The Mega STE (4mb, 40mb hard disk) is in the store right now, right here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Selling for $1900 or so Canadian Funds (plus applicable taxes) This is not just a display model, they are actually selling them. Latest Atari Rumours from my dealer: - due to shakeups in Atari, he thinks that atari may start shipping the mega-ste's in 1 meg, diskless configurations, allowing the dealers to slip in 3rd party ram and disks. - Even wilder rumour that atari might get together with a 3rd party board manufacturer and put a PC (yes, MS-DOS) board _inside_ the mega-ste together with the Mega board, and continue to sell them *AT*THE*SAME*PRICE* Disclaimer: these are _rumours_ - I have heard nothing official -- ----------- Art Mulder, McMaster University art@maccs.DCSS.mcmaster.ca Hamilton, Ont, Canada ...!uunet!utai!utgpu!maccs!art
