Lines: 48 Hi netters, With all this talk about Turbo ST and Quick ST, I decided to put it to the test on my machine. I have an Atari 520STFM upgraded to 2.5MB and TOS 1.0 I am using Quick ST V2.2D-(Demo Version) and Turbo ST V1.6D-(Demo version). I received these figures:- Quick ST 2.2D Turbo ST 1.6D Low Resolution -------------- Tos Text 266% 454% Tos String 452% 864% Tos Scroll 176% 174% Gem Dialog 158% 199% Medium Rsolution ---------------- Tos Text 355% 361% Tos String 1845% 1428% Tos Scroll 178% 182% Gem Dialog 231% 187% High Resolution --------------- Tos Text 335% 339% Tos String 1311% 1270% Tos Scroll 181% 186% Gem Dialog 229% 212% I would like to see what people get with a similar setup, but with both commercial versions rather than the demos.
