Classic Atari images 2

Highlights from the good old days

Germany became Atari's flagship in the European, and arguably world computer market, exemplified by long term strategy in the form of high-value application-oriented retail packages like the 1040STE music system (complete with SM124 monitor, Kawai MS710 MIDI keyboard and Steinberg "Happy Musik" software), to the 20 million DM investment into a swish new local headquarters building.

The prolific Atari R&D department was way ahead of its time. If only the average consumer had a use for a Boeing passenger aircraft parts inventory, or one of two other discs made for the CDAR504 optical storage unit!

Well done readers who spotted the thumbnail of the Atari ABC last month didn't match the full-size picture. They were the ABC 386/40 (SX) and 40MHz ABC 386 DX II respectively.
