<PAGE>                              Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D


     Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Time Warner") and its
wholly owned subsidiary Warner Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation
("WCI") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby amend and
supplement the Amended and Restated Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended,
relating to the Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock")
of Atari Corporation ("Atari"), dated March 28, 1994, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 1994 by the Reporting
Persons and amended on April 20, 1994, March 23, 1995 and October 24, 1995. 
As provided in the Amended and Restated Schedule 13D, as amended, and a
Joint Filing Agreement filed as an Exhibit thereto (which Exhibit is
incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons have agreed,
pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to
file one statement with respect to their ownership of Common Stock of
Atari.  The Amended and Restated Schedule 13D, as amended, of the Reporting
Persons is hereinafter referred to as the "Statement."

     Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Statement.<PAGE>
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.               
          Item 3 is hereby amended to incorporate the following as the last
paragraph thereof:

          "On July 30, 1996, Atari was merged with and into JTS
Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("JTS") pursuant to an Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 8, 1996
(the "Merger").  As a result of the Merger, the separate existence of Atari
ceased and JTS remained as the surviving corporation with all of the
rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties, assets, liabilities and
obligations of Atari vested in JTS.  As a result of the Merger, each share
of Atari Common Stock outstanding at the time of the Merger was converted
into one share of JTS Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "JTS
Common Stock")."

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
          Item 4 is hereby amended to incorporate the following as the last
paragraph thereof:

          "As a result of the Merger described in Item 3, Time Warner and
WCI no longer own shares of Atari Common Stock."

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          The fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs of Item 5 of the
Statement are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows:

          "On March 29, 1996, 70,000 shares of Atari Common Stock with a
value of $3.142857142 per share were transferred along with the other
assets of Atari Games Corporation ("Atari Games") in connection with WCI's
sale of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Atari Games to
Williams Interactive, Inc.              

          As a result of the Merger described in Item 3, as of the close of
business on July 30, 1996, Time Warner and WCI ceased to have beneficial
ownership of any class of securities of Atari.

          Neither Time Warner or WCI is aware of any beneficial ownership
of, or any transaction within 60 days before the filing of this Statement
on Schedule 13D, as amended, in any shares of Atari Common Stock by Time
Warner, WCI or any person listed on Annex A or Annex B hereto."

          Item (d) is not applicable.
