Quoting directly from Atari's glossy:

T800-20 processor and 68000 processor for i/o tasks
4 Mb RAM expandable to 16 Mb
i/o subsystem 512K RAM, expandable to 4Mb
Video memory of 1 Mb fast dual port dynamic RAM
40Mb SCSI hard disc
Helios operating system - multi tasking with C shell and UNIX compatible
    command set
Supports C, Fortran 77, Modula 2, Lisp, Prolog, BASIC, Occam and Strand
X-Windows user interface
British designed
Price guide #5000*

where "#" means pounds sterling, and "*" is unexplained (it probably means "ask
us for a discount").

The glossy doesn't say it, but you can install up to 64 Transputers.  The ATW
definitely does exist and has sold enough to be considered a genuine product
rather than a prototype.  Edinburgh University Graphics Workshop has had one
on loan for a while, as well as keeping a prototype model permanently available
for users - the only difference seems to be in the packaging.  The version that
you can buy has a deskside plinth, a keyboard and a monitor.
