    Did Atari ever start shipping their CD-ROM reader for the ST?

244.1It DOES exist, I think!RDGENG::KEANEMon Sep 26 1988 12:1216
    
    NO. They dont appear to have shipped it yet. About three months
    ago Atari (UK) held a launch jamboree in a London hotel for the
    ABAQ, the CD rom and some more PC clones. At the Big show in LOndon
    last week, there were some ABAQS on the ATARI stand but no CD ROM,
    I asked the Atari salesperson where it was, he replied that they
    "Still had some minor teething problems."                      
                                            
    There have been a couple of big reviews of the thing in the UK Atari
    magazines, so the hardware does exist. One reviewer was quite impressed
    with its CD rom capability, but was not so impressed with the Audio
    performance.
    
    Cheers
