[comp.sys.atari.st] HELP FTP SITES & INFO

msb88@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bhuller MS) (02/16/90)

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I feel better now, sorry about the fouling of the brain
waves!  
Is there anyone out there who knows of any ftp sites in the
US or elsewhere where one can obtain atari demo's software,
utilities, games e.t.c and the required logon procedures. I
would be very happy to receive any feedback at all(hopefully
not all negative!). Please leave a message or if you feel
brave enough try mailing me directly.

I have one of the 'newish' atari ST FM's not one of the new
E's. By the way how good is the E?. I have heard rumours that
it doesn't load all the st software e.g ikari,certain
spreadsheets and is not entirely compatible with the old
St's. It is also not very good with the Pc emulator Ditto.
Has anyone out there got any expertise on the matter??

Having one of the newish ST's means that i have surface
mounted chips and i am having difficulty upgrading to one meg
without spending a lot of money as a special machine is
required to change the chips. Does anyone know of any
addresses of reliable, cheap (does it exist?) firms, in the UK
if possible, that will do upgrades? Have any whizzes out
there overcome such difficulties?

Thanks alot for reading this message
All replies gratefully received.
