GDOS DRIVER USAGE

   The GDOS.PRG file should be in the AUTO  folder  and  the
   ASSIGN.SYS  file  should  be in your root directory.  The
   directory defined in the path name within your ASSIGN.SYS
   file  should  contain all screen, meta, and printer fonts
   as well as all device drivers (eg SLM804.SYS).

| *** Atari SLM804 Printer Caveats *** |
|______________________________________|


(1)  If an SLM804 Laser Printer is connected to the ST  Hard
     Disk  (DMA bus) port, then the printer must be powered-
     on in order for  floppy  or  hard  disk  operations  to
     occur.

(2)  For the best print results on an SLM804 Laser  Printer,
     set  up  the application software to maintain a minimum
     half-inch left and right page margin.
