  I dont wish to defend Atari but I think a lot of vague ghostly
rumours are being drawn to create a lot of thin air. Just because
this machine has been rumoured and because Atari has a big stand
at Comdex does no automatically produce a Link (would that I was wrong!)

  I think Atari have every write to come down on people who relase data
clearly marked for internal circulation ... ideas floating round
a lab dont become products all the time. It is clear that Atari
must continue to go up market with a 68030 product to cover the
market between the Megas and the Abaq (I prefer the old name) and
that the old Tos 1.3 wont be good enough to match the things the
030 is capable off. This development will take time and what
is there that forces to release a hasty product now. Surely theu
should wait for the state of the market to clarify itself
 I would expect a product in 6 months time and I hope that
all the rumour mongering doesnt taint the public into
expecting and demanding things that dont exist.


 Freedom in information is all and good in a perfect world but
I think a bit of respect for other peoples rights to retain
privacy of information is also called for
