Is it true that Atari is shipping new 1040ST computers with built in RF modulator? This may be old news to most of you, but the DIGEST which is slowly catching up to date is still a few days behind. I would appreciate receiving direct replies, since I'm very anxious about this. (I have one on order). Marcelino Bitnet: MBERNAR@ERENJ

Yup! The 1040 STfm is now the official name for the newer models. They even have new drive mechanisms in them now. I believe the new mechanisms are NEC brand and comes with a dust hatch built-in. We've had these computers in Vancouver, BC Canada for about the last two months now. Also the mother boards has changed quite a bit too with room for a blitter chip if you so choose. Chun Lee Wong
