I recall Atari saying early on that they did not wish to compete with
third-party developers who release products similar to Atari's plans
(e.g. the 8-bit P:R: Connection/Atari 850 Interface), in order to
encourage such work.  In reference to the above, there is the Paradox
MS.EM (MS-DOS emulator, which is claimed to emulate a 640K machine on
a 1meg ST at 100% the speed of an 8088).  Since this software-only
product is to sell for $69(!), I don't see how Atari could compete
with any hardware expansion.  Of course, I personally don't know if
the Paradox emulator works as claimed or even exists at this time....
