Does anyone have information about the Atari Transputer Workstation that was 
prototyped last year, they showed two models one with 17 the other with 65 
processors. I haven't heard anything about these since then?

Try comp.sys.atari.st for more information.

Here comes what I've heard, mostly rumours.

ATW is being sold in UK in small quantaties,somebody was demoing
software they have written for ATW in some show. So at least somebody
has one.

300 ATWs have been bought by Kodak inc. USA. Now that's what I call
a rumour <grin...

MM.

The specs of the ATW were posted on this net some months ago. I 'll
repeat it very briefly.
Hardware: T800, 20 MHz. 68000 i/o system (modified mega-st-1).
    4 mbyte RAM, 1 mbyte video RAM, 'blossom' video chip,
    4 slots for expansion boards (e.g. farm cards with 4 T800's).
Software: Helios OS, X-Window user interface.

I ported some Unix C programs and some F77 programs on the
ATW. It is fun to play with more than one processor.

In the UK, Netherlands and Germany the ATW is availbale.
