- Why is there no MFM host adapter? One can buy 8-bit MFM hard (& floppy)
- controllers for the IBM PC for next to nothing now, and it would be great
- if we could use those instead of a flaky Myarc HFDC. And, as far as I understand,
- it is much easier to implelement than the SCSI.
- I know the TRS-80 has such a host adapter.

- Would somebody tell us the difference (from the end-user point of view) between
- the 4A Memex and the Asgard AMS/AEMS? Would it be possible to design
- software that would run concurrently on both? Otherwise it's going to be
- a mess... I suppose we all understand that the last thing we need now is a
- further division of the shrinking user base into further segments that
- cannot exchange data and files with each other, so it would be best if Asgard,
- WHT and OPA could coordinate their efforts in such a direction. What is the
- current situation?
-
- Last but not least, I am amazed (and glad) that all this effort is still going
- on. I would have kept my TI-99/4A anyway, and it is really nice that you,
- and others like you, are willing to put time and effort to further develop it.
- Same goes to the Asgard team.
