At the CAD-CAM show here in Toronto, ATARI was demonstrating a CAD
package on a 1024x1024 ish (1024x960?) monitor that was running GEM. The monitor
was connected to a separate video board in the Mega. Supposedly it could
also run in colour & was from Germany. A second board from France is also
supposed to exist although the German board was said to be more compatable.
No price, no delivery and no name. Has anyone else heard about these boards?
Prices? Availability?

There were also 2 Abaq (Abaci?) running a demo at the show. Very pretty
but very much prototype machines.
