I have a rather interesting question about the 40 folder limit.
1) Atari claims to be working on a fix for it in-house right now.
2) Supra came out with a fix for their hard disks.
3) N. Harris admits publically that Atari has received a copy of
Supra's fix and is currently reviewing it, until then, it is
NOT sanctioned by Atari.
(This was either here or GENIE, I am not sure...)
4) I talked to Mark White, and he told me, that the Supra got
their fix from Atari themselves!
(Mark White is the person in charge of technical support at
Supra...)
Huh?!? Sounds more than a little confusing to me. Mark White
was very amazed that Atari mentioned that they received Supra's
fix and are looking at it.

Thats the story BACKWARD. I understand that ATARI shipped a copy of a fix to Supra for them to test. Not the other way around. I also hear that our engineering folks were a bit surprised to see Supra release the fix already. -- --->Neil Harris, Director of Marketing Communications, Atari Corporation UUCP: ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil BIX: neilharris / CIS: 70007,1135 / Delphi: NEILHARRIS / GENIE: NHARRIS WELL: neil / Atari Corp.
