At the Hannover Messe (starting March 4 1987) Atari will introduce some
new machines. First of all, my sources tell me there's gonna be an

 - Atari AT clone -

 Europe chose the AT computer instead of the XT released at the CES. They
 feel the quantity of XT's in Europese is to great to justify the release
 of the Atari XT clone. The machine will probably have the same multi-video
 controller as the Atari XT, but further details are unknown.

 Then there's the

  - Enhanced (Extended?) ST

  A machine that's _probably_ based on the 68020 (I'm pretty sure,
  in fact), has a screen resolution of 1024 x 940 (Or 740, not sure),
  and should have a ported version of Unix.

  They will also show the machines that were 'revealed' at the CES.
  I'll be going to Hannover, so I may report from there.
