Questions, questions, questions... Does anybody (specifically Neil...) know the real ship date of the new 80column adapter for the 65/130XE (XP80???). What will the pricing be? Will it tie in through the joystick or parallel port? Is an E: driver supported, and how would that be loaded? Are there any plans to release a keypad following the XE styling? The 65/130XE with these additions could make a neat LOW cost terminal emulator. But using Gr.8 or scrolling 80 column emulation is not the greatest.... I have a Bit3 board on my 800 collecting dust in the closet, the features of the 130XE outway its disadvantages. Also, are there any news on getting the Atari mouse separately from the ST? Especially with 80 columns there is a lot of life left in 8 Bit machines, most of all I think they are still the most fun! -- Harald Striepe DEC Corporate Software Products Group, Santa Clara, CA decwrl!muscat!striepe, decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-winery!striepe, WINERY::STRIEPE
