.........................................this line reserved for pacmen The March issue of Byte Magazine features a piece on the 1040ST, including an interview with Atari's Vice President of Research and Development, Shiraz Shivji. We have received many questions on the "graphics coprocessor" chip that he mentioned in that article. Here is some further clarification, courtesy of Atari Corp. President Sam Tramiel: The graphics coprocessor that is currently under development is intended for future products in the ST line, _not_ the 1040ST. We expect to release a product containing this chip at a higher price than the current products, and it is expected to be on the market late this year. For owners of current ST computers, we will make this chip available on an upgrade board, to be available as soon as possible. --->Neil @ Atari USENET: ...lll-crg!vevpyr!atari!neil BIX: neilharris CIS: 70007,1135 Atari BBS: 408-745-2642
