i wouldn't bet my terminal too quickly, there WILL be a unix
available from Atari and it will be AT&T V7, but not for the ST. The
above reasons while not vital are critical enough to make it too
difficult to do. The Atari port will be for the TFM machine and your
timeframe is about right, nothing is set in concrete but it will be
a black box with a 68020 (i hope) or a 32032 in it and it will use
the ST as an intelligent front end, windowing terminal etc.
