Back in 1985 we bought 3 520ST's and the developer's kit.  At first, we
received some info from Atari about the dev.kit, the last of which (I think)
was the eprom set.  Since then, approx 2-3 years, there has been nothing
at all.  Does the dev.kit require re-registration annually ??  Has there
been any further info distributed in the last 2-3 years ??  The last I
heard was that the bug-ridden C compiler was not to be replaced and the
appallingly badly photo-copied documentation was all there was...  Oh, and
there was a compiler bug-list with workarounds...

Does anyone from Atari(UK) read this news-group ??
