Here is an article quoted from the german newspaper "DIE WELT"
from 09.11.1988, translated to my version of 'german' English:

   "The rising of the video game and homecomputer manufacturer
   Atari into the area of scientific workstations is late.
   According to Atari's head Jack Tramiel the company is
   working on a workstation on the basis of the Inmos
   Transputer T-800, a chip for - especially fast - parallel
   processing. For the planned operating system Helios which is
   developed by the british firm Perihelion Software Ltd. was
   not ready in time, the release of the Atari computer is
   delayed until 1989. Bad luck Atari also had in finding a
   name for the high-performance-computer: The name 'Abaq' is
   already reserved by a belgian company."
