[hemmerling] The ATARI-ST, the ATARI Falcon & the world of Digital Data Deicke
History and Motivation for this Page
- Once I owned an ATARI-ST computer with 4 MByte RAM, a MEGAFILE harddisk with 2 x 60 MBytes capacity, a color and a monochrome monitor. I was running the operating system ATARI-TOS with GEM and the realtime operating systemsRTOS-UH and Microware OS-9.
- In Summer 2004, I got as gift for free.
- A modified ”ATARI Falcon” computer, in a “DDD desktop case”, by DDD Digital Data Deicke, with external CD-ROM SCSI drive. With the special “DDD desktop case”, the joystick jacks 0 and 1 are exchanged, i.e. you must plug in the mouse in jack 1 instead of jack 0 !
- An ATARI Mega-ST 2, with external harddisk “ddd MicroDisk” by “DDD Digital Data Deicke” and with “ddd HD-Modul II” by DDD Digital Data Deicke for high density diskdrives.

- AtariAge "German Atari Mega ST Keyboard" ( JPG ) ⇒ ATARI-ST QUERZU keyboard.
- Phil Storrs PC Hardware book. The Scan Code values generated by the PC Keyboard ⇒ PC QUERTY keyboard, but with hexadecimal scan codes
. - Keyboard Layout Info "German Layout Scancodes" ⇒ PC QUERZU keyboard, but with hexadecimal scan codes .
- Keyboard maps:
- The original Hatari keyboard mapping is for ATARI-ST QUERTY keyboard: As with an English EmuTOS, the ST scan codes are always interpreted as scancodes of the ATARI-ST QUERTY keyboard, there will never be German Umlaute ( äöü,... ) on the screen . As scancodes do not differ if a SHIFT or CTRL is pressed, the assignment of a scancode to up to 3 different character symbols is fixed .
- “C:\Program Files (x86)\hatari\doc\keymap-sample.txt” - Current infos.
- So if you want to use Hatari on a PC with German keyboard, you must install a German ATARI-ST operating system ( e.g. TOS 1.62 Deutsch, TOS 2.06 Deutsch & TOS 2.07 Multilanguage, TOS 3.06 Deutsch, TOS 4.04 Deutsch ). But even then, you won´t have much fun, as you can´t input some US ASCII characters ( [, \, ], {, |, }, ~ ).
