o Early reports of the GS/DSP card (see Applecations Nov/Dec 1991 for the press release) mentioned Virtual Memory and Memory Protection. New Concepts, the developers of the card, now indicate that this will be a separate project known as VM/MMU. Apparently the VM/MMU will be effectively no-slot by fitting under any expansion card.
o A new offering has just arrived from the French development group FTA. Noisetracker is their reply to Soundsmith which was developed by FUN, another French group. Noisetracker plays Soundsmith songs and Amiga MOD format sound files. The program looks great and the Amiga files sound brilliant on my GS. Noisetracker is available from the Apple // BBS and will shortly be available on a Public Domain disk.
o Alan Sanders, the sysop of The BeeHive BeeBS, came to our November meeting to remind us all that CP/M is still alive and kicking. CP/M is an operating system available to Apple // users with a Z80 co-processor card. The BeeHive BeeBS has an extensive amount of CP/M software available for downloading.
