general concensus showed everyone favored it, if this goes through, students will get approximately a 30% discount and will be eligible for the credit plan. And a reply to the editors note, I have read an article about a prototype card box that connects to a 520 or 1040 DMA port and it acts exactly like the mega-st internal card slot expander. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ COUNTER POINT TO REBUTTLE SWANSON'S SOAPBOX (huh?) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ by Rod Swanson Jim, Sorry that you take life so dang seriously. Swanson's Soapbox was written with the Atari user in mind, not anyone else. It is meant for information and amusment. Computer slamming IS HEALTHY if done with a sense of humor and if it is restricted to OUR OWN AUDIENCE. I did not upload this to the AMIGA section trying to cause trouble. Sorry you do not see this the way I do. If you would have paid attention to the article you would have noticed that the Amiga points were by someone who once sold both machines, not I. As for the JET review, I did not say anything that remotely suggests that WE SHOULD PIRATE the program. Please re-read the article more thoroughly again, without reading things into it that you imagine. Please focus your attention on the last 6 sentences!!. Again, sorry for offending a fellow 'ATARI' (?) user. STya later - Rod. PS. I will no longer pursue this subject so do not reply unless it is to yourself. No since in turning this thing into an argument. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Special Offer !!! *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Special Offer From The SOURCE to readers of ST REPORT/ZMAGAZINE!

You all pretty much know how this runs, but for those who don't.... if you have a question you'd like to ask, use the /RAI command to raise your hand and get into line. I will ack your raise with a private message and tell you who you'll follow so you know. I'll also try to give you some kind of warning when you're time is about to come up. When you're through with your question, please let me know via some kind of ack like GA (Go Ahead) or something... it makes things a little easier. Also, please remember that Neil and John are my guests tonight. Please treat them accordingly. *smile* In two weeks, we have Charles Johnson of G+Plus fame scheduled for a formal. I hope you'll make it... <[Holly] HS> Let's start by having each of our guests introduce themselves and let us know just what they do at our favorite computer company... *grin* <[Neil] NHARRIS> Sure. I've been with Atari Corp. for 4 years now, in a variety of roles, including publishing Atari Explorer, heading up PR, user group support, online support, advertising, product marketing, and sales for the east coast. My current assignment is with the Federated stores, specifically to bring them into the computer business. ga <[John @ Atari] TOWNS> I have been with Atari Corp for almost a year now. I work in the Technical Support Dept and handle a wide variety of tasks. Everything from Online support to Shows to Technical Support on the phones during the day. It makes it quite an interesting job and I get the opportunity to meet alot of interesting people. ga <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> I've been with Atari for almost three years. I was the first technical support guy at New Atari, and then I moved into other things, like shows, West Coast Editing of Atari Explorer, Internal and Developer documentation, and various product development stuff, making sure New Things are Good Things. ga <[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> Neil, does Atari have a definite strategy for increasing the ST's market share in the U.S. and will we see that strategy implemented before the ST becomes obsolete? Ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> Before implementing any strategy, the issue we're facing is product availability. We have been living from hand to mouth for some time now. The DRAM chip shortage hurts, because we prefer to hold the line on pricing and that limits how many chips we can buy and how many machines to make. Right now, the lion lion's share of the computers are going to Europe, to keep the hottest ST market in the world supplied. Once we can get more machines built, the US will get our fair share. At that point a strategy can be implemented. ga <[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> O.K. but is there a defined strategy already in waiting for that eventuality? gaga <[Neil] NHARRIS> Any strategy is time and market dependent. If we had machines to sell last year, we had a strategy ready. If we have machines this year, we have a strategy, but not the same one as last year, because the product is more mature now, with more and better applications, and because the market changes. Next year's strategy is likely to be different again. ga <[David F.] D.FAIRWEATH1> O.K. one last point... I think that when the time comes you should push the fact that with hardware and software emulation the ST is 3-way compatible with Mac and IBM. GA that's all. <[Neil] NHARRIS> I agree... as a selling point it is important. But when people buy the hardware, I know they'll find enough fine ST-native software so the compatibility issues are not a factor. ga <[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Mark, do you have any comments on the 3rd party development of the 16mhz board? <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Not really...I'll have more to say when I see one. <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Last I heard, it was still being worked on... ga <[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Neil, do you think that Atari owners are more concerned with the status of the parent company than other computer owners? ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> I think it is reasonable to be concerned with the company which makes your computer, particularly in the case of a custom operating system. Apple users are concerned with Apple. I doubt that most clone owners care much about their company, they watch IBM. Overall, it is healthy, because the company steers the future development of the product to a large extent. Atari welcomes user inquiries and constructive criticisms, and we act upon them more frequently than is widely known. We love ya, honest we do. ga <[Rick] R.GRIDLEY> Ok, (Grin) thanks and thanks to John with helping me with a problem about a year back. I am done thanks Holly huggs, Neil 1. Any truth to the rumor that the laptop will be available by the end of the year? 2. IBM or MAC compatability is a _major_ factor NEIL. The portability of office<-->home is a great selling feature. And _we_ have a choice of the _best_ that is available in software to do the job at hand. ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> Any announcement of new hardware will have to wait for Comdex, sorry. Shipping times, too... <[Neil] NHARRIS> I agree that it is an important selling factor, but we won't let that overshadow the need for continuing development of TOS programs.] ga Atari users are prone to say.. I love _MY_ Atari, but I don't know if I love Atari.... We all know we have the greatest personal computer available...you folks at Atari do to.... so who's job is it to tell the others? ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> Mainly ours, of course. But, from a BUSINESS perspective, which is the only perspective that our boss takes, you have to look at the return on any promoting we do. Right now, we sell every computer we make. We'd love to have enough computers to sell where we would have to advertise in order to move them all. So, in the meantime, the grass roots, meaning the Atari community, has the main role. ga <[Darek] DAREKM> My question is a rehash of one already asked, but, why _not_ push the compatibility issue? The Mac, PC, and Atari 800 compatibility would interest a lot of people. Afterall, the 130XE looks very much like a 520, yet Atari rarely mixes ads of 8 bits and STs. However, you look in most Atari user group newsletters, and they mix the two computers all the time. Earlier tonight I was demoing my 8 bit drive to ST interface to a group of about 30 8 bit users (no ST users in the gruop) and about 1/4 of them indicated that they've thinking of getting an ST. When I showed them 8 bit software booting off an Indus GT, they all indicated they are _more_ interested. Wouldn't it be a great way to upload a lot of 520s and single sided drives, by having some kind of upgrade policy for 8 bit users to upgrade to the ST. I know you're short of DRAMs, but with the RAM of a Mega 4 you can unload 8 520s. ga oops, I meant to say "unload", not "upload" <[Neil] NHARRIS> The Mega uses 1 megabit DRAM chips. The ST uses 256K-bit chips. So, making a Mega does not impact production of ST's at all. There has definitely been a solid trend toward 8-bit Atari users moving up to the ST. But to reiterate, it is difficult to justify from a business sense, promoting a product when we don't have enough to satisfy the current demand. ga <[Darek] DAREKM> The 8 bit users indicated that one of the reasons that they'd like to upgrade is because the 8 bit software market is dead. I just see it as a great opportunity to get these potential ST owners before they get tired of waiting and buy a non-Atari 16 bit product. ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> I don't know how to sell our chairman on giving a special deal to anyone, even our most favorite customers, at this time. ga <[Norm] N.RECHTMAN1> Are there any plans to make a laser printer with more memory for 1040 users? and how about a desk jet copy? ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> I think a better answer is for 1040 users to get more RAM. The reason for that is this: if you have RAM in the laser printer, it ONLY helps you when you are printing. If you put it in the computer, then it is available for other jobs as well. 4 megabytes comes in mighty handy when you are spreadsheeting, or doing a Cyber animation. I am not aware of plans for an ink jet printer from Atari, but again, we are not here to announce products tonight. ga <[Norm] N.RECHTMAN1> that was just a suggestion. I would really like to see PC hardware addons ga Three cheers for Atari taking the bull by the horns and making plans to move production back to the US of A!!! Neil, can you tell us how things are progressing with the proposed plant in Houston? ga <[Neil] NHARRIS> Well, our negotiating team is still terrorizing the folks in Texas. We expect some news shortly, but at the moment, nothing new to report at this time. ga <[Dan] GRIBNIF> I have two questions: First, what is the current status of the CD ROM? ga <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Most recent I heard is that we're trying to get some good applications together... Makes more sense than saying "Here's a CD-ROM player. Go to Tower Records and buy some CDs. Have a good time." It would be nice if there was something to _do_ with it first. ...so we're working on it. ga <[Dan] GRIBNIF> Is that the only setback? Does it work with a Laser and HD yet? <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Yes. And headphones. :-) <[Dan] GRIBNIF> <[Neil] NHARRIS> There is a driver for the CD ROM that lets it be read by TOS applications as if it were a really big drive. You can open it from the desktop and read files directly. So now it is a fairly simple matter of getting software which reads the databases on the CD ROM disks and does something with it. ga <[Dan] GRIBNIF> (I was reffering to the rumored problems with other DMA devices) <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> I know several people with the setup you described. <[Dan] GRIBNIF> ok, thanks. The other question is one that Neil probably saw in my letter to Info-Atari16... I was curious as to how normal users (not developers) will be notified of TOS 1.4... <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Skywriting, blimps, dancing girls...(sorry, I couldn't resist.) and if they will also be provided with an "official" way of reporting bugs. ga <[John @ Atari] TOWNS> <[Mark @ Atari] MJANSEN> Well, it's like this... People will find out through magazines, etc. And dealers will know about it. The plan is to polish up a little program we've got here that is used for developers to submit bug reports, and release that to the public too. <[Neil] NHARRIS> Through the dealers, primarily. And through all the communications at our disposal. <[Dan] GRIBNIF> "through magazines, etc??" Atari Explorer is still reviewing things that came out 8 months ago as NEW! <[John @ Atari] TOWNS> I believe that the information will also be published in the User's Group newsletter as well (Right, Neil?) <[Neil] NHARRIS> Like I said, through all the communications vehicles at our disposal. I tend to think the Atari community is very well wired together. ga <[Dan] GRIBNIF> ok, now THAT's more like what I wanted to hear <[Dan] GRIBNIF> yes, I tend to agree. Sorry about that comment a second ago sounding a bit huffy. ga.
