1194.0. "Recent ST news?" by FORTY2::CADWALLADER (Rifle butts to crush you down...) Thu Oct 17 1991 12:34

Hi,

	I actually have had an AMIGA for about 2-3 years now but previously
	owned Amstrad CPC664/6128s and a 520STFM. Obviously I know all about
	the new Amiga sound chips, new OS etc... etc... but I am interested to
	hear of the latest developments in the ST field, because I am severely
	out of touch here nowadays. 

	Has anything really interesting been in the news of late, e.g. new
	machines, new OS etc.? With news of the new Archimedes 5000 and the
	"official" release of version 2.04 of the AMIGA OS, I wonder what ATARI
	has up it's sleeve for the Xmas sales pitch.

	I guess you're the guys to ask! :-)

	Cheers.

Hmmmm...
	I hadn't heard of this, can you give me some more info about it,
	e.g. screen modes/colours available, RAM/expandability, sound
	capabilities, disk capacity etc...
	Is it compatible with all software or does it suffer the usual Atari
	incompatibility problems? When was it available, is it available in the
	UK and how much is it?

	Sounds interesting.... 

	FYI - I have a sneaky feeling CBM will start selling A500+ machines
	before Xmas in UK (1Mb A500 w/ WB2.04, Super Agnus & expansion slot
	for further 1MB chipRAM), but who knows what the likes of CBM/Atari will
	do???.

	Thanks for the reply...
