Well, I've been looking at it, and it seems to be driven off of one of the NMI interrupts, and he is doing full page stack copies on context switch. There are 2 tasks set up. The basic idea for multitasking is to preserve the stack and all of the CPU registers for each task, and then copy them down for a context switch. In practice page zero locations, at least some of them, need to be preserved as well, due to the fact that page 0 is used as virtual registers a lot.

I am trying to find a VGA monitor that can be used with my Mega STE. I have a special cable from best electronics that converts the 13 pin DIN from the Mega to VGA. That seems to work fine for mono output, but the color output horizontal scan rate is around 15khz, which is out of range for all of my monitors. So...I am looking for a currently produced monitor that has a horizontal frequency low of 15khz...or some suggestions as to how to locate a used monitor that has that HF scan rate ( besides ebay )..*OR* an answer to this question : I know about VGA upscan converters...I know these take composite/RGB and upscan it to standard VGA...but can they be used to 'upscan' the horizontal frequency? The one I have has a VGA input, but I kind of thought maybe that was just a passthrough, but now I am wondering if it could double the horizontal frequency scan rate on the way through.

.byte = 8 bits .word = 16 bits I think, I am no assembler guru.

Such as? And whats SLI anyways...I am gathering its some kind of new dual card protocol but other than that I know nothing. Do you need special motherboard support for SLI?

Dude : its 'waste', not 'waist'. Waist is what your holds in your lap. Waste as a verb means to destroy, or lose, or use fruitlessly.

The sites not real clear about getting to a product page. http://www.atarimax.com/order/paypalorder.html The cable is called APE Interface (APE-to-Atari Interface Cable, SIO2PC Compatible)

Haha! I *LAUGH* at your paltry collection! You are missing the GREATEST CONTROLLER OF THEM ALL! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8182699679

The SIO connector + software (APE) from www.atarimax.com is very, very nice and makes cross development a snap. In addition to being able to access any ATR file ( and others ) from the PC hard drive, you can host a 16MB atari 'hard drive' on your PC, and also you can mount a PC directory as if it were an atari disk. So I use CC65 from www.CC65.com to develop for the 8-bit, and my executables get written directly to an atari-readable 'disk' file. So the dev cycle is very fast, no transferring required. The atarimax software is not free, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

The bid price is apparantly affected by the number of exclamation points in the text.

I have a small IO board that I was considering trying to interface to a joystick port. The board has AD type pin inputs. I was wondering what actually happens electrically to the pins on a joy stick port...that is, if a pin is configured for output, and I write a 1 on it, does the external pin now carry a voltage? I know very little about the hardware side of this kind of interfacing. I see a lot about pins and +5/-5 or 0 volts, which makes me think that turning 'on' a pin means applying a voltage...eh to it, or across it, or whatever. Any clues from you hardware gurus?

Do any of the major atari 8 bit emulators allow for using a faked out R: handler to open a network socket connection?

How bout BreakMark or LawyerBall

omg you made coffee come out my nose, Tom. LOL. Triguns ok. Whatever it is that he thinks he is doing, he seems to have at least a decent sense of humor about it. I don't really consider him a troll.

You are mistaking experience and common sense for 'negativism'. This aint the movies, "if you only BEELEEEVE in yourself" aint gonna cut it.

Rape is never ok. It's never understandable. It's never excused. But, it happens all the time, unfortunately. The Indians themselves, while clearly the victims in this particular age, also practised it and various other forms of mayhem with great enthusiasm upon each other and on the invading europeans.

This guy Sid actually sent me a PM of his last post here...I guess he wanted to make sure I'd see all his killer points and feel bad about how I don't agree with him.

I tihnk you have to swap out ROM chips.

Go look on Ebay? But barring that...maybe open up your comp and reseat your memory and whatever other chips if possible. Pop out and clean any edge connector cards ( if it has any, I cant remember ). Leave it on for a bit and see if any chip ( other than the cpu ) gets HOT. A hot chip usually means a bad chip. BE CAREFUL poking around with the power on, and DO NOT WEAR YOUR TINFOIL SUIT.

I think everyone here is in favor of good hot mutuallly consenterated sex. And the in-game Gen. Custer is defnitely naughty. He obviously is trying to compensate for the poor resolution of his member.

eh...or not, as the case may be. And I think you gusy are ignoring another key aspect of the (RL) Gen. Custer : he was an idiot. Really stupid. Lucky, handsome, well born, but a dumbass. Any frikkin moron could have told him that last fight was a strategically Really Bad Idea.

Ok.....hardware lust grips me yet again....any opinions on what is the best video card out there currently? Cost is not really a factor. I mean, I don't want to drop 60k on a scientific visualization card thats more powerful than all the desktops in East Anglia put together...well, at least while they havent ported Duck Hunt yet. But I owuld like to get a kickbutt video card. Any ideas?

Well, a hot pink Darth Vader woulda been teh suq.
