How To Get A Blitter Upgrade: ============================ Either: 1a. Own a 1040 with a blitter socket, or 1b. Buy a ST accellerator board with a blitter socket. 2. Have your dealer order you a replacement blitter and some TOS roms that can handle it (either Mega ROMS (easy) or Rainbow TOS (harder)). 3. Plug in blitter and ROMS. Note the small speed increase, since you're running TurboST or QuickST already... 4. Decide that this upgrade wasn't worth the money. Ever wonder if marketing reasons might keep Atari from doing something stoopid? I used to be waiting for a blitter. Now I know it isn't worth the money. Can we stop beating this dead horse and talk about something interesting? ------ Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu I'm not the NRA.
