Um.... yeah.... that' what I said, isn;t it?  OK, so I DIDN't say it,
but that's what I >MEANT<.  Old boy got confused.  SOrry abou that, it is
Cirtech and not Insync that is making the duet card.

It it is translating the mac calls to GS.os calls it must be coping the GS/OS
calls into some sort of form that the 68000 can use.  After all, the Duet 
does use the 68000 chip, right?  Is there any news on the release date yet?
An announcement yet (officail)?
