What's available in the UK and Europe (ATW etc.)

With all this talk about what's been released where I thought some people
might like a list from England.

520STFM, 1040STFM,       No problem - around for years
Mega 2, Mega 4

520STe and 1040STe       Since December 89 (the 520STe replaced 520ST in boxes
                         at one stage)

Stacey                  In theory (since last year) but everyone is out of
                        stock. Same seems to be true of Mega 1. Probably
                        available in Europe.

TT (2MB/40MB)           There are some around, not yet to most developers.
                        I spoke to Atari's biggest distributer at a show last
                        week and he's been told (from high up) that stocks
                        should be around by the end of June (hahaha). To be
                        bundled with new Atari badged monitor (a nice one) for
                        2300 PDS (around same price as 'good' AT clone). I have
                        heard they are in the shops in Germany.

ATW                     Been on sale for a couple of years. Starts at around
(aka Abaq, Afront)      3000 PDS. Extra TRams are around 300 PDS. Not heavily
                        pushed, but selling into it's niche quite nicely.

SLM804 Laser            On sale for several years. Starting to look over priced.

Hard drives             Mega file 30 and 60 (replaced SH205 about two years
                        ago) and Mega file 44 (removable), for two years.

CD-ROM                  Released two years ago, but not pushed at all because
                        there are very few applications. Atari will only sell
                        you one if you ask, but they are in stock. On general
                        sale in other parts of Europe (NB. on sale != selling)

A3 monitor              I forget the model number, but this is around as an
                        add-on for Mega STs, if you've got the money!

I hope someone find the above interesting.
