The PS3000 was released.  I've seen a couple of them.  They're pretty 
neat.  It's a color monitor (good JVC model) with a single-sided 
drive built-in on the lower right hand corner.

- Not only that but the first STE that ST World (UK) reviewed was 
- badged as a 4160STE though I never saw that for sale. Nor a 2080STE
- for that matter.
 
I saw the 4160STE at San Jose WOA.  As I understand it, Bob Brodie 
wanted it named that way so he could distinguish it from the other 
1040STe's when he travelled.  What's weird, if you look on the side 
of the boxes that Atari ships the STe's to their dealers, you will see
that there's designations for 520STe, 1040STe, 2080STe, and 4160STe.
