From the news I've  caught up on, there seems to be a st to rf/composite
converter.  Could someone mail the address(es) of the company(ies) that
make this type of  device.

Also, is there any info  on converting a 520/1040 so the 68000 bus is open,
like on the megas.  It would make it much easier to add memory and the
blitter (and other  goodies).

To Atari:
How about yet _another_  OS for theST.  If Beckemeyer's RTX is solid, I say
supplement gem with it.  We NEED a good inexpensive  OS.  As it  is, the choice
is between paying $$$$ for a workable multitasking system or getting  by
with a crippled os.
Atari, wake up and realize that under the  current OS, the ST  is about as
amazing as a PClone running at 10mhz.   already, they have fake multitasking
at a good  price (for them a good price).  Unless there is a clear advantage
to getting an ST instead of the "Industry standard" why get an ST?  If I'm
going to pay $1500 for a Mega 2, I expect more than something that barely
does better than a similarly price PClone.
