In regards to the Mega and TT questions, Atari (in the persons of
Alex Leavens and Neil Harris) is now on GEnie. To kick this off,
they held a conference with the ST Roundtable. Some news garnered
from there:

	- the release date of the Megas is indeed Summer 87
	- the Blit update may be in April (I think)
	- the Emulator release is in Summer also
	- the TT is slated for early 88 release (some confusion as
	  to it's architecture)
	- the modem is going thru FCC tests and should be shipping
	  soon
	- the Amy chip is _still_ being developed

These are what I remember from the meeting (extremely confusing)
with Alex Leavens and Sam Tramiel. Any corrections from Atari (Neil,
Alex, Landon, Allan?) would be appreciated.
  BTW, thanks for trying to provide more access guys! Though some
docs would be greatly appreciated also!
