I work for the company that bought the AMY chip and sound lab from
Atari - Sight & Sound Music Software, Inc.

We bought the chip from Atari this summer.  Slightly contrary to what
John Dvorak and that editor of Atari Explorer says, S & S owns the chip,
but Atari reserved the right to buy them from us at foundry prices.

However, that means they can buy the chip at cost, but the deal says
nothing about software drivers and support, so Atari will have to do 
this themselves, or contract someone to do it, if they want to put
it in future computers.

We have an XEM prototype board sitting in a box, gathering dust, up
at the office.
