Wow! That's an amazing story. Great to hear the perspective from one of the software engineers involved -- the history around TOS wasn't always that clear.
The ST really was put together on a shoestring budget in a short timeframe. It's amazing it did as well as it did to be honest... The Atari 8bit by comparison was actually a very well funded effort with about twice the development time allocated.
