Mayby these were allready mentioned, we lost some news.

New products from Atari:

- large monitor SM194 (really Viking) 1280 * 960, 70 Hz, graphics card,
  TOS upgrade to support large screen, availabe in June, price in Germany
  c. 3800.- DEM. They had several of them working there; the quality of
  the picture was really good. (This + laser + Calamus = really impressive)

- Megafile 44, cartridge hard disk unit, 44MB, 30ms seek, bootable,
  available in April, price in Germany c. 2500.- DEM, cartridge c. 300.-.
  Seemed to work fine. Cartridges are about the size of a 5" floppy in
  hard cover.

- CD-roms available right now (High Sierra 86 and ISO 9660 standart)

- TT was not publicly precented (was there though); will be officially
  out in Dusseldorf ATARI show 25-27. August, the clock will be 16MHz,
  low end version about 6000.- DEM, unix version about 10000.- DEM
  (depends the ram price development).

- ATW is available now, starting price about 15000.- DEM (with one
  transputer); One university had developped some simulation programms
  in it (something to do with jet turbines I understood), they liked
  it, speed (one transputer) they saed was about twice the MicroVax II.
  They had X-windows working. The operating system seems to
  work aright, Csh seemed pretty compatible.
