Hmmm, the last such "enhancement" was the infamous blitter (which still
has to arrive anywhere in mass quantities). As I've stated numerous times
before,  I don't doubt the qualities of Atari engineering, but Atari still
has to show us that they can get an actual product up and going. And as 
always there is the question of software support, will Atari mangement
make an official statement about a bug fixed GEMDOS version as an example?
