It's also the development system for the SNK Neo*Geo entertainment 
system. It's real new, and not on the market yet, but used a 68000. 
Amigas are also used for the Atari Lynx. Since Jay Miner has something to 
do with the Amiga, and he knew a lot about the Amiga, he decided tp use 
some of the Amiga's technology, thus making it hard to use an ST for the 
dev system. Reportedly Atari didn't like it much knowing that they had to 
use Amigas for the Lynx. Maybe Jay was doing us a favor! :)
