I also asked about the rumored C compiler and got two comments - "around Summer" and "we can't comment on the release date of a third party until the product is released." Rumors are that MicroSoft will do the C compiler - pretty logical as they have Mac experience and a 68000 C compiler for their Xenix. Does anyone have anything more solid on this? More things to wonder about -- What is the status of the DS Sony drive for the Mac? It is now clear that a special version is required and it is also clear that Sony is selling many more drives than they can produce. Is it worth it to go with the external SS Mac drive now (it would be essential for any serious playing around), or to hold out for a DS drive? Steve Crandall mhuxt!evans
