They are entirely separate entities. Unless something has happened real recently that I'm not aware of, the Atari that does the computers is one and the same with the Atari that does the home video games (2600, 5200, 7800). The Atari which does the coin-op video arcade games, like Marble Madness, IS a separate entity, and is known as Atari Games. This division came about when Tramiel bought Atari - he bought the computer and home video sections, but not the coin-op section, which was subsequently sold to someone else. -- ---------------- Michael J.
