Maybe there is somebody who uses this. The interface should only work with the INMOS B004 (or any other PC-Transputer). The only problem might be Atari version of the server software. Maybe the server is available seperately. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - c't back issues and more information can be obtained by: Verlag HEINZ HEISE GmbH Co KG Postfach 610407 D-3000 Hanover 61 Germany (West) the kits can be obtained by: eMedia GmbH Bissendorfer Strasse 8 Postfach 610106 D-3000 Hanover 61 Germany (West) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Disclaimer: I didn't say anything, did I? ----------------- ABELE at AWIWUW11 GG
