    OK guys:
A) as to the Atari ST being posted in the 8bit board.....

   I remember Tramiel buying Atari in '84 and all the old atari management
popping up at commodore, and I remember the designer of the ANTIC chip
creating a new and sophisticated chip for graphics and placing it in a new
computer called the amiga.....so which computer is REALLY the next generation
of atari....I don't consider the ST it....
So why post about stuff that doesn't even interface with the 8bit line
(except as a printer buffer) in theis base....

Oh, I now own an IBM.....

Ah the disk drive is the indus GT....great drive, but they went out of business
]just as the ST arrived I believe.....but did they ever come out with something
I believe was called the Ethernet?????


As to the DIRT program...3bit binary number stored in one byte??

if the number is in the last three bits, just 

AND #$10
that shoulddo it....
