No word on Unix pricing yet (an audience member dogged him until he had to repeat "has not been finalized" a few times). No way to switch between TOS and Unix on the same TT. The techie said that to do so would slow the machine down too much, since they'd have to build an emulator "similar to PC Ditto". This is kind of an unfair comparison, since the processor wouldn't have to be emulated -- all you should need is a toggle for two different ROMS, and a 2-type hard disk partitioning scheme. But they said that the hard disk purchased will determine the (one) operating system. ..................................................................... bob brodie came to our last months users group meeting. I asked him about unix and he started talking about "at&t version 4" (??). he also said there was both some kind of hardware problem and a small problem in the source from at&t. unix XOR tos? big :-( -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- chuck bridgeland---anarchoRepublican "one thing about a police state, you can always find the police" l. neil smith chuck@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu hire me so I can quit this pit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
