The Atari ST was a great platform when you compare it to the likes of a Mac Plus and older, maybe through the Mac IIs (as it was capable of quite nice color and sound). Unfortunately, it just got left behind. I'm a big fan of the Atari 8-bits and only just got my first ST (a Mega-ST4) at a thrift shop lately. Even as an Atari zealot of sorts, it's hard to compare the ST to the Amiga because of what people did with the Amiga. I know far more people using Amigas as their everyday computers with PCI, Voodoo3s, etc than I do STers. <blatant on-topic diversion> I might even try finding a Magic Sac or similar cart for it to see what it'll do with MacOS </botd> Scott Holder -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
