I've just finished reading a mag stating the TT's x-control panel
actually runs fine on an ordinary ST.

So, people@atari.uucp (Ken B., Ken S., Allan, Derek etc): I think
it would be in the in the best interest to Atari, ST users AND TT
users if this thing got around.
It looks like the Atari programmers did a real nice job. Why not
make this effort worthwile and cut us loyal ST-users and programmers
in too?

ST compatibility means the world of ST programmers can create
nice XPD's (is that what the're called, X-panel devices?) if
only the x-cp and the documentation on creating modules for
it comes widely available.

I like the idea of modular machine configuration accs - I like
it on my Macs, and think it would help my ST too.

Let's all make this thing work, people; you guys from Atari,
please give us the opportunity to do so.
