What I understand, from multiple sources, is that there is a warehouse,
somewhere in Sunnyvale, which contains many cartons full of Customer
Registration cards which Atari customers have sent in...  and that is
the end of the line for the info contained on those cards...
 
Whether this is true or not, you are not alone in never having been contacted
about any upgrades to the computer you bought from Atari Corp.
 
Do you really think Atari has sold enough 530 and 1040 STs to make it worth
their time to notify you about *any* kind of "upgrade" to your computer..?
 
The  *only*  way you'll ever see the "Mega ROMs", or the Blitter Chip, or
memory expansion, or GDOS, or anything else from Atari Corp. is to get rid
of your present computer, and buy an entirely new one from them.
 
In the "world view" from the offices on Borregas Avenue in Sunnyvale,
you just don't count...  sorry...
