    Ah, I was wondering what it was that eventually took things down.  I think
I recall when the Falcon came out; wasn't it around when the 386sx was taking
off?  That's a damn shame, though.  I was a really devout fan of Atari.  Still
am, I guess, to be looking into this hardware & software in this day
& age.  :)
    I'm going to be taking a look into your resources.  Thank you muchly.
