A3 is a standard paper format in Europe. I do not have the exact measurements
in my head, I'm afraid. We begin with a large 'A0' paper, split that
paper in two equally sized smaller (!) papers, gets a 'A1' and so on.
Normal writing paper is A4.

The name is of no importance, I think it was "Viking" or something like
that. Yes, it can only be hooked up on a Mega ST (without hardware
modifications. Atari hasn't included a processor bus on the smaller models
of some stupid reason [like price?]) That isn't really a problem since
they cost around 20,000 SEK (1 USD = cirka 6 SEK). If you really want
to work proffessionally with DTP you'll buy a Mega ST and Calamus. That's
a lot cheaper than a Mac or [phhf...] PC anyway.
