The ATW800/2 transputercard for the Atari Mega ST. Its history, installing, testing video and TOS.

Towards the end of the eighties, Atari likely realized they were losing the battle for the personal computer market. So they started looking for new markets. This led to the creation of the ATW 800 Transputer Workstation. A rebuild has now been developed, in the form of an expansion card for the Mega or VME bus. In this part 1 video, we'll examine this card and test its Blossom like graphics system and TOS roms. We'll also look back at the history of the original ATW 800.
