At the recent London Atari Show, which was excellent, I had the good fortune to meet Dave from TUS developments who impressed me no end with his STe IDE interface. Later in the bar we chatted again and he told me about a very interesting project for all STs. The project is a system accelerator and CPU replacement. Dave talked about a 68020 CPU at speeds of 24 and 32 MHz. This is impressive enough but Dave also suggested a price of under 100. Could this be the ST's Nemesis? I'm writing to you because Dave was rather coy about it and was unsure if people would be interested. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly encourage the Atari community to tell Dave this is an excellent idea. I think its just what the ST needs. The ST scores well on memory what with the new 12Mb RAM board on its way and it scores well on storage, large hard drive options have been around for a while. But your basic ST is slow. So come on everyone lets encourage Dave on this one. Regards, Jim. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Harris, 9 Argyle Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4QA, England.
