- From what I have read, Atari droped there Unix port, from what I read it was
- far to slow on a TT, so how can it be of use on a Falcon...
-
- Get a Acorn A5000, they even make Work Stations , R150/R160 from memory,
- 32 bit risc machines, they even have a lap top/palm top out now, was in the
- Byte mag some time back..
-
- And they have Unix for there machines..
-
- Acorn is now pushing big into New Zealand, about 80% of schools here use
- one or more of the Acorn Archemides machines, one Uni has them as a standard..
-
- And they use separate keyboards, and NOTE: 2 megs bytes of ROM, with the full
- OS and Utils built in......
-
-
- Worth a look at...
