   As a contributing author to DesTerm, and with Matthew Desmond (the
author) on the voice line as I type this, this comes as a surprise to us.

   DesTerm 128 v2.00 does indeed support Dr. Evil Labs' 6551 ACIA
cartridge, but as of yet no discussions have taken place regarding the
distribution of DesTerm with the unit. We rather like the idea and we'll
discuss it with the folks from Dr. Evil Labs, but for the time being that
announcement is a bit premature.

   Theoretically, if your have a multi-cartridge board. We're about to
test that (imagine downloads to REU at 38,400 bps!)
