Yet more on the continuing life of the Atari Transputer in the
British Computer press...

The latest Popular Computer World (a weekly mag) carried another news
item on the Atari Transputer quoting actual figures and even a launch
date. So here it is:

      - T800 Transputer. 15 mips. Single chip systems but can fit
        up to 13 (!) T800's inside the system box.

      - Fast graphics. Screen updates at 13 frames/sec on a 1 million
        pixel screen.

      - 32 bit blitter, drawing at 100 mega-pixels/sec (I think this
        could be a typo !).

      - Screen modes:

                    1280 x 960   4 colours
                    1024 x 768   ?
                    640  x 480   ?
                    512  x 480   ?

      - Pallette of 16,000,000 colours.

Will be produced as an add-on box to the ST, followed by a stand-alone
workstation.

First shipments are scheduled for next June. (No doubt next June they will
be "imminent" !)

I'll post any more info as it becomes available.
