Ed, I can buy a 386 DX 25 MHz clone with an 85 meg HD, 8 expansion slots,
a 3.5" 1.4 meg drive, a 5.25" 1.2 meg drive, and a SVGA monitor for
$799.

Oh, and it would include 2 Megs.

Along with Windows and the choice of THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of
software titles.

There are also MANY developers working on new software for it, not
just a handful.  Anyone will fix it if it breaks.  And there
is no need for me to beg the company for support.,

No, Atari's needs an edge besides the DSP.
