It's a sticky issue, but the fact is that the list of dealers who are
authorized to sell the Mega ST is not yet settled.

The systems are not yet available for sale -- we have about 30 Mega ST 4
computers here in the USA, being used strictly for evaluation by our
engineers, making sure there are no last-minute assembly line problems.

Note: these machines come with real manuals and everything, including the
blitter chips.

Real machines in the kind of quantity needed for resale should arrive
shortly.

Another note: the new ROMs do, in fact, work in the current ST's.  No word
yet on availability of these ROMs for end-users, but developers can obtain
them from the Atari developer support department.
