I hope that Atari listens to the suggestions posted by this 
conference.  I feel that Atari should continue to keep competition
off balance by coming out with a 68020 based micro instead of 
the DMA box they plan on marketing.  I think that the DMA port
should be reserved for the harddisk.  A 68020 machine, with
the power of a S*n workstation, could be produced for under
$3000, estimating conservatively.  I also think that Atari
should come out very soon with an inexpensive upgrade to add R/W
and the additional address lines to the ROM port to maximize
the potential of the STs.  Though I do not own an ST, I am very
interested in these "new" 68000 machines.  (aside: 68000s at 
8Mhz now sell for under $10.00) 

Any info on laserprinters, CDs and the graphics upgrade for the STs
would be very welcome.
