I assume this is what I just saw at a local store that sells Atari.  I
was in there talking to them about desktop publishing systems for a
proposal I am working on and saw a great monocrome display (19") with
wonderful resolution.  I asked about it and Becky (one of the owners)
told me it was real new but she used it for DTP work.  It was $1800
for the monitor, card for the computer and a TOS upgrade installed.

If you don't find info elsewhere, I am sure she would be willing
to tell you the facts behind these rumors.  The store is Cave Creek
Computers and the number is 206-783-0933.
