This last weekend, I purchased a TT. After reading on c.s.a.st that the latest tos was 3.05, I was shocked to discover I had tos 3.01. The TT came in a unopened box that the dealer received about 12 days ago. Why the hell is the dos over 6 months old. If somebody from Atari reads this, I would appreciate a responce. Is there a way I can get an upgrade? The reason for my concern is problems I'm having with file systems. Hanging off the dma port, I have 2 Quantum pro 80 and 1 Micro 1375. I have had three partitions develop directories that point to themselfs. This prevents show info from working. The directories appears to be infinitely deep. The drives use 1 ICD and 1 Supra hosts. (ICD->Pro80+Micro1375 Supra->Pro80) I'm selling two of my old systems. I would like to sell them as systems, but I will consider all offers. System 1 -1040STf w/tos1.4 + 2.5 megs (board can be upgraded to 4 megs <$100) -SM124 mono monitor -Quantun Pro80S 84meg 3 1/5 drive in Supra case -Spectre 128 w/Mac roms - Macintosh Plus emulator -Star SG10 printer -IMG Scan image scanner -LDW Basic compiler -MicroLawyer -DC Desktop -Beckemeyer Hard Disk Toolkit -Supra hard disk utilities -Why Wait? floppy & hard disk cache + print spooler + ram disk -SGS Switch program switcher -.ACCess CLI -Micro Kitchen Companion recipes on disk All software has original docs. I will leave shareware and public domain on the hard drive. This would be a great system for someone thinking about buying a Mac. I'm asking $1200 for the complete system. If you have concern about buying a used harddrive, I will swap the new 50meg TT mech for the Quantun and knock $100 off the price. System 2 -520ST w/tos1.4 + 1 meg + Z-Time clock chip + Mega keyboard -CCC Learning Station case with 2 DS floppy drives -SC1224 color monitor -Rixon T212A 1200 baud modem -ST Talk Professional telecommunications software -Neo Desk -pc-ditto 3.0 - IBM emulator -Degas graphic arts system -UMS Universal Military Simulator -Dive Bomber -All Aboard! -Space Cutter -Micro League Wrestling -GATO -Devon Aire The CCC case is a metal case that holds two Atari floppy drives plus power supplies for the computer and drives. Everything, including the monitor, plugs into an internal power strip with an external power switch. The drives have the cheap mechanisms replaced with Epson mechs. I'm asking $600 for this system. I also have about 10 Mega keyboards that I would like to sell. These are just the bare bones keyboards. They are a direct replacement for the keyboard in the original 520 without the internal floppy. I'm asking $40 each for the keyboards or 3 for $100. If the above systems don't match your needs, I would be willing to rearrange the hardware and software to meet your needs. Just make an offer. All the hardware is in very good condition. If you are interested in any of the above, please reply with e-mail or call me at (408) 992-0131. If I'm not home, leave a message and I will get back to you. thanks, al
