i had heard that with the advent of the mega-st's that Atari was going
to cut production costs on the ST's.  to do so, they were going to
start putting 520s into 1040 boxes, and stop producing two casings.
that would explain why a 520 now has (f)loppy disk inside of it and
why a 1040 now has a frequency (m)odulator in it.  i haven't seen any
of these new beasts but that is my guess.

how about it Atari?  is this correct?  i don't want start any wild
rumors, so let's just say that this is speculation until we hear
some "official voice" on the matter.  (hallo? hallo? Atari?)
