Atari hasn't forgotten about graphics chips. They've got a socket on the new
1040 motherboards going into production this summer which accepts their planned
blitter chip. I dont kow hen it will be done, tho. I will be going out to
dinner tonight with an ex-Atari chip designer (the guy who did the AMY sound
chip) and I'll pump him about what they had a year or two ago. He did say there
were several other graphics chips Atari was working on. According to something
he dropped into conversation once, the chips they had then even blew the pants
off the Amiga graphics chips.
