[comp.sys.atari.st] The TT -- Gosh, I actually touched one

The delays had dragged on so long that I had stopped looking for it. But
when I stopped by my dealer today to typeset the newsletter for the
Minnesota Atari ST user group, I finally got to use a genuine
production-model TT030.

So long as I stuck with ST High resolution, the TT was happy with
PageStream 1.8. Higher (TT-only) resolutions produced bus errors and, in
one case, an ``Illegal AES call'' dialog box. (One operation in 16-color
TT mode locked up the machine.) Presumably these bugs are known and will
be fixed in PageStream 2.1, which is said to be only weeks away from
release.

The machine was clearly faster than the ST. I didn't use it to lay out the
newsletter, just to drive an SLM605, so I can't offer any details.

The Mega STE also was in stock.
