The ... *probably* refers to the machine being called the 'STE' or 'ST-E' in the computer press (though Atari may need to change that name, apparently, as Popular Computing Weekly says that 'STE' is also the name of an 8-bit bus standard). The 'STE' is an 'enhanced' ST -- primarily in supporting added video modes (including a 4096-colour palette mode) and in having builtin stereo sound. In other words, sounds like it is intended totally as an Amiga-basher. In most other respects it is just like the current ST's. Atari Germany say that the base STE will be a 1 Meg machine. Atari UK are saying the base STE will be 1/2 Meg. Have to wait and see. It is packaged in a single-unit case like the 520's and 1040's, rather than separate boxes like the Megas. Other details are still a bit thin, but maybe someone can expend on this. -- Paul Smee | JANET: Smee@uk.ac.bristol Computer Centre | BITNET: Smee%uk.ac.bristol@ukacrl.bitnet University of Bristol | Internet: Smee%uk.ac.bristol@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk (Phone: +44 272 303132) | UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!gdr.bath.ac.uk!exspes
