in the german magazine 'ST magazine' dated 5/89 there is a discription of a extremely simple and low-cost (2 dollar) change discriped, that gives the atari a resolution of 840*568 points (on a normal atari monochrome monitor sm124/125) programs like 1st word plus, calamus or gfa basic 3.04 seem to run perfectly using this increased graphics area. Besides the hardware change (2 diodes, 2 resistors, 1 transistor, 1 capicitor, and one switch) the only thing needed is a small program to tell GEM about the bigger area. I didn't test it yet. I will not test it, until someone else can tell me if uniterm will use this enlarged area if uniterm is in graphics mode. frans van hoesel univ. of groningen the netherlands
