Hello netters,

a) You have no good monitor
b) You have only a 360KB Drive, really boring
c) Mostly you have only 512K RAM, in the best way 640K, the emulators
   offer minimal 704K
d) You have difficulties to transfer data from one to the other machine
e) You have no mouse on this XT
If you have a good AtariST, lets say with HD and up to 3MB a good
solution can be the new Emulator named Delta Module here in germany with
1MB RAM, which can be used under TOS as well and 16MHZ 80386SX for ca
1000$. For 200$ more you can plug in a 80387SX, of course clever kinds
can use it as co-processor under TOS two and this processor has 16bit
out and 32bit in as well as Atari. XT's are no good with no HD and good
screen etc. but the PC-Speed with NECV20 is okay on a atari. It runs
comparable to a XT with 10MHZ and makes CGA and Hercules. A Atari co-
processor can be used like a 8087. In the Supercharger you can plug
in a 8087, but it makes only cga, no good for your eyes. In the Delta
Module you can have 32KB Cache for 50$. PC-Speed uses the Atari-Ram with
704KB direct under DOS and the rest, up to ca 3MB in a Mega ST4 as Ram-
disk. In Supercharger 512KB are standard, but 1MB can be plugged in.
When you built PC-Speed in your machine garantie goes lost, Supercharger
uses the DMA-Port, but this can be weak at some computers. If you only
use fast DOS-Programs frequently you can use the software PC-Ditto, it's
price should go down when PC-Ditto II is on market.
Okay enough of that. Greetings
