In an interview with a german magazine Shiraz Shivij said
that Atari has finished the development of a board with the
68881 on it. Does somebody (Neil) know when this board will
be available, and which languages are going to support it.
On the hannover fair i asked somebody of Prospero, an english
company which has a good fortran compiler for the Atari. They
didn't even know, that Atari has developed that board.
In german Atari advertisements the board is allready cited.

In the same interview Shiraz Shivij said that they have a
LAN-board for lokal area networking in a Vax environement.
Does somebody know wether TCP/IP, Decnet or something else
is used.
It would also be nice to be able to combine the to boards in
one machine. Are there any more boards planned?
