If Sun can make a Unix workstation with an Ethernet interface, VME slots, multiple RS-232 ports, a 1K * 1K resolution monochrome monitor, etc. (3/50) and make a profit when selling at 30% off the $5000 retail price ($3500), or make a (rumored) 386 machine with a color monitor for under $8000 retail, why shouldn't Atari be able to do something comparable in a similar price range? -WBE Simple, Atari has YET to produce ANYTHING that works! I am not saying that company X could not do it, but Atari has failed many, many times. Also, Sun has made several computers under their belt. It is quite trivial to port bsd, or SV and as Atari can't even get a supid single user, single taking O.S. to work, how are they going to get UNIX? For that matter that have yet to get the ST to just read a disk drive with out crashing every now and then just for the fun of it. (I am of course refering to the 40 folder limit which has yet to be FIXED).
