' As I am writing to you anyway, I can give a quick status report on the
' Atari-port just as well.....
'
' - A lot of work is being done to create a bootloader for NetBSD/Atari.
' It allows most people to (re)boot NetBSD without starting GEM. I think
' that the bootloader stuff is nearly in the beta-stage. Waldi (who has
' done most of the job) and I are currently running the alpha-version.
' I said 'most people' on purpose :-( As we don't have enough docs on
' the FX-card and are not able to get it, it seems that the loader is
' not going to work for it. So if you have tech-info about it or when
' you are able to get it, drop Waldi or me a mail.
I know the developer of the FX-card. He's a student of computer-science
at the university and the department I work. These are his dates:
Name: Georg Acher
email: acher@informatik.tu-muenchen.de
phone ++49 89 681104 (hotline between 6 and 10 o'clock pm).
Thomas was in contact with him because of the the Falcon video stuff
(resolution extension BlowUp, also developed and purchased by Acher & co.).
