The glossy doesn't say it, but you can install up to 64 Transputers. The ATW definitely does exist and has sold enough to be considered a genuine product rather than a prototype. Edinburgh University Graphics Workshop has had one on loan for a while, as well as keeping a prototype model permanently available for users - the only difference seems to be in the packaging. The version that you can buy has a deskside plinth, a keyboard and a monitor.
