Pilot The release of Pilot 2.0 has been rescheduled for the end of August, 1978. The rdease date for Pilot 2.0 has been slipped to August 30, 1978, with alpha test beginning a month earlier. This date is predicated on the delivery of the first DO to son at the end of April, the delivery of the interim disk controller at the end of April and the availability of this equipment to Mesa group for debugging approximately two weeks after delivery and to the Pilot group approximately one month after delivery. The release dale is in week-for- \veek 51 i p wi th the arrival date for the DO. See "DO Conver:lion Plans", memo by \V. Shultz, April 4J 1978 for more details. Consideration will be" given in nlici-i\1ay to the release of an Alto Pilot 2.0 having suhstantial commonality with Pilot 2.0 on the DO. \Ve arc currently planning /l0! to have a 2.0 release of Alto Pilot. However, severe changes in the availability of DOs would increase the value of an Alto Pilot 2.0.
