No, a business version. Very little difference to a std Atom.

I've got another Atom that's labelled slighly differently, with 'Hobbit'
(actually: 'Hob-bit') on the left hand side of the keyboard label. The
Atom was promoted by the electronics magazine Hob-bit as the right
computer for their readers. So, a batch of Atoms with keyboard labels
with 'Hob-bit', were made for the dutch market.

No other diffs....

And finally, there's the colour Atom. an Atom with colour card fitted by
the factory and a little label 'colour' added to the right of 'Acorn
Atom' on top of the kb label.

If anyone's interested I can make some images. 

Regards,

Wouter
