Re: Basilisk II Atari
You can not compare DMA "slowdowns"* and stalling CPU during video access. :shock: You said: Even on wikipedia you can read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_512K that effective clock is ~6MHz because of 68000 and video controller took turns accessing DRAM every four CPU cycles d...

Re: Basilisk II Atari
ST is much smarter designed and does not suffer from this problem. I wouldn't be so sure about this. :-) As Stephen writes above, ST/STE/TT and its DMA works on a very similar principle. Yes, I usually printing books all day along so DMA eating my cycles :coffee: and I am looking only few minutes o...

Re: Basilisk II Atari
Actually, the ST with Spectre GCR is only faster because the clock speed is higher than the Mac. Both have contended RAM access for video in the same way. Macs from 1984/85/86 was clocked at ~8MHz, like ST. Even on wikipedia you can read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_512K that effectiv...

Re: Basilisk II Atari
Disc speed much improved, although still half the LCIII. I think 1x is around what I would expect on my ST that has the same slow 8Mhz bus as the Mac Classic. ST is faster than Mac Classic since 68000 in ST is not stalled like in Mac - on Mac, CPU can not access memory while video circuit accessing...

Nice work!
What should I use to clean motherboard from Battery acid?
And what to use in supersoonic bath?

Re: 4mb STFM with accelerator - was there an equivalent way back when?
I don't remember seeing a lot of accelerator cards for the ST in magazines or anywhere else. The most professional uses I ever saw a ST do back then was CuBase and TimeWorks DTP the popular setup was either 2mb or 2.5mb ram upgrade with a external disk drive and sometimes a MegaFile hard drive thin...

Re: WANTED - Atari original injection molds
I have three question: 1) Does anyone seen (in person) those warehouses where Bradley (Best Electronic) keep Atari equipment that he bought from Atari Corp. after bankruptcy? 2) How much did Bradley pay for it? 3) Did he move stuff from Atari warehouses to his own (what is physical address of those ...

Atari Computers serial numbers database (and peripherals)
Hi,
some probably already saw this from atari-forum but here it is:
http://milan.kovac.cc/atari/chipmunk/
It is site where Atari owners can enter serial numbers of their Atari computers (and peripherals) in database.
If you have any suggestions or questions, please email me or write it here!

Re: WANTED - Pico PSU
I have PicoPSU and 120W external AD/DC that power my Falcon with CT63, SuperVidel, SvethLANa and CF card.
I think it is a little bit overkill 120W...
