I love the machine and highly reccommend it. I plan to put in a nice 105 Mb SCSI Quantum hard disk later on. The new OS is nice, and so is the new control panel. The machine is fast in 16 Mhz with cache mode, very fast. Compatibility in 8 Mhz mode is excellent. HRAMDISK and some demos are the only programs that have not run on it so far. TCB Cuddly Demo was one of them (very much a surprise to me). In 16 Mhz mode with cache, most games don't run. Many productivity programs run, but I have not used all my programs yet. Atari is providing 1.44 Mb upgrades soon which should be nice. S.S.
