Missing Atari Computer:
Atari ATW Transputer -- They only made like 5,000 of these and I WANT ONE!!!!
Now that I have my Lisa, this is my next Holy Grail. It was Atari's
stab at the unix workstation market. It was a multiprocessor setup
that had a 68000 as some sort of main brain and then you plugged in
modules that had Transputer T800 processors on them, max 12. It ran
some nifty OS called Helios and had semi-ok graphics capabilities.
There's a decent page about it SOMEWHERE in Germany I think, but I
can't seem to find it right now. It came out somewhere around 1988-ish.

Did you mention the Atari Portfolio? I can't remember. It was Atari's
little palmtop organizer thingy... There were a few ST portables too,
where there? And don't forget the clones that are still being made...
