[comp.sys.atari.st] Autostart for TOS1. and hard disk info required

D.Wade@sysd.salford.ac.UK (02/19/90)

Thanks to all who pointed out that TOS1.6 will Autoboot programs from the
INSTALL APPLICATION menu. I got a little side-tracked trying to get some
disks built on an old STFM to work on my STE. They used Medium Res. and had
an autostart program. By the time I had sorted out the Medium Res. problem
my brain was a bit fuzzed. By the way for anyone with an STE there is a
program on UK.AC.PDSOFT (PDSOFT.AC.UK for those outside the UK) which does
a much neater job of fixing up the DESKTOP.INF files that the official ATARI
fix To access via MAIL mail HELP to archive-server@PDSOFT.AC.UK. I can't
try this from outside the UK but I think it should work.
 
Whilst I am on does any one know of a reasonable priced UK source of
ASCI=>SSCI adaptor cards. The only one I have seen advertised was 100 Pounds
Sterling which seems rather pricey when compared with some of the US prices
quoted for example for the ICD adaptor.
(Or how hard is it to make your own ??).
