Personal computer, 1992, Atari. The Falcon030 was the last Atari computer. Housed in the 1040-style case, it combines a 68030 processor with a Motorola 56001 digital signal processor, 16-bit stereo audio in and out at up to 50 kHz, a VIDEL video chip with true-colour modes and an IDE interface, plus SCSI II. The DSP made it a favourite of musicians and of the demo scene, but Atari stopped production after little more than a year to concentrate on the Jaguar.
