**** This is a re-posting of a message that was lost over Christmas ***

Last summer I announced that we were developing an IEEE-488 cartridge
interface for the ST.
The interface has now been completed and tested. We have contracted a private
company to manufacture and market the product. Here are the details:

        The IEEE-488 interface is a module fully shielded in a metal box
        measuring about 4.6x3.6x1.1 inches. It connects to the cartridge
        port of the Atari ST and provides full talk/listen/control capability
        to the IEEE-488 bus through a standard 24-pin connector.

        It allows the ST to be used as a low-cost programmable controller
        or data logger for IEEE-488 instruments in applications NOT requiring
        a hardware interrupt facility.

        Software supplied with the module includes a driver program that can
        be called by a number of languages (eg. TDI Modula-2, GFA Basic,C,etc..)


                Price  Canadian $ 478 (module and software)
                package and shipping(air mail) Canada $10 USA $15
