My 4 meg upgrade board (FrankenSTein) for my 1040ST just arrived and another user upgraded his Mega 2 to a Mega 4. Both of us are GCR users (hey Dave, do I send back my Gamma test board or just keep it as a momento?). I read on the net that multifinder is now stable in an as yet unreleased version of the GCR software. When will the GCR stable version be released? With 4 megs, it would be great to use MF under GCR. As yet, I have not seen any feedback on the net re: codes I could not get to run on an STE. Is the mailer slow or doesn't anyone have info? Hey Atari, anyone have a demo code to show of the STE's graphics and sound? How about a decent manual for the STE instead of an addendum sheet? Does anyone at Atari know why a save desktop in medium resolution still results in a boot to low res on an STE? Finally, I have STs running with OMNIMON multisyncs - they're great!

Yes, and that's why John Townsend and I wrote an auto folder program which solves the problem. This program should be available where you bought your STE. If it isn't, have them contact dealer support at the appropriate Atari subsidiary. -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>

We now have about 5 useful official TOS patches that I can think of to run
from the AUTO folder. Perhaps it would be reasonable for Atari to combine
all of them into 1 program which reads a configuration file to tell it how
big to make OSPool and how much buffer to set aside. Not at all coinciden-
tally, this gets to look a lot like the MS-DOS startup mechanism. I'd be
willing to buy such an animal, as long as it was both official and
supported (that means that Atari would take names, and send a card to let
us know when a new one was available).
