                           Atari 'Clone' Computers


Atari 'clone' computers first became available in early 1994. These
computers, while mostly software compatible with Atari-produced computers,
contain hardware enhancements and modifications that may cause
incompatibilities in software that relies on hardware access rather than
the recommended method of using standardized OS calls.

The recent availability of these computers as well as enhanced graphics
and peripheral boards emphasizes the value of programming using the OS
whenever possible to allow software to be run on the widest variety of
machine configurations.

For example:
  Hades040 and Hades060
  Milan040 (aka Milan I)
