The Falcon040 Microbox case is widely considered to be the inspiration for the PS2 case.

Sometimes I think the Atari marketing bods actually went to great lengths to try and make absolutely sure their systems would fail in the market
Similarly, the whole process of development for the Falcon and Jaguar seems slightly bizzare. Using the ST case and the MultiTOS debacle both looked bad, as did hobbling the system with slow RAM and a 14mb maximum.

There are lot infos about Jaguar, Loki, Panthere, VM labs, ATW, Helios... on net but there is no background info about Falcon!
