The Atari ST   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #757 of 773 |
I realize this list is for the Commodore. Thank you all for helping me
to understand more about the Amiga and it's place in the computer world.

I have several more questions. My first question is could the 1581 work
on the Amiga? If it can, it this feasible or advisable? Likewise,
could the Amiga 3.5 drive work on the C128D?

The reason I titled this email about the Atari ST is that I did some
research about this to see how compatible it was and it's place in the
computer world. When I was reading about the
Amiga, still when I was using a C128D, I would hear things about how
great the Atari ST is. After doing my research, I was not that
impressed with it even though it had a graphical
user interface on it as well. I realize the the Amiga and Atari ST were
both 16-bit computers, with those limitations.

So my question is, how compatible (with the GUI) is or was the Atari ST
with the Amiga 4000 or earlier versions? Why were these pitted against
one another? What is a side by side comparison of the two?

My last question about the Amiga (you all have pretty much answered
this) is why wasn't all the Print Shop and Print Master programs
produced for the Atari ST being that it was 16-bit and had a GUI when
those programs were popular on 8-bit computers?

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

The Amiga and Atari ST were considered extreme competitors in the mid to late 80's. In fact, Jack Tramiel, founder and president of Commodore actually left...
