There are rumours abounding of a soon to be released 2080 ST, with 2 Meg of RAM, built-in floppy, a detachable keyboard (yeah!), a port for an expansion bus, possibly a higher resolution monitor, and support through the DMA port for the yet to be announced Atari Laser printer. Price: uncertain; availability: Christmas ? All of this sounds marvelous, but my question is: will the laser printer ONLY work with the 2080, or will it also work with the 520/1040's. It sounds like Atari is planning to use the RAM in the 2080 to drive the laser printer through the DMA, which might leave the 520/1040 owners out in the cold. Can someone at Atari confirm or deny whether the planned Atari laser printer will work with the 520 or 1040 ST?
