I was the poster of the fix mentioned; it was a copy of an earlier posting
from Scott Drysdale.  I can't account for this unfortunate fellow's problem
with the patch, but I can reiterate that I and many other A2286 users have
installed it successfully.  Your mileage may vary.

Can you be a little more specific on the Hardware hack that you just mentioned
to speed up access Between PC<->Amiga, is it worth trying to make this fix in
terms of the Pseudo Hard Disk speed which is terribly slow as is?,  Also, do
you know if the new BIOS would be available from Dealers?

Thanks for your help.

No, the NeXT machine uses the Mach kernel developped by the Carnegie Mellon
University.  This kernel can support any kind of operating system frontend
(the NeXT has a BSD frontend, that's what you meant).  For those
interrested, the kernel has been ported on the Amiga (there were some
postings some weeks ago, look at ftp.nic.funet.fi), but there is still no
frontend.  People should be working on the BSD4.4 frontend right now and
maybe some day we will have an AmigaOS frontend, running side by side with
BSD Unix.  So if Mr. Drew hopes to 'emulate' the NeXT, then he should take
a look at Mach.  I think that he would only have to write the Amiga drivers
to have NeXTStep running on the Amiga, no hardware hacks (if so, then I
suspect that it won't be done by Mr. Drew :-)

I have personally been involved in two different AmaxII+ installations. One
was when AmaxII+ first came out, and one was just recently. Both went into
A3000 machines with the HD floppy. Both performed flawlessly in reading and
writing Mac diskettes. I used the HD Mac disks that came with my Quadra to
install System 7 on the Amax partition of the latest one that I helped
with.

It works as advertised, at least with the Commodore HD floppy drive. Beyond
that, I cannot attest to.

Anyone have email addresses for the repective Mac emulator

Hi Jim,

	I realise you have begun to ship EMPLANTs.  I also know that you
have altered the specs a little since you first posted them here (such 
as adding a sound digitizer, etc.)  Would you mind posting the complete
specs (including what software does it come with, which rom can it take, 
etc.)  onto this newsgroup?  Thanks.  

Yours Sincerely,

PS: I know you mentioned this once... but I would like to ask you again:
    does the current shipping EMPLANTs allow users to use their AppleTalk
    port like a RS-232 serial port?  In other words, is there anyway for
    a user to hook his/her Amiga up to an AppleTAlk network without having

Umm, excuse me, but you CAN buy NeXTStep (as of January 1993).  It is called
NeXTStep 486.  If it is *SO* hard to emulate a NeXT, (21"monitor, DSP, etc) then
how did Steve Jobs and Co. manage to recode the OS for a stock 486 box?

As I have said before, if you are going to need NeXT emulation, buy Emplant, getthe 486 emulation (when it is released) and just run NeXTStep 486.

   I was under the understanding that the NeXt used a Berkley version of Unix
as the OS. If this is correct, the best way to "emulate" it would be to either
buy Amiga's System V Unix and try to port NeXtStep, or wait for Matt to do his
port of BSD Unix.
   BUt I would suspect that if you bought System V, you could do most of what a
NeXt does.

I wouldn't doubt the Amiga's ability in emulating a NeXT.  Nonetheless,
a NeXTstation usually comes with lots of software (and it is software
what makes the NeXT "famous").  Now, where can one obtain these 
software?

you can do a couple of things.

 - find an A1020 5.25" 360K drive and plug it into the 2088's external drive
   connector.  you could replace the drive inside the A1020 with a 1.2M 5.25"
   drive.

 - get a long ribbon cable for the internal drive connector and a power cable
   extension and run your existing drive outside the case (being careful not
   to let it short out against anything, etc).

i don't understand what janus 2.1 has to do with your external floppy drive...
unless you're saying that you wouldn't be able to load it since you would have
no floppy drive attached!

Has anyone successfully used a mouse with WordPerfect 5.1 running under 
PCTask?  The only driver that I can get to function at all is the 
"mouse.com" and it only brings up the menu bar at the top of the screen.  
The PC Task mouse driver seems to work fine with other packages.
