I for one would like to thank Ken for posting this here. Out here (in
Australia) support for developers is fairly sparse. Naturally BIX and
Compuserve are a tad expensive from this distance. The local branch of
Commodore has a developer support scheme which in the last two years has
managed a massive two mailings of information. Most of that is either
old or scraped off USENET or both.

A friend wrote to CATS and was politely told to talk to Commodore here. Kind
of cute seeing as in another letter Commodore here told him to talk to CATS.
Anyway, it's nice to find some real information from time to time.

On another note, I am in the process of trying to write some SCSI tape
software and saw the mention of the CLtd tape stuff. Is there any documentation
(either official or otherwise) on the interface to the device driver. I 
wouldn't mind trying to be compatible with the rest of the world if at all
possible.

Enno.


PS. To the San Diego '3000' people. I object to being one of the people who
	had to pay to import your b*llsh*t into this country. And note I'm
	also paying for this to get out, hence, this postscript really is
	my $0.02 worth.
