Historical note :

After the Amiga designer left Atari he ( and his buddies ) started 
thinking up a "dream computer".  They needed money to build it so
they founded a company, Amiga, and started producing joysticks
for Apple ][s, Atari's, and Commodores.  The Amiga joysticks were
very well engineered and made quite a bit of money.  Money that
was used to build the dream computer, the Lorraine.

I can't remember the name of the designer offhand, but the Atari 800
was his design ( probably the 400 as well ).
