Actually, I'm sitting at #70, I guess. (Ser.No. 400...0070) I will receive the Harddisk these days. You should order your Atari stuff here, it may be faster :-) BTW, some programms are crashing. They seem to depend on the Bugs in the old TOS versions :-). My favorite MAC emulator gives me the choice of installation with 512 *or* 1024 k RAM , and nothing else. So don't give away your old ST until you are shure your dear programs are working, or until you get their MEGA versions (may take some time). -- Marcus Verwiebe, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...pyramid!tub!hex from the world.

I've got my Mega ST4 today. First thing that crashed was my trusty MWC system. MWC seems to rely on some undocumented GEM variables and the ^C vector in GEM has probably changed :-( has anyone else experienced trouble with the news MegaST's ? Programs that DO work are : FlightSimulator, Cambridge Lisp (System started in about 3800 KB :-) Horray !) Several Infocom adventures, Balance of Power (nasty game, but strong copy protection) .... more to come Andreas Toenne University of Dortmund, W-Germany atoenne@unido.uucp ...!uunet!unido!atoenne atoenne@unido.bitnet D

The latest issue of ST-Log says that Atari will release a new developers' kit using MWC. John {cbosgd,decvax}!ucbvax!euler!jmorton

It ran well, and at about the same speed as on my ST at home. The part that I liked was the workspace size - about 3.2 Megabytes. -- L. J.
