Subject: Atari Unix
Apparently efforts are underway to get this unreleased product working.
I believe it was aimed at the TT030 desktop "workstation" model of the ST
family:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TT030
Atari did licence UNIX? and got a really good deal ? $10 a seat!

? But the original 68000 version couldn't hack it. No MMU.

The product did eventually exist:
http://www.atariunix.com/
But as ever it was too little, too late.
Perhaps also "too expensive"?
