The Atari Transputer Workstation (also known as ATW-800, or simply ATW) is a workstation class computer released by Atari Corporation in the late 1980s, based on the INMOS transputer. It was introduced in 1987 as the Abaq, but the name was changed before sales began.[2][3][4] Sales were almost non-existent, and the product was canceled after only a few hundred units had been produced.
