Today I spoke to a man — now an influencial business consultant -who was the right hand man to a very, very famous millionaire industrialist and EVP of his holding company. He is out looking at new micros for his company (and to recommend to clients). His one requirement — MS-DOS 2.1 compat. As all his files in that format. I told him about AMIGA and SIDECAR, etc. He is very interested and if SIDECAR comes out in time, may go with AMIGA. Sidecar would allow him to work in MS-DOS until decent productivity stuff comes out for AMIGA. I also mentioned my idea of a file translation utility and that was very interesting to him. He asked questions about networking capabilities. Does anyone know what plans are afoot to network AMIGAS for business use? With just a little help from CBM and 3rd party developers we might actually launch this as a business machine! Chris

Corvus has developed controller card for OmniNet. Poor choice of networks, but they've done the work. Now if only someone would do the same for Ethernet & X.25.
