The Atari Insight column of January Compute! magazine supports holding on to your old 8-bit "clunker" rather than taking the leap to the 520ST, at least for the present. The software available for the 520 still can't match the variety of 8-bit stuff that is lying around; furthermore, who needs 16 bits to write letters and manage a recipe data base?

This was supposed to go to usenet@ucbvax.berkeley.edu but was not deliverable. Anybody know how to change the baud rate on a casette save/load? My recorder seems to have a problem running at constant speed and I thought if I could drop down from the standard 600 baud to 300 (or even 150), I might be able to get it to work again. I already tried changing the audio frequency generators to a lower baud rate (successfully) but as soon as I type 'CSAVE' (or 'LIST "C:"), they go right back to 600 baud again. Is there some peek address that can be poked to a lower baud rate that the cassette routines use?

edmund, The Newell OS has a provision for changing the baud rate of the cassette save/load. This OS is a part of the OMNIMON XL which comes with the Ramrod XL for $79.95. Send me your address if you would like some literature. David Young -------
