I have recently installed the new? rainbow TOS in my mega2. *flameon* It seems to run less software than the old version, which is depressing since the my older 1040 which I sold for the Mega ran the largest set of software. Well is it my imagination??? Is there a solution to all this bombing? *flame off* And can I speed this slow poke up? thx, freds@hpspdra.hp.com

Wait a second -- lemme check. Okay, I have my flame-retardant underwear on. >It seems to run less software than the old version, which >is depressing since the my older 1040 which I sold for the Mega >ran the largest set of software. Hehehe. Well, could you be more specific than 'less software?' What specifically doesn't it run? Typically, most software runs on TOS 1.4. >Well is it my imagination??? Dunno. >Is there a solution to all this bombing? Don't write your own software. :^) >*flame off* Hmm, that wasn't so bad. Not even a spark. >And can I speed this slow poke up?

I've noticed that a lot of pd software others have suggested as great programs do not run or bomb my system. Examples so far are CAL 5.0, which will not run, and MELT, which melts the screen then bombs the system. Some of the software that I wrote with Personal Pascal long ago (I gave up writing for the machine about 3 years ago) has some odd reactions on the STe that my old 1040 did not. I'm also interested in what the architectural differences are between an ST and an STe. Phil Z

Actually, the offending software was the MACCEL mouse accelerator that Dr. T shipped as pd with KCS Omega. I'll miss the speed, but it was corrupting all sorts of software. I can't tell you if it would have on old TOS as I only started using it when I got my 1040STe (my old 1040 ST wouldn't read it's internal drive, so I had no ACC's or AUTO things loaded). CAL50 seems to run alright, although with other windowing software it seems to have problems keeping the mouse pointer visible on the screen. It's really hard to figure out who or what's causing a problem in the moving target public domain software world... Phil Z

I've been using MACCEL3 from atari.archive.umich.edu on my 4Mb 1040STe and haven't had any of those problems. -- -- Salvador Pinto Abreu spa@fct.unl.pt Universidade Nova de Lisboa, PORTUGAL
