Please, if you're going to post, say SOMETHING FACTUAL. from what atari has
said (and I don't really think we should be talking about a computer which
doesn't exist yet), the Atari '030 box will run System V unix, i.e. REAL
AT&T Unix. Happy? Binary compatible Unix?

Let's talk about the Atari ST in this group. Atari's '030 box is NOT
targeted at the same market as the ST, from what they've said. This isn't
the place for rumors about non-ST hardware.
