(BEGIN :-) I believe that Apple were working on clones of these before they got Landon and that IBM managed to get a prototype running but he has a segment size problem. Makes me wish we were US registered developers instead of UK forgotten ones. 1 * Atari(US) = 10 * Atari(UK) And hey 'no fair' Atari(US), you got Richard Miller from us so how about giving us someone back. (END :-) Seriously though ... Update on the UK Developers Support:- Acting on a tipoff that Atari UK were selling TOS 1.4 on EPROM, I phoned them up. The phone answerer was either someone new or had been told to shape up her act. I got through to Bob Katz right away (amazing eh!). I asked him about chipsets and he said they were avaiable from sales and that I should hurry as there were only 3 sets left. I then pressed him about updated documentation and he said that I would get that too. I have sent him four letters since July and asked about TOS1.4 in all of them but he never told me it was available by letter,fax or phone. I now understand that they have been selling chipsets to any TD|H who asked for one, not just developers! So I ordered a chipset. I phoned later to chase it up and they don't know what I'm talking about. The 3 sets are gone too! There is a head shaped dent in my wall now. I dunno, what's a guy to do? You can be sure I'll post any new developments. Right that's enough soapbox exercise for today ... +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !
