I was just talking to Paul Swanson, proprietor of Nite Lite Systems of Billerica, MA, and he happened to mention that a certain printer did not run properly with the ST because the strobe line of the parallel port in the ST is not buffered. He had also come up with a simple added buffer on this line as the fix. Let's hope Atari will make this mod to their board next time they lay out a new one. Incidentally, Paul has recently ported the Nite Lite BBS system to the ST. Anyone wishing to put it through its paces can do so by dialing up Paul's BBS at (617) 663-4221. This is a full-featured and very robust BBS program and may well be the best yet available for the ST. I don't happen to know what he charges for it but you can find that out and even order a copy by dialing up his board. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa <I have no financial interest in Nite Lite Systems but will always accept money if sent to me anonymously.>
