A fact from Atari AMY appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 April 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Atari showed off its AMY additive synthesis sound chip in a special version of the 65XE computer, but never released it and focused on the Atari ST instead?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/April.

ATG was an Apple thing. Amy was developed at ASRL (Atari Sunnyvale Research Laboratory).

Amy and Saunders's Rainbow were to be components of the Sierra computer, which was to contain an Intel processor, not dual 68000s. Rainbow was a chipset, not a single chip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.113.244 (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
