Yes, the PS3000 was a limited-production thing. It was, as you describe, a
single-sided drive built in to an RGB color monitor. A few were made, they
were not particularly successful, and production was stopped. If you
really want one, you may be able to find a dealer who still has one, but it
has been quite a while since Atari has shipped any.
Hope that's helpful.
