     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).

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.
