Well, we got our stock 520 ST today... Very nice, but the BASIC won't be out
for a while yet, and the GEM won't be available on ROM until the bugs are out.
In reply to the RS232 question someone posted, it looks like a standard
RS232...(isn't that what a standard is?), but I guess you wanted a list of
the active pins...I'll post when I get the chance later.
Latest word on the GEM in ROM is that it will be a $50 upgrade for early
models, but will be included in later ones (around Oct.)
Haba Software has a C compiler in Beta-test, and a 10Meg hard drive that
is FAST (about 7 times the speed of the already fast micro-floppy).
The color version is excellent, and a special cable is used for the
monitor connection so the 520 knows which monitor is hooked up. This
info is used to control the display! Output destined for the hi-res
monochrome monitor can't be viewed on the color monitor and vice-versa.
