- No, not many games do work (at least without doing some tricks)! But
- does it matter. Who buys a TT for playing games? I'd rather buy a LYNX
- for that purpose:-)
-
-
- >2. Does Calamus and other word processing packages work?
-
- Yes, almost all quality non-leasure software is now updated so it works fine
- on the TT! Upgrades is sure to be available if you have older versions!
-
-
- >3. Has Minix been ported over yet?
-
- I'm not sure, most TT CLI freaks seem to like the MiNT/GNU combination
- better than MINIX! There is ported a lot of UNIX tools for MiNT!
- If you want to know more about this, you could contact Erling Henanger
- (erlingh@idt.unit.no).

-
- Atari has ported SYSTEM V Rev.4 to the TT, but I'm not sure if it realy
- is available yet? (This package should also contain X11)
-
-
- >5. Are there any UNIXless X servers available for the TT?
-
- Don't know
-
-
- >6. If you own a TT, what are your impressions of the machine?
-
- Fast & reliable.
-
- >7. Which version of the Atari OS do the TTs run? 2.?? 3.??
- >
-
- The current latest version is 3.06. I've got it for some tim now, and can't
- realy say to have discoverd any serious bugs. Even the RS232 RTS/CTS bug is
- fixed.
