    On the point of Atari designing there own Video chips for the ST, I
don't think so.  The specs given for the ST machine look exactly like
those for Motorola's new RMS/X color video controller chip set.  A nice
chip set that has everything one could want for a personal computer.  The
only question of mine is availability.  The chip set isn't going to
be available in production numbers for a few months still at least I
think.  The same for the floppy/harddisk interface that is supposed to
come standard.  Motorola has a new VLSI chip set designed to handle that
too.  All these chips were designed with the 68000 in mind.  Now if
someone like Atari would only use them for something...
