Roman,

Check out the new issue of Atari Explorer (January/February 1991).  It has 
about 16 pages on the Lynx (half of which is on the internals and development
information).  I also just read, from Z*Net, that about another 16 cartridges
are expected in either the first or second quarter this year, in addition to 
the 16 already available.  It actually looks encouraging (no wait, I didn't 
just say that, did I?).
