The easiest way to get a random number is with the XBIOS random
function.  

FUNCTION Random : Long_Integer ;
XBIOS(17) ;

This returns a 24 bit random number.

I usually use an escape sequence to do this.

write(chr(27),'E') ;   { ESCAPE 'E' -- CAPITAL E -- clears the screen }

This information comes out of Atari ST Internals from Abacus
Software, but there is apparently another book available that is a
lot better organized, though the name escapes me...I can find it if
there's any interest.

According to the April '89 issue of STart, FutureDOS (a Canadian company)
will soon be releasing an Ethernet controller board 
called TAXI (The Atari eXtended Interface) for the 520s, 1040s and 
Megas. (The 520s and 1040s communicate thru the DMA port, while the
Mega uses the internal bus.)

For further info:
	FutureDOS R&D
	1207-120 Torresdale Ave
	North York, Ontario
	M2R 3N7
	(416) 736-0321

The price of the boards is expected to be in the $1K-$2K range.
