Thanks mikro and anyone else involved. I too use the native GCC, on my FireBee. So this is really welcomed news.

Is NVDI free? You could simple add NVDI.PRG to you Application .zip (distribution) :) No, its not free, that's why it might be a bad idea to add it to the archive. Indeed. But there's also ENHANCER.PRG, which implements offscreen bitmaps and maybe other NVDI features and may be distributed. I think...

To be fair, Mathias is a nice person on the web too

I agree. Shane's query was very polite. Mathias, you should chill out a bit

@alienkidmj12: Fredi gave you a very sound piece of advice: send back the machine to him. Faulty hardware does happen. Not everything that can go wrong with a computer is software.

I got it to connect to my mailbox then it locked-up and lost all it' settings. Back to MyMail.

It would help if you would report this to Pierre (aka Rajah). He is very quick to react.

Great news, Jean. I look forward to have some free time to try it out.

The Thing desktop displays that in the Info dialog.

It's also a blessing when coding, since rogue pointers generally leads to a program termination rather than a freeze/hang. This is exactly why I'm not using my Firebee for coding anymore. I hear ya. I no longer have a choice since my FireBee is my only Atari but I miss MP a lot. I have to test my c...

You do it exactly the same: all output goes to the VDI handle you got with v_opnbm(). By the way, you are aware this will require NVDI?

On the FireBee, NVDI runs and takes care of this. I know, it's confusing. I never could figure out how the VDI works on that machine

But can you realistically use gcc >= 4 on a real Atari? I guess it depends on what you mean by "real Atari" and "use". I used GCC4 quite a lot on my FalconCT63 and now on my Firebee. I wouldn't dream of using it on a bog standard Falcon or TT though, and I don't compile heavy st...

I have a spare SCSI CD-Drive witch I'd like to plug to the Falcon-CT60.
Witch CD-Driver supports the MC68060?

I used to use ExtenDOS and the CD Writer suite on my CT63. Great piece of software. I still have it if you're interested.

Zorro is no longer involved in the Atari community but since the sources of all his programs are freely available anyone can pick up where he left off and continue his work.

It looks like I have Beta 15. I say "it looks like" because it's not easy to spot.

Late to the party but I also wish to extend my support for this project. I hope you'll find the time and motivation to pull it through.

My TT keyboard and PeST-connected mouse work fine. Boot v2.02. Sometimes I get that annoying key repeat but it can be cured by hitting any key so not a big issue, really.

How do I set trucolor backgounds for jinnee? I've been seeing screenshots of jinnee with really nice backdrops online however when I do it, the icon labels disappear. I really want to use jinnee but this problem annoys me to no end I don't use MyAES but I seem to remember it's a known issue with Ji...

(video is still slow, People probably say that because they use 32-bit modes as they think more is better. But it's not. 16-bit means 50% less traffic on the flex-bus (CPU->FPGA) which is the real bottleneck. I was intrigued by this so I tried the 16bit mode on my FireBee. I can't say that I've not...

But what is the last version that will work on a 8+3 file system STE? I have a Papyrus X and it is all long filename so I assume was ment for the Falcon (does TT do long file names?) I need an english version that will run on my mega STE 4mb I don't think Papyrus X will be happy with 4MB anyway. I ...

Indeed. US $2.33 for a PCI network card? I would gladly pay ten times more... Strange times we're living in.

Is this program, thing 1.5 or later, still available anywhere? It was on AtariForge, which has been down for a while. I'm not sure it's available anywhere else yet, but people are bound to have sources and binaries of it (edit: see this post: http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=335947#p33594...

Useful stuff, Thorsten. I only tested the programs quickly on my Firebee and unfortunately spdview.prg froze it. Running it with the 68k emulator works though, and the other two programs ran fine as they are.
