The ATW is, as far as I know, available in the UK (it's just not being
marketed very well, but that's par for the course).  The hardware side
of Perihelion, which did most of the ATW development, has folded, but
some (maybe most - not sure) of the employees have transferred to Atari
UK where, according to a rep at the Atari Show last week, they are still
developing stuff for the ATW.  The Helios OS is probably still being
looked after by Perihelion software, although they're developing it for
a wide variety of platforms.

The base price for an ATW was quoted at the show as being 6000 pounds -
somewhat more than originally forecast.  For a bit more, you can
probably get lots more transputers.
