#Any IBM/Emplant news?
It used to be that there were tidbits of information released here and there
about the progress of the IBM DX/2 Emplant emulation. Nowadays, you hear/see
nothing as far as the proyect is concerned. It's getting to be that you have to
wonder if there are delays in the product itself, (which we can all understand)
or that maybe Jim Drew and the UU clan are awaiting for an official response
about the C=> bidding situation in order to pursuit the proyect to term. I've
seen an increased number of people just do away with their Emplants in order to
get a true IBM clone (Yikes!!!) as the EMPLANT FOR SALE ads and beginning to
spring up more and more. I'm trying to hold on to mine for dear life, but the
product delays, in conjunction with added pressure from work to do IBM
programming and UU no-news-update policy on the product is getting to be a
little too much. I've been an avid supporter for years, and while I still
believe that Amiga/Emplant combo make for a great multi-OS programming
environment, not having any news on the progress of the product can be
frustrating. I understand that this is done in lieu of the constant phone calls
UU must have been receiving from pesky Amiga users, and promising a delivery
deadline can work against them, given the level of Amiga "fan"(atics), myself
included. Could someone (beta tester hint, hint) at least give us some feel as
to speed, compatibility, hardware supports, etc… At this point, I'd be
willing to do away with Windows support so long as the product behaves in a
straight forward DOS environment, ie.. LPT1, COM1, HD support as well as
extended memory support.
In this case, ANY NEWS is GOOD NEWS!!! Catya,
