Bits&Terminal Jeff<p>Of all the platforms that had success in the 1980s but eventually died off without descendants, the ST Line from Atari is the one I wish would have known even more success. Being able to read/write PC floppies and having a UI not that far off from the Mac at a very low price (for 1985) meant it deserved a better fate, especially when it beat the affordable version of the Amiga by two years.</p><p>Still blaming Tandy for that one; creating an affordable PC jr. clone shaped like a PC and able to use much of the same hardware meant budget buyers flocked to the ubiquitous Radio Shack stores in the US instead of taking a chance on a potentially impressive computer from a company known for gaming.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AtariST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtariST</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Tandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandy</span></a></p>

Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru<p>So, an Atari STe typically has 4 crystals:<br>-One drives the timers, tied to serial line frequencies.<br>-One drives the TV modulator, tied directly to the TV system involved.<br>-One drives the CPU and graphics, tied to the modulator frequency, but with a relationship that might be complex enough not to be able to derive one from the other.<br>-One drives the sound, tied to the CPU frequency of the original NTSC ST (but different from the CPU frequency, even on NTSC machines).</p><p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/DemoScene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemoScene</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/AtariST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtariST</span></a></p>
Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru<p>Me: 6502 is a pain, it adds some spurious memory reads, it must be used with care when operating on addresses where reads have side effects. That makes NES programming a pain. I prefer 68000 for that, it doesn't have any of those glitches.</p><p>Me: 68000 has a spurious memory read on its CLR instruction.

Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru<p>My usual graphics artist and I are starting a new project for Atari ST.
