hi i just got a TT and have some questions. maybe that most of them already have been discussed, but as i had no TT i did not pay attention. My version of Mint (0.6) does not seem to work with the TT is there a version that does ? Is there a switch for gcc (my version is 1.39) to use 68030 code, to use the co-processor and the full TT memory ? I tried to connect my external 5 1/4'' floppy i used with the st to the tt but failed. any ideas why ? (i just pulled the plug out of the st and into the tt, but the tt couldn't handle it. :( ) Is there already any nice tt - pd -software, and where can i ftp it? Does anyone have some TT documantation, e.g. new tos-routines and hardware - registers ? If you only have them on paper, i would give you some money for stamps, if you send them to me. (send e-mail for adress) Is there a version of minix running on the TT? thanx for any replies, carsten carsten friedrich, e-mail: friedric@unipa.fmi.uni-passau.de

(send e-mail for > adress) These kinds of documentation are available to developers through the Atari. Call Gail Johnson at (408) 745-2022 for information on becoming a developer. >My version of Mint (0.6) does not seem to work with the TT is there a version > that does ? The latest one, 0.8, does. However, there are some problems in exception handling. 0.7 worked better, but I don't know if the released version of 0.7 had the TT modifications. >Is there a switch for gcc (my version is 1.39) to use 68030 code, to use the > co-processor and the full TT memory ? Yes, use -m68020 and -m68881 on the GCC command line, and use PRGFLAGS.PRG (freely copyable, available on GEnie at least) to set the program-load and malloc bits so your program can see all TT memory. >I tried to connect my external 5 1/4'' floppy i used with the st to the tt > but failed. any ideas why ?

Do you use a hack program to change the seek rate, or a program that makes the Floprate() XBIOS call? In the former case the program is probably TOS-version-specific, and in the latter case it should work. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
