Demnaechst means "real soon now".

This ranges from weeks to years.


I know of an engeneer, who tried to add Appletalk to the ST. The
prototype board plugs to the Centronics (printer) port and has
Appletalk, Apple Desk Top Bus and Centronics outputs.
Works pretty well with an hacked version of Aladin (the german Stectre
competitor).

The bad news: It's exspensive. 

It does not make sense to pay DM 2000 for a Mac-emulator if you can get
a Mac for DM 4000...

Dennis had stepped up into the top seat whet its founder had died of a
lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a
Ferrari and a bottle of tequila. (Douglas Adams; the long dark teatime...)
