- It looks like the system you are looking for is the Atari TT030.
-
- This has :-
-
- 68030 at 32MHz
- Four serial ports (two run from motorola chips and two from
- Zilog chips)
- VME bus
- 2meg RAM (base machine)
- Both ASCI (simple SCSI-like DMA bus) and full SCSI buses
-
- In the UK, the minimal setup (without a monitor) will set you back less than
- 1000 pounds.
-
- If you want to get in touch with Atari US, I think the address is:-
-
- Atari (US) Corp.
- Sunnyvale
- California

- Steve
