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 UCS, USC
