Mamakos) Original-subject: KA9Q NOS for the Commodore Amiga availability Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) Contrary to what is published in this month's QST in the Packet Perspectives column, I am NOT a source for the KA9Q NOS for the Amiga. Heck, I'm not an ARRL member and don't even receive QST. Imagine my suprise when I started getting these mysterious phone calls "about the packet article in QST." I am selling off my Amiga system, and no longer have facilities for copying Amiga disks. Can only support one computer toy (now a NeXTstation) at a time... I've already received a number of phone calls from amateurs who read that article, and I'm hoping to save others spending a few dollars in long distance charges to talk to my answering machine. I wish authors would try to check this type of information before publishing it, as I have NEVER offered to to diskette distribution of the code that I ported even when I did have the facilities to do so.. I suspect people will "discover" this incorrect information in the article for years to come. Oh well. As far as I know, the latest work being done on the Amiga version of NOS is being done by John Heaton, G1YYH, who started with my version and added his own changes. I point folks at thumper.bellcore.com in the anonymous FTP directory /pub/ka9q/amiga for the distributions.
