  Tony, the application plainly stated that submitting one was no guarantee

  No, but I'm not beta testing a frigging operating system either, I don't

  I'm well aware of the piracy that goes on with the PeeCee, I have to put 
up with that crap daily.  Honestly though, I never heard a peep about MS-DOS
5 or Windows, and they're both widely used where I work.

  It would make sense that there were leaks though, I guess I notice it more
with the Amiga as I'm more involved with it than the PeeCee.

Of course, I differ.  When I can run Mac software on a screen and still
have Workbench running, then Mac software is running on the Amiga like
OS/2 runs DOS and windows.

Marc is a registered developer, that means he is supposed to be
developing products, if he isn't then he shouldn't be a registered
developer.  Thus, it is Marc's job to be productive.
The point of registering as a developer is not to gain inside info just
to have the extra knowledge, its so that the info can be used to better
your products.
I personally do not know if Marc has developed any products.  I haven't
seen any with his name on it, but I haven't seen every Amiga product.
So Marc, what have you developed?
(and before you ask me what I have developed, I'm not a registered

True.

False.  The 040 is on a card, which plugs into the cpu slot.  The motherboard
is the same as before - no '040 on it.  Hence, my logic about no AA.

ram loaded CDTV libraries would be one solution on a machine with
more than a meg of ram and a hard disk.  But we were talking
about the A570, meant to hook up to the A500 and convert it to
a CDTV.

Requiring a scsi controller, extra ram, and a hard disk would 
add to the cost of the unit.

As a solution to CDTV for an A2000/A3000 ?  Why ?  A Zorro II card
with a cable to the external CDROM drive would be a lot easier.

(and you wouldn't have to find or design a SCSI CDROM drive that handles
 subcode data)

And, yes, of course I agree such a card should have been done a year
ago.

Sam Tramiel specifically denied that there would be a trade-in/upgrade program.
He said it was against long-standing policy.  Frankly, I don't understand.
Atari could trade a new machine at even a little above dealer cost for a 
returned Atari computer; make money on it and get good will that no amount of
money could buy directly.  This is essentially what Apple used to do with Mac
upgrades.  They could recycle the cases and cut the boards in half and job
the halves out to surplus stores, if there's any question what to do with
bunches of obsolete computers.

Multiple GUI screens IS something I saw with OS/2.  Not ones you could drag
down, though.  I had my desktop in 640x480 mode and when I ran bore-land
C++ for windows, it launched it on its own screen.  There were a few icons
at the bottom of the bore-land screen.  One of those icons switched back
and forth to the desktop screen.  The windows mode screen was 800x600, btw.
DIFFERENT resolution screens.

And for what it's worth, I started bore-land compiling and hit that desktop
icon and boreland continued to compile in the background as ANY good multitasking
system would do.

I guess you have to live through history to remember it :-)

According to my notes (and IEEE Spectrum, March, 1983) the Stella chip
used in the Atari VCS was done by Steve Mayer and Ron Milner, while 
at Cyan Engineering (a captive R&D company for Atari) in 1975/1976.

Milner build the first functional prototype.  Joe Decuir build 
the gate level prototype.  Jay became involved in the design
of the production Stella chip...he and Decuir designed it.

>>But CBM would still be making CPM clones and C64's. Ughh!

Actually, I think that instead C= would have gotten into IBM PC clones 
in a real big way;  it fits in well with the kind of things that C= knew 
how to do at that time.

It won't really matter in the US as Atari is in even worse shape than
Commodore.  In any case, the Falcon has the ST, STe, and 56001 sound
chips and can generate the same video modes, so compatibility will 
probably be pretty good.  I mean it's not like they've got to worry 
about a real operating system or anything like that.  :-)

Yeah, I guess flaming Jeff Young is child abuse and might get us into
trouble.  Old Slu has hit the quarter century mark and is an admitted
masochist, so maybe I'll let him out of his cage and let him get his
butt roasted a bit.  He's been under heavy sedation since that episode
earlier this year and doesn't even know about the Commodore reps that 
have been down here looking for him.  We've even gotten a few of the 
Stunbrellas from Florida so we don't have to use the baseball bat to
put him back in the cage.  That should make all the bleeding-heart 
liberals around here happy.  :-)

Imagine putting the mightiest armed force in the world under the 
command of a draft-dodger.
