I just heard some interesting rumors.

1. The IBM emulator is finished and is going into production and should
   be out by X-Mass at a price of $300. Plugs into the cartridge port.

2. The Atari TT is going right on schedule and should be announced and
   shown at COMDEX in November. It is a 68020 based system with 4 megs RAM.
   It also supports a 1024x1024 resolution screen.

Questions for Niell and others:

1. I heard that the IBM emulator does NOT support graphics. Will it ever?
   If it does, when?

2. Does the TT run UN*X? I do know that Atari DID liscence it (UN*X).
   Is it an upgrade for the 1040/520 or is it a separate machine?
   What price range am I looking at? I heard that it's release date is
   January, how correct is it?

BTW, on I*S Talk, I finally got in touch with Batteries Included. They
told me that the programmer is WORKING on fixing *my* copy. I dunno what
they are up to up there, but they said that they would ship the fixed version
back to me this Friday.
