Question 1 : Does anyone know for a *fact* (as opposed to rumor) if anyone is working on porting os9 or some unixlike environment to the ST? Question 2 : There has been a *rumor* drifting about (especially among sales people) that Atari is working on module for the ST that will snap into that side expansion slot. The rumor continues that the module contains : 1) a full 32 bit National Semiconductor chip (NS320xx ?) that becomes the main processor (?) and 2) the 68000 thereafter is used for i/o only???? Anyone know if this is 1)possible and 2)if anything remotely close to this is being worked on? Question 3 : Does anyone know where the '50,000+ Atari's sold' number is coming from? ---- Trying to pin down hype versus fact.
