Maybe someone knows more about that.

North and South Staffs hospitals used amigas until around 1998 for that exact reason.
As for Ataris, well my STFM lived out its days of usefullness being used to prop open doors and hit people with, much in the same way my 2 IBM PS/2's ended up as a step to reach the top shelf of the pantry.
I used mt STFM with my Korg X3 for years with no problems, it was a brilliant little setup, unfortunately the X3 died and shortly after i spilled bear all over the STFM (now my little home setup cosists of a triton, an X5D and a powerbook)
10 years ago I would not have faulted my Atari, but time has told and where my Amiga 1200 is still in use and is usefull for allot more than nostalgia, the STFM will probarbly be thrown out in my next cleanup.
