   with the card.

	OS2 drivers for the Ultrasound are on the way.  Electronic Arts
   seems to be pushing the Ultrasound quite heavily.  EA owns a lot of
   other software companies ( just got Origin ), so I'll bet Ultrasound
   support is not far off.

	I have a SBPro and am running OS2.  I have had very few problems
   with that combination.  I have to admit though, as nice as the SBPro
   is I'm thinking of getting the Ultrasound.

True, but you're missing the point.  NT is not being made portable for people
who have already decided to get an Alpha or R4000 machine.  Instead, Microsoft
is thinking about the huge number of x86 owners who want their DOS/Windows
applications, but are looking for performance which Intel does not provide.

No, an Alpha/VMS or R4000/UNIX user isn't going to give NT a second thought.
On the other hand, a DOS or Windows user won't buy a RISC machine unless it
has NT.

1. The A4000 _has been shipping_ in Germany for two weeks now. 
   It is available since October 2nd here. And I am not the
   only one who got his machine on that very first day.
   It looks currently like the A4000 will be a great success
   here. Rumor has it that Commodore Germany already sold
   all machines they had in stock. My dealer got 50 machines
   and already sold ALL OF THEM. Then again, a price tag
   of around DM 4000 mail order is _very_ attractive, so this 
   is no big wonder. 

2. The HD drive in the a1200 is not confirmed at all yet.
   AmigaPlus 11/92 wrote in their A1200 review that it is
   currently planned to be released with a 880k floppy.
   Of course, a high density drive would suit the machine 
   far better, especially with the big picture files 
   caused by the high resolution AA modes.

So what? Few DOS programs support it. Windows does, but then you're in an
environment that few people consider to be elegant, attractive, etc...Moreover,
you still have hassles with that old 640k nonsense and QEMM, 386MAX, etc...won'tget your CD, network, etc...working in a seamless fashion (if you can ever get
past the DMA and IRQ problems).
 
Here's a simple one for you. HP makes a printer called the DeskWriter (500 or
the new 550) C. It basically lives on True Type fonts which Windows has
embraced. Now try to get Windows to print to it over an Appletalk network.
In fact, in the whole world there is not one Windows' Appletalk program (the
Farallon program needs to be started from DOS), only 1 (maybe2) Appletalk
boards that will work on PC's faster than 25MHz, etc...
 
Jerry in his cheap AMD clone pricing adds in the UltraSound card. What he
forgot to mention was that only a handful of programs support it. No OS/2
support and in fact the depressing reality that OS/2 is not going to 
overcome Windows means that PC users will be facing their 25 types of memory
for years, and people will still be trying to get SB support in a DOS box
under OS/2.
 
There are few nice things to say about the PC. The clones have been good I
suppose and it might be a different story were C= and Apple to allow some
licensing of their technologies.
 
I've been in and out of the PC world for years now. It's still just a glorified

Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 17:07:46 GMT

   It seems many of you still don't understand anything, so I'm going to say it
one more time.  Hopefully a caught your attention so all the clueless people
out there can read the following:

THE A4000 HAS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVLY NO USE FOR A DEINTERLACER!!!!

   Got it?  Do you understand?  The "Double" modes eliminate flicker.  Some    
illegal programs will open there own screen - thus causing flicker.  Not only
will these programs get fixed - but there are already a host of utilities that
will force all programs into these double modes.  Thus SOFTWARE will cause a
DEINTERLACED rock steady display.  Do we all understand this?               
   Good, I hope I won't have to read this crap anymore.  And, imo, 256,000
colors out of a palatte of 16 mil possible in ALL available resolutions one
hell of a "base" display.  It's enough to get you photorealistic and more than
enough for multimedia applications (Amiga's american market, for those of you
who havn't noticed).

The tribute album is called 'Surprise your pig'. No sonic youth on it.
Mostly it's a lot of second - tier noice bands doing trash cover of various
REM songs. Not bad from what I've heard on the REM mailing list. For sonic
youth doing cover you need to get The Bridge - A Tribute to Neil Young,
which has a lot of art/trash type doing Neil Young covers. Very good.

  99.9% of all non-local-bus-video-PC clones have their SVGA and IDE wired
to the ISA bus.  Just because its on the motherboard doesnt mean it's

Ok, just read the newest statistics about market shares here in Germany.
Source: "PC Magazin" issue of 23.09.92 and IDC
Title:   PC Market Germany 1991

A) Percentage shares of value (total: 7.3 bill DM, ca. 4.9 bill US$)
   1. IBM       15.8
   2. SNI        8.1   (Siemens-Nixdorf)
   3. Compaq     7.4
   4. Apple      6.6
   5. Commodore  6.5
   6. Vobis      5.1   (ultra-cheap clone distributor/assembler)
   7. Atari      2.9

B) Percentage shares of unit numbers
   1. Commodore 28.3   (obviously also home computers counted)
   2. Vobis     10.2
   3. IBM        7.0
   4. Atari      4.1
   5. SNI        3.5
   6. Schmitt    3.4   (similar to Vobis)
      Compaq     3.4
   8. Aquarius   3.2
      Apple      3.2

So Atari still lives, Apple has caught up value-wise, but Commodore still
dominates in visibility: Every fourth (even more!) computer sold here was
a Commodore!

Can't tell at all what sort of computers is counted in which of the
tables, e.g. whether our home computer sales are counted under A).

well, it wasn't really interlace i was complaining about...I really reall

Well, I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there.  The pre-beta
developer's version comes only on CD-ROM, but the final release is
supposed to come on floppies as well.  The devkit apparently includes
a compiler, libraries (for all the different API's I assume - Win16,
Win32, DOS, POSIX), lots of example code, and on-line docs, in
addition to NT itself which is probably bloated up with debugging
code, so CD-ROM distribution makes sense.

(Incidentally, the RAM requirement is more like 12-16meg)

Then I guess I'm a duck, 'cause that strange, bald guy who likes to sing
opera at 7 in the morning, a.k.a. mylandlord, likes to find checks for $400
from me in his mailbox by the first of each month :)

Now all I need is an A4000 without the scanlines or flicker, and I'll be
all set.

Seriously, does anyone know if (contrary to a certain poster in
c.s.a.misc who will remain anonymous) the A4000 has a 640x400 flicker free
mode, like the A3000 (but, hopefully, with 256 colors)?

Cute.
