From: Christopher A Kent <cak@PURDUE.ARPA> A rumour of sorts; the Symbolics sales rep has told us that there is soon to be available (I believe Jan 84) a new version of the control board and firmware that will fix many of the software flaws. It should have an error detecting protocol and some sort of error reporting for the async line. There are also supposed be new fonts; the one I heard mentioned was a 10 point roman with reasonable spacing. The cost: $2700. Sites with maintenance or warranty receive it at no cost. Cheers, chris ----------
