Hello! Remember the keyword in my presentation was "possibly". And shortly after sending it, I realized it was for the other one, RTS-8 not OS/8. (That was based on the discussions on that list you and someone else run remember.) However the big problem for me here was and still is, that of hardware.
I wonder if it was ever tested properly and even made to work with everything else...... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

It's not for OS/8 but for RTS-8. But yes, it is phase II. I > have never tried it, though.
