Summary: ces announcements info

What I've understood from the messages on Compuserve's Atari Developers
SIG is that the blitter chip is standard on the MEGA ST series, and that
the internal card slot will be used for another purpose.  Other people
(non-Atari employees) have said that they have heard that it will be
used for a math coprocessor.

The announced delivery date for the laser printer is "late spring".

The $495 pc clone and the pc emulator for the ST are two completely
separate products.  According to my sources the reason that the pc
emulator hasn't appeared yet is that there's been problems getting
it through FCC certification.
