Looks like somebody hasn't been following the recent discussion here. Just for the record: There are two different machines. One is (apparently) a 68030-based machine running System V UNIX. The other is (apparently) what they were at one time calling the ABAQ, which they are now (apparently) calling the ATW, for Atari transputer workstation. Interesting note: The 68030-based machine is purportedly priced at about $2000, while the transputer-based machine is priced near $9000. Do they want to kill all interest in the transputer machine, or what? It was at one time being hyped as a sort of semi-low cost high performance add-on for STs! Surely they could have made the ATW more competitively priced... Just a thought. -jgb (jbone@emx.utexas.edu) ---------- "Everyone's head is a cheap movie show."
