We're here!  Landon Dyer has not got me wired up to our VAX yet, but I have
managed to find my way into usenet anyway.  Hope I can find a good book on
Unix in a hurry!

The next shipment of 520ST computers will have the following video signals:
70 Hz High-resolution monochrome (works on mono monitor ONLY)
60 Hz RGB Analog
      Composite Video
Modulated Rf signal
    The last 2 on the list are new.  All _except_ monochrome will work on
color modes, low & medium res.

The new ST systems are due any day now.  Hope this message gets out to you all
am still learning this...

Can I assume that you are an employee of Atari? I guess that you might want to 
introduce yourself. I got the idea that you are maybe the answer to our dreams
(an actual official conduit from Atari to the NET) If so, can we start 
directing questions to you? In any case welcome! We would love to have the same
sort of response that Amiga gives through their hookup to the NET. If
you teach us about the ST we will teach you about Unix. Deal?

Neil,

	Hi!
	Great to have Atari on the net! Rumors fly fast and furious around
here.  Hopfully you will be able to improve the accuracy of net
information. Can you also supply technical information
(hardware/software) when specific questions are asked about the 520?

Can do.  Since I am not a systems programmer, there are some questions I
won't know the answers to right away -- but I have access to those who do.
And, of course, I have the availability info that seems to have been lacking
here.

Speaking of which, as stated in my last message -- the 1040ST shipment has
definitely arrived in the US warehouse and should be going out to dealers
shortly.  Dealers who buy through distributors should call to find out which
distributors carry the 1040's, all others should call their rep or Atari
direct.

Neil,

Maybe one of the questions you could answer for us is: What is your pathname 
and can we send you mail?

I have looked over the newsite info but can not find out to which machine(s) 
you are connected. Can you or anyone else help out?


Thanks!
