An Atari/TOS clone? What is that?

Since this page now is the official site for the Ac (Atari Clone) Mailing list, and one important requirement to become a member of it is to own an Atari/TOS clone, we, sad as it may sound, actually have to define what an "Atari/TOS Clone" is. And here is the definition of such a machine; A TOS clone is a machine built to run TOS as soon as it gets power. A TOS clone is hardware made to run TOS, with the intention of being a TOS machine. The only difference between a real Atari and an Atari/TOS clone, is that Atari built the real ones, third parties built the clones. Their intentions were the same, hardware that runs TOS!
Now follows a list of what we regard as legal Atari TOS Clones;

Hades, Milan, Medusa, Eagle

And here are stuff we do NOT regard as being valid Atari/TOS clones;

• A PC is NOT an Atari Clone. Not even when it runs an Atari emulator.
• A Mac is NOT an Atari Clone. Not even when it run an Atari emulator.
• A Hades can run Linux, and still is an Atari Clone.
• a PC or Mac can run Linux, and still is NOT an Atari Clone.

What is the purpose of this site?

For those new (or old, but not updated ;-) ) to the world of Atari anno Y2k, there were developed three different Atari clones during nineties. The first Atari clone that was available was the Medusa T40, produced by a Swiss company called Medusa Computer Systems. The T40 is now discontinued. Then, a couple of years later, the Hades040/060 became availabe, also made by Medusa Computer Systems. The Hades was the first Atari clone that could use a 68060 CPU and had 4 PCI slots, 3 ISA slots and a VME slot (as found in the TT). Some years after the Hades was released, a new company called Milan Gmbh, located in Germany, released their Milan. This machine was, at the time of release, a lot cheaper than the Hades, but came in 68040 configurations only. The Milan also have 4 PCI slots and 4 ISA slots, but no VME. Follow the link to the individual manufacturers site for more info. For some time, Milan had a follow-up machine in development, the Milan II, but this development has been dropped, and is now a dead project. The reason for the demise of this project is that vital parts are not available anymore, and adapting the motherboard is considered too big a project and too expensive for the small market. However, now the Milan is available with 68060 CPU as well.

This page is dedicated to users of the abovementioned Atari/TOS Clone machines. Here you can find information about other Hades/Milan/Medusa users. As most people still using Atari computers, or follow what happens around the Atari scene knows there have been developed some Atari clone computers. Owners of these clones are hard to come by, and this is an attempt to keep a 'directory' of users and what machine(s) these users have. This page was formerly maintained by Lonny Pursell, but he asked me if I wanted to host/maintain this page. I think he asked me because I actually had a Hades060, and he didn't at the time. But that situation changed, fortunately ;-) Congrats with your new Hades060, Lonny! ;-)

Lonny tells me that input was rather rare when he hosted this page. So, if you're a user of one of these machines and not on this list, COME ON, mail me your info so I can add you.
