Thomas Wolf asks: >I sure hope that Atari will bring out this Transputer. Descriptions of it >have been floating around Usenet (and bbs') for about a year now. The >previous message mentioned it being released in Britain. Will it be availabl >in the US any time soon? The "Atari WorkStation" (the new name, since ABAQ is already in use) is expected to be available for shipping in England by the end of this year. The "Under $5000" workstation will now cost $8500 (U.S.) with one transputer, with optional cards of four more transputers available. The operating system on the "AWS" will be Helios... Neil Harris explained that the transputer based workstation will be sold exclusively in England first because they designed the transputer chip, and are most familiar with it. (I guess he means that the 68000 chip in the ST was designed in Germany, and that they're most familiar with it, too..) BobR
