Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of us stranded UK users, Ken. 
I'm going to wait until after Christmas and then start asking Atari UK
about this again.  Hopefully, by then dealers will have the TOS 1.4
ROMs and I won't have to start hassling.

Incidentally, the Stacy was given a big front-page review in the
December issue of the UK's leading micro mag, Personal Computer World,
so I expect to see real live Stacys very soon now.  After all, the
same mag put the Atari CD-ROM player on its front page in December
1987 issue, so I expect the mag will have taken steps to ensure
they're not fooled again into reviewing prominently something that
wasn't released.  (Surely??  Yes??)
