[net.micro.atari] ST nooz

for official rumors about the ST, ANTIC mag has reports from Comdex on
Compuserve.  If someone wants to D/L it , that would be nice, but its
already floating around various BBSs.  It doesn't really say anything
we didn't know already except for a little bad news; that GEM may not
come in ROM after all.  This would be real bad, becuase of the supposed
cap of 512K on memory, and GEM is a real memory hog, having been compiled.
Stay tuned.

What the hell will Atari do with spare ROM-place?. They have 6
places for roms (256kbit?) as we can see here on photos of the 520 ST
in some computer magazines. Will Atari put BASIC or some other silly
thing in it? I don't hope so. And for GEM experts: Isn't it possible
to put the VDI of GEM into ROM?
