Here's my $0.02 worth:

     I think Atari would be wise to introduce a bottom line 16 MHz
TT equivalent to a 1040ST (except with FPU socket and SIMM RAM
upgrades) and sell it for $1500 (Maybe this is unreasonable, I'm
no hardware designer).  If David Small believes there's a market for
a 16 MHz 68030 ST board, then it seems to me there would be a market
for this TT model.  Many users don't need the bells and whistles
promised with the TT and it's ~$4000 US price tag.  This machine
would be compatable with current software.  It would appeal to
ST owners like myself, who are comfortable with their software and
peripherals, but occasionally have the need for extra power of the
68030 CPU.  The biggest complaint from my Mac owning friends is the
lack of a low cost Mac II.  I hope Atari doesn't follow Apple's lead.--
