Here are my 1986 predictions for the ...ST....

Atari will also be in the OEM business (low cost UNIX based CAD-CAM
systems), probably in partnership with a large company.

Surely you jest...no current version of Unix could run on an ST (or Amiga)
because it lacks memory-mapping hardware.  In 1Q84 (or early 2Q), according
to info from the CompuServe OS-9 SIG, I'll be able to do what I've wanted to
do for some time, namely buy a 520ST or Amiga, flush the DOS that comes with
it down the toilet, and run OS-9 instead.
