For the sake of correctness I'd like to comment a part of the news item, even if I guess that no one will be interested
Anyway, the multicomputer game on Pet wasn't displayed, and probably wouldn't run. Me and a friend of mine have checked a cable with a basic program, which didn't work. I still don't know if it was the program, the cable or the user port's fault. Anyway, we still had to transfer the game (called Flash Attack and written in assembly) on a tape, and this was going to be a hard job, as we have successfully transfered only basic programs so far. We were thinking to use a C128, also present on the show, for the transfer, but because of tiredness and lack of time we didn't tried it.
That day was already a busy day as there were some interesting presentations to follow, too
BTW the two Pets were linked by the "user port", which is in fact a parallel type port.
I hope we will able to show this game in a future fair here in Italy.
Also, a little news about AOS4 development which maybe hasn't been mentioned yet: Jürgen Schober has said that Intuition has been converted and it's currently running on PPC, but it's still unstable so it hasn't been shown.
