I think Atari Corp had a burst of engineering competence at the end after Tramiel Sr handed over the reigns to his sons. But it was too late, the market moved on.
The Falcon is a lovely machine. The last TOS releases addressed some longstanding problems. Hiring Eric Smith to work on TOS/MuliTOS was a good, but late effort. Porting SystemV and trying to make a budget Unix workstation was a doomed but clever effort (I still remember the UnixWorld news clip box headline "Up from toyland").
I bought a 486 late 1992, put Linux 0.97 on it, and moved on.
