| hi,
See topic 275 et al.
There is no decnet support.
There is no Ethernet support
You can Kermit or X/Y modem, files across, but the only thing thats
compatible is ASCI files.
There is no relationship between TOS and VMS, although Tos programs
and resources can be filed on a VMS disk.
Sorry !!

| hi ,
Re 291.2, I am willing to stand corrected on the Ethernet Connection
I saw the Usenet articles, I must have wrongly remembered, I thought
the device was in design stage, not in hardware! If you or anyone
has any further info please post it, I would like to be able to
net my ST to our LAN and fast file transfer to it!!!!!! Our network
security watchdogs would go ape !!
P.s. who is going to write DECNET-TOS?
Cheers
Pat K.

Yes we just received the first 8 prototype boards of our TAXI controller
board. TAXI stands for The Atari eXtended Interface. The TAXI board
will plug into the Mega's expansion slot, or be driven through the
Atari ACSI interface. Some of the features are:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Full Ethernet interface (thin is builtin, thick requires a transceiver
box)
1 Full (true) SCSI interface independent of the Atari ACSI interface.
8 Full duplex serial lines (RS232-C compatible)
2 Centronics/parallel printer interface
1 MC68000 processor (when used as standalone configuration).
128K dual ported DRAM + 64/128K EPROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This board can be incrementally configured as an Ethernet controller,
2-8 channels serial cross point switch; with or without parallel or
SCSI interface.
If you have any further questions you may contact
