Are you sure ? really sure ?

If this is true, Atari Germany will have tons of problems. They sold those
machines as 32Mhz *CLOCK SPEED*. Now all developers are pissed. 
What is the use of a development machine if it runs only at 1/2 of the
speed of the regular ones ? You cannot do performance tests, timing adjustments
etc.
