                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here some documentation for this Small but Handy Tool. 

This program is used to Send/Port over files from one Atari to another Atari
by using the PARALLEL Port . 

You will need a MODIFIED Cable !!!! This will NOT Work with an Ordinary
Parallel Cable !!!
2
The Busy and the Strobe have to be switched on ONE of the Connectors of your 
Parallel Cable !

That is Pin 1 and 11 ( in case you didnt know ! ) , just switch them around 
on ONE Connector only , it doesnt matter on which computer you put the 
Modified Connector !

The DATADUMP program can be loaded as a Program or Renamed to a ACC file.

So for who might this program be interesting ? If you run a BBS like i used
to on the Atari and you have a Second Atari , it is handy to send files 
across without taking the BBS down and at FAST Speed ! Its a whole LOT Faster
then ANY of these SERIEEL or MIDI Networks i have come across so far.. 

I used it for HiT & RuN ( ELITE WHQ ) to  send files across from the BBS 
( a Mega ST 2 ) towards my Falcon 030 . Of cause it does work both ways ,
i could also send from the Falcon towards the BBS .

The DATADUMP has already been modified to work with the Falcon , since that
machine has to be switched back to 8 MHZ like the standard Atari ST . 
So if you have any Speeders like i have to Boost your Falcon to 32 MHZ 
( you have to turn it off... ) otherwise it wont work..

This program has been tested in between an  : ATARI 1040 ST <=> Falcon 030
                                              ATARI 1040 ST <=> ATARI 1040 ST
                                              ATARI 1040 ST <=> Mega ST 2
                                              ATARI 1040 ST <=> ATARI 1040 STE

I have used it for 6 Months and had No problems what so ever..

Also i DONT take no responsibility for ANY Damage that you might encounter , 
while using this program ! And that possibility is there all right !! 
So read the WARNING tekst with EXTRA CARE !!!!

WARNING !!! Read the down below Information Extra CAREFULLY !!
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

One thing you have to be carefull about if you are planning on using this 
program . 
Since the Parallel Port of the Atari Computers isnt bufferd as on the PC , 
but is being controlled by the Soundchip , you ALWAYS have to FOLLOW the 
EXACT Instructions on SCREEN as given by the DATADUMP Program !!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER ever Plug the cable in while BOTH Computers are Powerd ON ! 
DO this and one of your sound chips will be FUCKED down for Good !

If you think you have done something stupid , or selected the wrong thing.. 
Just turn one of your Computers OFF !

So best thing to do is turn One Computer On , and then the Next one.. 
Not Both at the same time ..

No thanks to ATARI for having such an easy way of Blowing Up your Soundchip .
Idiots..not even the Falcon has Bufferd Ports yet to protect you from 
blowing something up by accident so be Fucking Carefull !!

I could have released this Program about a Year ago..but i came across it 
when Cleaning up the Harddisk of my Falcon which i am about to sell..
Its not that its a bad machine , its the best 68000 machine there , but i 
seem to rarely use it these dayz.. But not to worry my BBS will keep 
supporting ATARI software .

Piracy for LIFE !
 
And who said were all EVIL , and dont do anything usefull then just 
corrupting the SCENE with Fucked Over software ? Does anybody have any clue
how many EX-Pirates/Hackers are working for the Big Software Houses , and 
producing some of the Quality software that we all enjoy ?

I guess not.. If i read all this bullshit about Piracy has killed the ATARI
software market , it seems that Dickheads like that seem to be holding the
wrong side of the stick every other time.. 

PC has killed the ATARI , cheaper Hardware , plenty of software .
And Miljoens of IDIOTS believings its a GOD's Gift to mankind..

Piss Off to those wetdream wankers of FAST/ESLA/SPA/IAAD and more impotant
morons that are Full of them selves ! May AID's rule you soon !
At least thats ONE Real Fucking Virus..to bad it isnt programmed..

Hasta !
Sledge Hammerski in 95 !
