The beige reminds me more of the PS1, but the overall look is very PS2 like

It certainly looks different that all of the other machines Atari released. The majority of the machines, including the Falcon030 (with a 68030) were single units with the keyboard built-in.

Supposedly, with the Falcon line, they were going with GEM on top of Helios (a UNIX alternative O.S.) but sales (esp. music creation sales) in the USA had dropped so much, that it didn't matter to keep going. :(
