Should be rathing Will this be real live UNIX, or is this Whitesmith's IDRIS? I'm probably prejudiced, but I've had some very bad experiences with IDRIS and 68000 (version 2, maybe Whitesmith has improved it) and I for one would *not* purchase this system if it was IDRIS. -- ========================================================================== John Welch ..{codas,ihnp4}!ddsw1!igloo!jjw "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed or numbered.

And before we get anymore questions, anything you read in the press regarding pricing and architecture is either preliminary or guesswork. I personally don't like "vapor*", and believe in making one accurate announcement rather lots of "probably"s.

This is going to be an "open" box. OK, will you be able to take it home, plug in a monitor or terminal, and go with it... or is this latest incarnation of the much-rumored "TT" machine, which is supposed to use an Atari ST as the front end? -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!sugar!peter -- Disclaimer: These U aren't mere opinions... these are *values*.

The intent is "all of the above". And then some. But I personally won't post specs etc until we are ready for Beta. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy J.
