Oh come on, the Atari at that point was well discontinued- look at the
competition which had been taken over by Steinberg and Emagic. Yes it was a
great shame that Gibson dropped development of OMS- but again that was in 68K
code- again well out of date and now with firewire/mLan- things will now be
looking a lot brighter as Emagic will be able to develop this as an intergral
part of the Apple OS.
