Any comments Dave Small? Demnaechst means "real soon now". This ranges from weeks to years. I know of an engeneer, who tried to add Appletalk to the ST. The prototype board plugs to the Centronics (printer) port and has Appletalk, Apple Desk Top Bus and Centronics outputs. Works pretty well with an hacked version of Aladin (the german Stectre competitor). The bad news: It's exspensive. It does not make sense to pay DM 2000 for a Mac-emulator if you can get a Mac for DM 4000... hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP Dennis had stepped up into the top seat whet its founder had died of a lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a Ferrari and a bottle of tequila.
