- No, Atari went bankrupt.
- Atari merged with JTS, some (hard?)disk drive manufacturer.
- Jack is in the board of directors, or something like that.
- The rights for the Falcon have been sold to C-lab, whom created the
- MARK-II Falcon, optimised for hard-disk recording.
- The Jaguar market is dieing. They didn't sell enough.

- There have been several postings on the merge of Atari and JTS.
-
- Jack did the same to Atari as he did to Commodore:
-
- !!! He filled his pockets, and left the company !!!.
-
- When the merge with JTS took place, Atari had a loss of about 25
- million US$. But the Tramiel family had some 50 million US$ on
- privat accounts (at least that is what I understood from the
- postings in the atari newsgroups).
