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.
