  Hmmm.  I haven't really gotten used to the fact yet that I'm sometimes
talking to people in other countries... (Actually, I've been accused of
residing on another planet altogether, but that's a different story... <grin>).

  I'm kind of surprised that Atari Switzerland says that there isn't
a DEVPAK--again, I think the thing to do would be contact Cindy Clavern
at Atari US about the developer's kit, and explain the problem to her.
She's very helpful.
