When comparing with IBM, only professional machines are counted, so 
MS-DOS PCs and the bigger Amigas (>= A2000). When comparing
to Atari STs, only Amigas (all models) are counted. And notice, my
quoted relations only refer to *number* of machines; when considering
value you get a slightly different image because of high-price policy
of some contenders...

Don't have figures.
