Hello ATARI, Do you know of any vendors that make a timeclock cartridge for the 1040ST? Thanks, atc@max.bnl.gov sbarr@libserv1.ic.sunysb.edu

It includes a clock and lots of desk accesorie software. The clock works fine, but the software is not good and usually doesn't work. The software does have a nice calendar function, which links to a scheduler. However, the automatic alarms on the schedulernever seems to work properly. I have DeskCart! and I have decided to just use the clock part of it. Oh, DeskCart often costs around $70 (bought mine for aout $100).

In addition, it is a package of desk accessories that do all sortsa nifty things. It does, however require some 80K bytes of RAM for everything to be "nominal". ie: it has a resident spooler/ramdisk that requires ram, if you use them. Included are a calculator acc, a card file, address book, disk utils, ramdisk,spooler,notepad,macro keys (including the ability to launch the DA's by hot keys),typewriter,vt52 emulator,appointment scheduler w/ alarms, control panel, Degas (tm) compatible printer driver auto loader and a few other tidbits. It is really one of the better kept secrets for the ST (I should know, I helped code it). And did not get rich doing so. It has been deemed by certain magazine reviews in Start & computer shopper and a few others as the best add-on product for the ST... <blush> -- Jeff Gortatowsky-Eastman Kodak Company .....rochester!kodak!elmgate!jdg (use uuhosts or such to find path to rochester) Eastman Kodak makes film not comments.
