No, our OS is not multi-tasking. There are a couple of multi-
tasking OS's available:
MT-Cshell, from Beckemeyer Development tools
OS-9 from MicroWare

Don't know, sorry.
> 3. Who supplies what hard disks for the ST?
Atari makes the SH204, a 20 meg hard disc.
Supra makes a couple of hard discs for the ST.
> 4. Does X Windows run on the ST?
Don't think so--I haven't heard of anyone porting this
over.
> 5. Does GNU emacs or a micro emacs run on the ST?
There are a couple of good PD MicroEMACS available.
I use MicroEmacs 3.7i, which I find is a good tool.
