If memory serves, one of the demos they had was the mandelbrot drawing program with the 4 transputers each taking a part of the screen and computing it at the same time while a stock ST had the 68K calculate the entire screen by itself. IMHO, Atari had a lot of great products in those days. Unfortunately, most of them were never really marketed or even so, were marketed poorly. Ben
