The March issue of Byte Magazine features a piece on the 1040ST, including
an interview with Atari's Vice President of Research and Development,
Shiraz Shivji.  We have received many questions on the "graphics
coprocessor" chip that he mentioned in that article.  Here is some further
clarification, courtesy of Atari Corp. President Sam Tramiel:

The graphics coprocessor that is currently under development is intended
for future products in the ST line, _not_ the 1040ST.  We expect to release
a product containing this chip at a higher price than the current products,
and it is expected to be on the market late this year.

For owners of current ST computers, we will make this chip available on an
upgrade board, to be available as soon as possible.
