Computer Systems News for this week indicates that Atari, Commodore,
ACT, and Apricot (ACT USA) have all signed up for GEM.  Moreover,
GEM and Concurrent DOS are being readied, the article continues, for
licensing by anybody for about anything.  [Shades of Unix?]
	The story then says Atari's business machine will be based upon
the 68020.  This is the first public reference I have seen on this,
and it is stated quite positively.  Considering the previous press items
suggesting it would be Series 32000 based, it looks like the rumor mills
are about balanced between the two, now.
