While I cannot, in my official capacity here, cast aspersions on Digital Research, there are certainly those who echo Bill Wood's sentiments. The bottom line is, GEM was there when we needed it. The alternative, Windows, would have probably taken an extra year, a year we could not afford. We've been working hard at going through the code and making it work as best we can, especially in the case of problems (like the 40 folder limit) that turn up as we go along. All in all, a most interesting set of observations, Bill. > By the way Neil, if you are reading this, I sure hope that you > guys will remember us when you get around to designing you 32-bit > system.

As a matter of fact, the system you describe is almost exactly what we're working on. In the works is a 68020-based system which has none of its own I/O except for a pair of DMA ports. It will plug into the back of a current ST computer and act as a high-powered number cruncher. The 68881 and Motorola MMU will also be part of the hardware, with UNIX system V or some close relation being the software part. The ST acts as a "genius terminal". --->Neil Harris @ Atari...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil BIX: neilharris / CIS: 70007,1135 / Delphi: NEILHARRIS / GENIE: NHARRIS WELL: neil / Atari Corp.

Boot up with the control panel installed, and after you get the desktop, open a disk window. Then open the Control Panel and re-select the disk window over it. If you now try to select anything on the control panel via the right-button deal the system will come to a screeching halt. This sounds like a bug to me. ------------------------------ Date: 4 Mar 87 19:38:05 GMT From: sdcc6!sdcc12!st69@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu (Este Sikstinon) Subject: MegaST bus specification?
