I find that hard to believe in. Why would Newtek want ST market? There are even
fewer STs on professional use than Amigas. I don't think that Toaster will ever
be reconstructed to any other machine but Amiga 3000 since they won't even
reconstruct it for IBM PC or compatibles. The reason is simple: Amiga is most
suitable for videowork of all major personal computers (well, NeXT may be as
good as Amiga). Toaster for ST/TT is reality only in  your imagination. And
will be.
