Does anyone have any more information on this? In particular, it mentions the CPU as being an 68000P8, what does the P8 mean? Also, it says there is a screen controller chip or something like that, which is suppose to off load the 68000. Any more info on that chip. Finally, there is a DMA chip, but someone stated in this newsgroup earlier that the floppy used a serial interface, is this correct info? The biggest shame about the ST is that it didn't get written up in very good detail even in a magazine devoted to atari computers...
