This weeks update includes the press release from TCS/GOE, (reproduced in
this weeks Zmag), things look closer to reality there! DOSXE has been
released and is available direct from Atari. The prices I have been told
range between $10.00 to $15.00. Write to Atari Corp for more details.
Keith Ledbetter has removed his Express Telecom files from CompuServe.
Rumor has it he is working on a cartridge based program similiar to the ST
telecom file "Interlink". We will update this story when we can. Alan
Reeves has released a few peripheral handlers for Diamond. Recent uploads
to the GENIE ATARI8 RT include an ST-Mouse, Touch-Tablet handler. Check
out GEnie for these files.
Anything else happening you ask?? Well, other than a few more PD files
being released, things are slow. One question we would like answered is
where are all those cartridges promised? I would assume that Atari is
working on it's promises. For more ST related news and features, read
STZMAG available on the services.
Recent bulletins on CompuServe in the Atari8 and ST areas talk about
requests from ANALOG and ST-LOG. They are looking for your requests for
their respective magazines. Do you have a comment to pass along? Let
them know! On CompuServe type: GO ATARIVEN and respond!
Z-NET details coming soon!

<*> GOE/TCS UPDATE
##############################
Total Control Systems, David R. Sullivan
You probably first heard of GOE back in August/September of 1988, at that
time GOE was shown at the 1988 AtariFest in Glendale, CA. A DEMO Disk
followed in October on GEnie and in user groups. Now, January 1989, GOE is
about to be released. GOE has been tested over the last 3 to 4 weeks to
insure that it is a bug-free and usable product, it is my hope that GOE
will become the new standard OS for the Atari 8 bit computers.
STATUS OF GOE:
A) We are currently running behind our released schedule, this is DUE to
dificulty and time needed to completely develop a cartridge based
product that provides a new and exciting operating environment while at
the same time maintaining 100% compatability with ALL existing
software. Added to the level of programming required, GOE was
originally being developed in a situation that required over 15 minutes
to test a single change in GOE -- that has been corrected (curtesy of
Atari, CORP. and ICD's extensive help).
B) GOE is in it's final debugging stages, and provided that it receives a
clean bill of health GOE will be shipped the first week of February.
C) Several beta testers have been using GOE for 2 weeks now, all press
and other qualified people will receive beta cartridges 1 week ahead of
shipping.
D) The Turbo 816 and GOE, GOE will be tested with the Turbo 816 before it
is shipped to insure compatability. A Turbo 816 version is planned,
this will be a full 16 bit version of GOE. I am communicating with
DataQue in an attempt to make GOE the standard for the Turbo 816, the
advantage of the Turbo 816 is tremendous and gives you a true 16bit
computer at a great price!
E) I am communicating with Atari, CORP. keeping an open ear to their
ideas. With Atari selling thousands of 800xl, 130xe and XEGS computers
the Atari 8bit future looks bright. Not to mention the support Atari,
CORP. is giving in the entertainment area.
F) Advance order's, if you have placed an advance order, it will be filled
with top priority. As a BONUS, all people ordering in advance will
receive a free BONUS Disk containing some exciting new software.
G) Price: The retail price of GOE is $79.95, all discounts for advance
orders are now void. User Group discounts are available.
H) If you have requested information, you will receive a mailer the first
week of February notifying you that GOE is shipping and providing more
information about GOE.
I) Dealers, dealers packets are now ready and will be sent out within the
next two weeks. Thank you for your support, the Atari 8bit users need
you.
I realize many of you have been waiting for GOE since late October, and I
know it is hard to wait for an exciting new piece of Atari 8bit software;
but I do not want GOE to be a product that is simply a toy. If GOE and
the Atari 8bit are going to have a successful future together then GOE
MUST BE A PROGRAM THAT YOU WILL USE. GOE will not be shipped until it is
complete and fulfills your needs. Allowing press to be released about GOE
as early as May, 1988 was not under my control nor my intent. The official
press released in September/October 1988 was a little early but has been
useful and has shown the public what GOE is via the DEMO released on
GEnie. Once the information was about, I had to make the best of it and
did not count on some of the misleading information I have been delt, or
some of the legal problems that I would encounter.
Stay tuned to the GEnie network for more information, GEnie is my link to
you so let your thoughts be known.
goPaint and goWrite DEMO versions will be released shortly after GOE
starts shipping, but have been put on hold until then. Upon shipment,
Total Control Systems will start supporting you with easy and clear
example programs, useful public domain programs and powerful commercial
programs. A download area here on GEnie will be your source for GOE
public domain software. A new private area will be setup for GOE users
and GOE developers where you can ask your questions. The current public
area, CATegory 5, TOPic 24 will be used to convey public information and
answer questions to the general public.
Total Control Systems is working hard to make your Atari 8bit future a
bright one, and we look forward to your support of our quality products.

Fm: Tim Hanson 72750,1014
To: SYSOP*Keith Joins 72347,75 (X)
1) CODEBUST.HLP is all the docs you're going to get. I loaded the file
into Textpro and massaged the file until I had something readable.
2) DOSXL only (or AtariDos, but definitely not Sparta). I have an MIO
partition set up for this.
3) Everything is done from D1:. Codebuster won't work with any other
drive. I booted the Dos from an MIO boot, put in a floppy with LABELS
and my source machine language file on it, then went for the MIO
switch. After moving the floppy assignment to D1 (a real floppy) and
CB.COM to D3, I loaded D3:CB.COM, which brought up the screen. At
this point I was in Codebuster with an almost blank floppy disk, ready
to go to work.
4) Every snivelling little step must be done manually. First one must
<ELABELS> (a space between the command and the filename is not
necessary, but drive assignments are not legal). This loads the OS
equates into the buffer and turns on the label attaching logic. LABELS
contains a full set of both low and high memory equates in AMAC form.
This must be the first step, since entering LABELS after entering code
to be disassembled overwrites some code.
5) Next <OFILENAME.EXT> (open) as an output file.
6) <RFILENAME.EXT> (read) loads your binary file into the buffer.
Multiple load points and two blocks of code with the same load point,
as in a short routine to write to the screen as the rest of the
program loads, are separated. Be careful about disassembling too much
code; one only has one floppy on which to write source. I loaded
Textpro in a total of four loadpoints, and I split the main program
into two pieces.
7) <SD> sends output to disk.
8) <UFILENAME.EXT> closes the output file after disassembly.
9) <%FILENAME.EXT> reloads the output file and attaches the label logic.

(Editors Note:)
There are a few articles in our archives that we haven't printed because
they address the 400-800 Atari systems. Of the 134 survey responses
received to date, 50 or more respondents stated they still owned or used
thier 800.
In an effort to keep this percentage of our readers interested, we will
publish material written for or about the 800. The following article was
released in 1983 on CompuServe. (This is the place I found it a few years
ago and recently came across it again.)
CARTRIDGE SWITCHES
by HOWARD SIEBENROCK
As you know, when you plug a ROM cartridge into the left slot of your
Atari 800 computer, you disable the top 8K of RAM. This is done by
disabling one input of an OR gate (Z102B) that normally passes the address
lines A15 and A14, decoded by chip Z101 to be S5, to the RAM slots. The S5
signal is wired to the left cartridge slot, pin 12, to enable the ROM
chips in the cartridge. Pin 14 of the cartridge is connected inside to the
+5 volt line. When the cartridge is inserted into the left slot this +5
volts is then connected to the Z102B OR gate to disable the S5 signal to
the RAM slots. The S5 signal is the address for 40K to 48K of RAM.
The right cartridge does the same thing, except it used A15 and A13,
decoded by Z101 as S4, for it's enable line. Pin 14, the +5 volt signal,
of the right cartridge, disables S4 to the RAM slots with OR gate Z102A.
The S4 signal is the address for 32K to 40K of the RAM.
If, while the cartridge is inserted, the +5 volt signal to the OR gate
could be opened, The RAM would then be enabled. If the S5 line to the left
cartridge is also opened, the cartridge chips data output would be tri-
stated. (tri-stated is a third binary output state for digital chips. It
is a high impedance state that electronically disconects the chip from the
data buss).
Since the address lines, A0 to A12, are inputs, they can be left on the
buss. By using a switch, mounted on the case, the programer can select if
RAM or the cartridge ROM is on the data buss. A second switch will do the
same for the right cartridge ROM.
If the S5 enable line, normally going to the left slot, is switched to the
right slot, the right cartridge will be addressed as a left cartridge. You
also have to switch the +5 volt signal from the right cartridge to the
Z102B gate to turn off the 40K to 48K RAM.
I must warn you. If your computer is under warranty, don't modify it!
The parts needed are two minature toggle switches. Both are double pole,
double throw, one is a two posistion (on-on), and the other is a three
posistion (on-off-on) switch. A two foot length of eignt conductor ribbon
cable (Unless you planed ahead and put in a ten conductor ribbon cable
with the reset modification last time) and 10-12 inch lengths of small
insulated wire.
Once you have the parts and tools, proceed to disemble the computer to the
mother board. Don't forget the CMOS handling caution!
_____ 1. Drill a hole near the center of the board for two small wires to
pass through from the top to the bottom of the board. Be careful
not to drill near or through any circuit runs. Hold the mother
board up to a strong light to be able to see the runs on the
bottom of the board and mark the location with a felt pen.
_____ 2. Cut the five runs by making two cuts across the run about 1/16
inch apart, then heat the 1/16 piece with a soldering iron until
it lifts off the board.
1) From R109 to left cartridge pin 14.
2) From feed through to left cartridge pin 12.
3) From Z102 pin 4 to left cartridge pin A.
4) From Z102 pin 5 to feed through.
5) From Z101 pin 5 to feed through.
_____ 3. Run an insulated jumper from Z102 pin 5 to Z101 pin 5. Scrape
the solder mask from the run just above where you made the cuts
and solder the jumper to the run. Be careful with the soldering
iron, remember how easy it was to remove the 1/16 inch cut out
piece? Check your work carefully as you go to be sure the wires
are soldered good and there are no solder bridges between runs.
_____ 4. Mount the connector in the lower right courner of the mother
board, if you did not do so last time.
_____ 5. Run eight wires (I used small, solid, insulated telephone wire)
from the cut circuit runs to the connector as follows.
1) From R108 on the top through the hole to connector pin 5 on the bottom.
2) From Z101 pin 5 on the top through the hole to connector pin 6.
3) From left cartridge connector pin 1 to connector pin 7.
4) From left cartridge connector pin A to connector pin 8.
5) From left cartridge connector pin 12 to connector pin 3.
6) From left cartridge connector pin 14 to connector pin 4.
7) From R109 solder pad to connector pin 1.
8) From Z102 pin 2 (at the feed through) to pin 2.
_____ 6. Drill two holes and mount the cartridge select switches on the
left of the case top. Be sure the center off switch is to the
left when viewed from the top.
_____ 7. The eight wires from the connector plug will now be connected.
Above each wire write in the color of the wire you have coming
from the connector plug.
_____ 8. Solder the two jumpers from the right switch to the left switch.
I used heat shrink tubing on all switch connections to be sure
there are no stray wires to cause shorts. Connect the eight wires
from the connector plug to the cartridge select switches. Then
trace each wire to be sure they are connected properly!
_____ 9. Now is the time to check all of your work carefully to be sure
there are no shorts or solder bridges or frayed wires any where,
and that all connections are proper!
_____10. Reassemble your computer and cable it to your system. Install the
BASIC cartridge in the left slot and set both switches ON (up).
Leave the disk drive off and power up. You should see the
familiar READY prompt on the screen. If you don't then check that
both switches are ON (up). If they are, then you have a mistake
in your wiring. You will have to disemble the computer and check
the wiring again. Be sure to check which pin you used as #1 on
the new connector.
If at first you got the READY prompt then flip the left switch to the OFF
(center) position and do a COLD reset. You should now have the memo pad
title. Flip the left switch down (RIGHT cartridge position) and do a COLD
reset. You should still have the memo pad title.
Flip both switches ON (up), and do a COLD reset. You should have the BASIC
ready prompt. In direct mode exicute the following command. ? FRE(0). The
number you see printed is the amount of free RAM you have. Make a note of
this number then install another cartridge in the RIGHT slot. With both
switches ON (up) you should get the BASIC ready prompt. Execute the ?
FRE(0) command again and compare the number printed on the screen with the
number you got before. It should be 8192 less. This is because the
cartridge in the right slot deselected 8K of RAM. Flip the RIGHT switch
OFF and do a COLD reset then exicute the command ? FRE(0) again. You
should get the original number on the screen, because the right cartridge
has been electronicly removed from the buss.
Flip the LEFT switch OFF (center position) and do a COLD reset. You should
now have the Memo pad title. Flip the LEFT switch to RIGHT (all the way
down) and do a COLD reset and you should see a screen appropriate to the
cartridge you have in the RIGHT slot.
Flip the LEFT switch ON and the RIGHT switch OFF and turn on the disk
drive. When the busy light goes out insert a diskette with DOS on it and
do a COLD reset. The screen should have the BASIC READY prompt, or what
ever is appropriate for the software on your diskette. Flip the LEFT
switch OFF (center posistion) and do a COLD reset. The disk should reboot
and come up with the DOS menu.
I could go on with many different uses for the CARTRIDGE SWITCHES and the
COLD RESET SWITCH, but I think you get the idea. One last idea. If you
have a cartridge to disk copier, you can forget jamming the cover switch
and inserting the cartridge to be copied in the right slot with the power
on. Just insert the cartridge in the right slot and flip the RIGHT
cartridge switch OFF and close the cover. When the software instructs you
to insert the cartridge, just flip the RIGHT switch ON.
I hope you have enjoyed these articles, even if you don't attempt to do
them. If you have any comments or suggestions, fell free to write to me.

<*> ARC SPEED TEST XT vs 130XE
******************************
Well, Atari users, cheer up. I have run a preliminary speed test between
ARC version 5.12 for the IBM and ARC version 2.0 (UNARC version 2.3) for
the Atari.
Hardware:
1. IBM XT DOS 3.3
-Turbo card installed
-internal hard disk
-3.5 in. 720K floppy
2. Atari 130XE 576K SpartaDOS 3.2
-512K RAM DISK
-2 INDUS GT disk drives
The IBM was used in and out of turbo mode. The test was run on the GOE.ARC
file downloaded from GENIE.
Here are the results:
+--------------------------------+-----------------------+
| ARC | UNARC |
+--------------------------------+-----------------------+
| IBM IBM | IBM IBM |
| Hard Disk Floppy | Hard Disk Floppy |
+---------+-----------+----------+-------------+---------+
|Turbo In | 76 | 133 | 39 | 68 |
|Turbo Out| 163 | 212 | 78 | 101 |
+---------------------+----------+-------------+---------+
| Atari Atari | Atari Atari |
| Ram Disk Floppy | Ram Disk Floppy |
+---------------------+----------+-------------+---------+
| 58 | 301 | 26 | 232 |
+---------------------+----------+-------------+---------+
As you can see the Atari with the Ram Disk was faster by 23.7% running
ARC, and 33.3% faster running UNARC compared to the IBM in turbo mode
(64.4% and 66.6% IBM out of turbo).
But the IBM beat the Atari running on the floppy disk. The IBM in turbo
mode was faster by 55.8% running ARC, and 70.7% running UNRC (29.6% and
56.5% IBM out of turbo mode).
It would be interesting to see the results of this test with the Atari
running under SpartDOS X and high speed disk access. So what does this
test tell us? We all know about the slow disk drive access of the Atari.
If drive access speeds were equal on both computers, it looks like the 8
bit Atari would be a very tough competitor of the XT. Or is the ARC/UNARC
program for the Atari more efficient?

Xx IBM Monitor With Your XEP80
______________________________________
by Bob Woolley
If you read my earlier article in DL7 about the XEP80, you might remember
that the XEP80 uses all of the display field of the monitor and the two
cheap composite monitors that I had tried did not give a very satisfactory
display. I have been using a high quality video unit from a NorthStar
Horizon that works very well, but a monitor like that would be very
difficult for the average user to find (not to mention, expensive). I
spent some time at the West Coast Computer Faire looking for some
reasonable candidates, but none of the vendors had composite monochrome
monitors on display! There were lots of monochrome displays with seven
zillion lines of resolution, a built in swivel base, non-glare screens -
the works. Good prices, too! But every one was TTL, IBM. Wellll.........
Never being one to shy away from a little soldering, I decided to
investigate the possibility of adapting the XEP80 to an IBM monochrome
monitor. The IBM TTL monitors have a separate input for the sync and video
signals, whereas the XEP80 generates a composite signal containing all
three components. I figured that a little circuit to strip the Horizontal
and Vertical sync from the Video couldn't be that hard, but it turns out
that the XEP80 has all the signals you need inside the box!
The whole project didn't amount to anything more than soldering one end
of a 10" piece of four conductor ribbon cable onto the XEP80 board and
connecting a 9 pin joystick socket to the other end. I tried the XEP80 on
a standard IBM monochrome monitor and it worked fine! I also tried it on
some OEM TTL monitors made for an IBM PC (an AMDEK 310A and a SAMSUNG
MD1254G) and that also worked well.
After a little pot tweaking (a LOT of tweaking on the SAMSUNG). The XEP80
uses a lower Horizontal frequency than the IBM PC, so some OEM monitors
may require adjustment, but not so much that you need to re-adjust it
between a PC and your Atari. The display field on the TTL units does not
overscan the face of the tube so there is no adjustment required for that
problem. Also, the linearity is very good on these guys, so all the
characters look great!
The major disadvantage to a TTL monitor is the absence of audio on them,
although I prefer a separate audio amplifier anyway. [Enough babbling, I
waannnt one! How do I do the mod, dummy??]
The wiring required is: (from the bottom of the XEP80 board)
Pin 1 and 2 of 9 pin socket to pin 7 of U6.
Pin 7 of 9 pin socket to the pad 1/4 inch to the left of pin 8 of U6.
(This pad is the same distance to the LEFT of pin 8 as pin 7 is to the
RIGHT of pin 8.)
Pin 8 of 9 pin socket to pin 9 of U6.
Pin 9 of 9 pin socket to pin 10 of U6.
I ran the flat cable out where the power switch is mounted. The bottom
cover will clamp the cable between the board and the bottom cover at this
point and provide some strain relief. I would imagine that you could use
a much longer cable, but at some point you will begin to lose character
resolution.
Now, you can take advantage of any good deals you might see on a quality
IBM monitor. I saw many different TTL units for less than $100 at the
WCCF. Most of them looked like much better devices than any composite
monitor I have seen and they are everywhere. If you are reasonably adept
at soldering, or know someone who is, think about using one of these TTL
monitors on your XEP80. The normal composite output is not affected by the
modification at all. Now, if I can hack an IBM keyboard onto this thing.....
