           No, our OS is not multi-tasking.  There are a couple of multi-
           tasking OS's available:
                MT-Cshell, from Beckemeyer Development tools
                OS-9 from MicroWare

           Don't know, sorry.

> 	3. Who supplies what hard disks for the ST?
	   Atari makes the SH204, a 20 meg hard disc.
           Supra makes a couple of hard discs for the ST.

> 	4. Does X Windows run on the ST?
	   Don't think so--I haven't heard of anyone porting this
           over.

> 	5. Does GNU emacs or a micro emacs run on the ST?
           There are a couple of good PD MicroEMACS available.
           I use MicroEmacs 3.7i, which I find is a good tool.
