Here are some more:

1. Atari makes a laser printer.
2. .. an IBM PC clone
3. .. something called a MEGA 2 and a MEGA 4.
4. .. a blitter chip.
5. .. a set of new ROMS called "blitter ROMS" for the ST.

Will the wise guy that started those rumors please cut it out!?

Oh, OK, we're trading those rumors in for rumours about the Abaq.  Does
Abaq mean "wolf"?
