	Hi all,

	The recent discussion on Atari Unix has left me a couple of questions
that I hope someone out there can answer (if they are doing the development)
or who can give a knowledgeable answer (remarks about how ASV will never come
out, Atari will fold before it is available, or other negative/non-productive
comments are NOT welcome).

	The Atari Unix is supposed to be a full port of System VR4, with the
Wish (sp?) windowing interface.  What I am wondering is if it will support
the currently-existing SCSI/ACSI ethernet cards (I would assume that it would
support any VME/Megabus cards as it is on the bus like most other UNIX ethernet
cards)?  If it does support ethernet (or SLIP, etc.), will it support NFS so
that it can mount fileservers, other accounts, etc.?  
	Will it support 3rd party video cards (say one of the plethora of 
1024x768 cards thave hve come out), or are we stuck with using only the Atari
Monochrome (or other brands I would suppose) monitors?

	I realize that ASV doesn't have this support now, or it would already
be out :), but have any developers pledged support for these issues yet?

	Thanks,

	Mike Baffoni
